Got the info from a current student i met on the day i went in for the physical exam.

.....I figured as much.

That's what I like straight from the horses mouth.

***Speaking of physical exam. A prospective student informed me that half the class of '07 this year", either were failing or just quit. Her cousin is in the program. I was in state of shock! Consider this "cocky" but I really didn't anticipate it to be that difficult. "Well I guess I would of been in for a rude awakening."

The program is extremely intense so I am really not surprised to hear of people failing or dropping out at all. We just have to do our best.

Why Excelsior? It's the fastest way to become an RN if you have all/most of the pre-reqs!!

Each teacher gives you your 1st study guide. The material handed to you will be on your first test. Some teachers will tell you and some wont. They want to see if the students will study!
The advantage of this is on the outline they give you, it gives you a break down of what your going to do that 1st semester. So those of you who wants to pass with high marks, study ahead. Stay on top of your game because they really like that!

I dont remember when tuition is due because I got financial aid. But i'll find out!
First semester is the only semester you get alot of breaks( thanksgiving, christmas, etc). Second semester is the LONGEST semester because we have one day off. And before the third semester we get one week off. Then the third semester we have two days off.
Just pray that you have exams almost everyday because thats the only time it goes by faster.

Well it turns out the remedial classes has the headsup. They are already covering medical terminology. The instructor told them they'll be somewhat advance, because of the material covered on top of their assignment on July. I''m having a friend makes some copy for me. If its anything major or worth your while; I"ll forward it for those who are interested.

Will come back w/ more info...

Right here trying to grasp the fact that only 140 out of the 200 students that started are graduating. The class is so intense but also got good news that if we can master VEEB, we all good for ANY RN program. That is a PLUS!

I heard that about the RN program too.. We just have to STAY focused and STUDY, study, STUDY! I'm sure we'll make it through VEEB and beyond!

And where are you and Dime getting all this inside info?? LOL
