I'm just starting myself so I'll be following everyone's post too. I have tons of books here from my previous nursing school so hopefully I won't feel the need to buy anymore, :/ Just waiting my 6 weeks for them to review my transcript which they al...
Thank you!!! I did call excelsior today and sent in my application and fee so I guess you can say I've put one foot forward, :) Now just waiting to hear back.
If I understand the excelsior program correctly, I do qualify because I've successfully completed one year of nursing school. I did get clinical experience with it also. I currently work at a hospital so I'm constantly exposed to nursing care too w...
Thanks so much for the advice. I did call the SBofNursing and cannot sit for the LPN boards unless I've finished an LPN program but it was worth the try. I'm gonna go on and pursue the Excelsior route. I'm sending in my application today with the ...
Thanks. I sent an email to the Board of Nursing and will follow up with a phone call if I don't hear back. It doesn't hurt to ask and that would be wonderful! We'll see.
Here's the deal, I attended Charity School of Nursing and completed Basics, 1st semester and Nac 1 (nursing of the adult client 1) the 2nd semester, which I had to repeat because I got a 76.67 and needed a 77 to pass. I passed the second time with a...

You don't that much more to go. If you apply for Sept, you are most likely to get accepted for next fall. This will put you right at the 3 years your looking for. Just be sure to get all the pre-reqs done before you actually start the program bc t...

I would go speak to a college advisor whether it be at a community college like Delgado (off Old Spanish Trail in Slidell) or to a university such as SLU, UNO, LSU or some other large college. This way you can figure out what you need as to what you...

I have bookmarked this page bc I will need reinforcement on this subject throughout my semesters of testing. I'm one who overthinks questions too and I can't seem to stop doing it. I'm a analytical thinker and many times my mind carries me further th...
