  3. Is Excelsior the right choice?;)
    I agree, make SURE your state BON accepts Excelsior, Mine said as long as it was accredited in the state where the college is located, that is good enough for them! Good luck and keep on! :wavey:

  17. Anyone else feel the same way??
    You need to know 'textbook' procedures, theories, etc. What happens when you get out is called 'the real world'. Think textbook and you will do fine. Bridging from LPN to RN is a big change!

  22. Math requirements?
    I think it is just one of the Gen Eds for a bachelor's degree. Some of the ADN programs are also requiring it now. If you have to take chemistry you will need a background in math.
