Re: LPN to RN Online---Which is best
PERSONALLY i WOULD STAY AWAKE FROM EXCELSIOR AND RUE and COLLEGE NETWORK( WHAT A SAD WASTE OF MY TIME AND MONEY).
You will not finish your program with Rue in 3 months,,,,,,even if you have the prereq's done. You are paying money for your books on top of having to pay to take the exam.
EXCELSIOR-2.5 YEARS
COLLEGE NET WORK-You are actually doing excelsiors program but you dont find that out until you have signed up for that contract. I was able to slip out of most of my contract with CollegeNet due to a technicality but they still got alot of my money
Believe me you WILL WANT TO HAVE CLINICALS TO RELATE TO YOUR BOOK WORK INSTEAD OF AT THE END.
Also note that Excelsiors pass rate is actually 62%, not the 85%( which is low to begin with) they were boasting.I also couldnt get ahold of my advisor for 2 months when I started with excelsior. In the end they each got about $2000 from me and I decided that I needed to research better.
I will say that Rue is a knock off of excelsior though( and they are both bad)
I did the Univ of Rio Grande in Ohio. Check out their website.

Best choice I ever made. I commuted once every other week for clinicals(12 hours), which were mainly in Chilicothe( 4 out of 5 semesters) with one in Galipolis for mental health(6 hours). If you have questions then please feel free to message me
