Hope my thread title makes sense, but I recently met a gentlement who completed Excelsior 2 years ago. He recently graduated from Howard University in DC with his BSN and applied for licensure in Maryland. Maryland denied him off the basis of that even though his BSN is from Howard, his associates from Excelsior is what really mattered and he is not eligible for licensure. Anyone else have this problem in any other states that doesnt accept Excelsior?

Maryland now accepts Excelsior grads if they complete 1000 work hours in DC.

Just a point of clarification: the 1000 hours don't specifically have to be completed in DC.

Thanks Pixie. Yes you are correct. Hours can be completed outside of DC..
