   cali you are right, that would be great for me because york is within driving distance for me, not next door of course, but better than having to pay for a planr ticket to god knows where, and hotel rooms etc.

3. Need Excelsier College information

5. Need Excelsier College information

   AR2010 replied to AR2010's topic in Online Learning

   Caliotter, thanks for replying. I had looked on the EC website and it was somewhat vague, I did get the gist that its basically as you said, an evaluative tool for those with previous clinical expertise. I will definitely check out some of the unbias...

8. Warning - excelsior students

   AR2010 replied to robertjankowski's topic in Online Learning

   Texas, well put, especially the comment on the clinical aspect. Online programs like EC are not made for people who have no clinical experience whatsoever. It does kind of cater to those that have the experience and are self motivated (alot of times ...
