Any New York EC Grads out there?

Nursing Students Online Learning

Published

I am currently an LPN employed in Central New York. I am interested in continuing my education through Excelsior College Online for my RN. Are there any CNY Excelsior Grads out there that are employed in local Hospitals or Clinical Offices? I would really appreciate a response. Thank you.

I am not an EC student, but I just graduated with my RN. I would suggest you get your ADN at a regular college, then go for your bachlors online, you really need a good solid start point.

Hi Terina,

Graduated from EC last yr with ADN. the most difficult part (for me) was sustaining the motivation and dedication to completing the program. the are a number of ppl who feel EC is the 'easy' way out without really knowing what the EC degree entails. EC is definitely not for everyone aspiring for the RN... but if you feel comfortable with patient assessment, and confident in your ability to learn new concepts and skills very quickly, EC may be the right choice for you. It was for me and other ppl I know as well. Good luck to you!

Thank you for your response. I have been working as an LPN for the past 6 years. Two years in a hospital and 4 years in a Family Practice Office. I have 3 children and need to continue working full time. I was hoping that going through Excelsior might be the way for me.

Terina, check into the Distance Learning forum. LOTS of EC attendees/grads there, a lot from NY, where the program is based.

TerinaL, what part of NY do you live? I'll be finishing LPN school In 2 months and my classmate and I will jump on EC right away. Interested in study buddies?

Congratulations! August is right around the corner! I live near Syracuse, New York. Really not sure what I am doing yet though. I wish you and your friend all the best!:nuke:

Are any of you EC grades are going to do your BSN through EC? I'm thinking that is one of the best ways to go.
