  1. Ultimate question LPN or RN

    Definitely do your RN. I started as an LPN in 2011 and it is hard to find jobs as a LPN. Don't waste anytime. Only advantage of me doing LPN first, was that it made RN school a walk in the park for me.
  2. Any Excelsior grads have a hard time finding employment?

    No issues finding a job. Got 3 job offers at hospitals once I passed my NCLEX. these hospitals do not know that excelsior is fully online when you apply. They just care that it is a fully accredited institution. And you have your degree. It's all abo...
  3. Maybe I shouldn't say this out loud but...???

    Yes, the nclex RN was very easy. I studied for maybe 1.5 weeks because my brain just couldn't take it anymore. I was a former LPN working, the EC tests, FCCA, and CPNE fully prepares you. I couldn't even open a book once I finished the CPNE to study ...

  13. Excelsior Grad Nov '12 New RN!

    I never did college network which is a scam. I studied using mainly study group 101 and a RN foundations book if I needed clarification on something. I wish I could tell everyone I know to stay away from college network. That's what usually discourag...
