4. OKlahoma and Excelsior College

   Katmease replied to jack786's topic in Oklahoma

   You would have to find out which courses are required by the board. Years ago when I did the EC program (Regents) in MO, the board required Ethics & A &P with a lab. Wasn't a problem for me as I'd completed a year & a half of an ADN pro...

5. Do you belong to a nursing association?

   Katmease replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

   Ditto on the ANA. I am a Sigma Theta Tau member & am working on my NP. I have known diploma & ADN nurses that knew more than some BSN nurses so I can't in good faith exclude them. I do understand the need for a more "professional" standard...

    Katmease replied to lbennett_71's topic in Online Learning

    Like the others said, save your money. You will be paying Rue on top of the Excelsior costs. When I did Excelsior's program, they have their own bookstore. Also, you will have access to their site for students that has a special section that stude...

    I, too, have a BS in criminal justice & have wondered since I have rheumatoid & psoriatic arthritis if maybe a future career in forensics might be interesting? There is also quite a bit of psych & soc in criminal justice so maybe a psych...
