   maggie1990 replied to maggie1990's topic in Excelsior

   @Prayernurse: I agree with you-and I do enjoy the classroom IF the professor actually teaches! In community colleges I'm guessing they have teachers that went to school to LEARN how to teach instead of reading these piddly power points. I pretty much...

   maggie1990 replied to maggie1990's topic in Excelsior

   Well, most of the responses I've been reading from the forum were from 06-and the rep did say that things have just recently changed. That's why I was looking for someone who has enrolled more recently to see if they had a better experience than thos...

   Hey Everyone! Thanks for all of your comments. After looking into it and talking it over with my parents we're deciding against it. The rep came yesterday so I'm still in the 5 day period to cancel. I've made copies of the cancellation notice and my...

10. College Network/Excelsior Advice

    maggie1990 replied to lilyfrog27's topic in LPN-RN

    Hi, I spoke to a college network rep yesterday and he informed me that their module books condense Excelsior's list of books (which he said was huge) and focuses it to the tests you have to take. I'd rather go through excelsior, but the draw to TCN ...

    maggie1990 replied to maggie1990's topic in Excelsior

    Hi, I know TCN isn't affiliated with Excelsior, however the rep yesterday told me that I'll get updated materials as things from Excelsior changes. I also heard (from the rep) that Excelsior gives you an overload of materials to buy-and that's why T...
