   workingtheplan replied to tbone641's topic in Online Learning

   Hey tbone, Just sending you some encouragement....I had the same concern as you at first. If YOU don't make not being an LPN an issue it won't be one on your CPNE or your NCLEX. I came from a traditional brick and mortar nursing program into Excels...

   I just wanted to politely correct your last statement. The GaBON said that Excelsior and the GNA needed to make their presentation to the Education Committee for the GaBON, not the Board of Education.

   Yes there are other states. Right now even if you have been an RN for 20 years if you graduated from Excelsior you cannot get endorsed into Georgia.

8. Excelsior and the Texas BON

   workingtheplan replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Online Learning

   workingtheplan replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Online Learning

   Unfortunately all of the proactiveness in the world cannot protect ANY Excelsior students in ANY state when dealing with either their Board of Nursing or Excelsior College. I dotted every i and crossed every t before even entering Excelsior's program...

    workingtheplan replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior

    Hi, I saw your post and I just wanted to encourage you to make sure you complete 50% of the clinicals of your traditional nursing program - not just 50% of the traditional program. There is a difference. I wanted to add that b/c I did the same thing ...
