Did anyone who Graduated from Excelsior College had problems when trying.

Colorado ASN Graduates sitting for boards: Anyone registered before January 1, 2006 will be grandfathered in with no changes to them as long as they keep their registration with Excelsior active by paying the applicable maintenance fee each year. Those who complete an Associate Degree and are not LPNs will need 750 additional clinical hours. Those who complete an Associate Degree and are LPNs will need 350 additional clinical hours. The state of CO is currently working on a plan to make those additional clinical hours available. (9/2005)

Hey, to all who care, I have spoke to Indiana State University concerning the college network. the program runs the same as the university. There are pre-reqs that can be obtained anywhere and transferred. clinicals are done at hospitals in terre haute. support is available with the nursing profs at ISU. They also have a fast track that moves a little faster than the traditional semesters. this is very legit! it is well worth the time to inquire more from ISU. you can call the nursing school and they can get the info to you.
