Any excelsior grads who travel

Published

Hello fellow travelers. Being that I am a LN who travels and am trying a different way to get my RN while I traveled. I wanted to ask are there any excelsior graduates who travel? I haven't met any so far and just wanted to see if my 1 year plan will work with going thru excelsior.

Excelsior grad here... Been traveling on/off for about 7 years. ED/ICU, with no problems

@citimedic if excelsior grads can't be endorsed in Cali how did you work there? Did you become endorsed before they made these strict rules?

Yes, it was before. However, I know plenty of people who became licensed after. It is on a case by case basis, depending mainly on experience.

I did Excelsior when it was Regents, in 1999. I've been travelling on and off for 14 years, just finished an assignment in California. I was originally licensed in Arizona, and now hold a compact license. No issues for me.

To clarify: lost cause for getting a CA license/endorsement at this time.

Not true for me, I got licensed there about four years ago.

I am also an Excelsior grad currently traveling. I have had no problems with licensure in any state and while I have not traveled to CA personally I have a friend who is also an Excelsior grad who has been traveling to CA for years.
