   happydrunkcat replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Excelsior

   EC does not require filming anymore. At least, it was not required for Teaching class. I think they removed it from Health Assessment class as well (You can always call them and ask). Classes are challenging. BSN program is much harder than ASN (well...

7. Excelsior student relocation from NY to FL and need some guidance

   happydrunkcat replied to Mimi2BNP's topic in Florida

    happydrunkcat replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Online Learning

    Well, it's not too bad. Yes, it will take me 2 years, but I was taking a lot of "time off". I did not have any classes from middle of April till September. I did not combined Writing class with anything else. Now I'm taking Research and again, nothin...
