If you are reading this then you probably already know I live in GA, which means I am being effected by the State Board of Nursing no longer accepting Excelsior RN/ASN degree. I have paid the TCN $2000 so far, and still owe $2000 more. Since my program is no longer applicable, I want my money back... not some of the money.... all of it. TCN's respose to this entire mess is that because Sonny Purdue says "he wants to help distance learning nurses", TCN feels there is still hope that GA will change its mind... so I have been given the option of either continuing to wait for the next 10 yrs or so until they have a "final" decision for them to give all of my money back, or I can get half of my money back (by that I mean I have to pay them $2k, and they don't charge me the second $2k). Keep in mind... I HAVE NOT TAKEN ONE TEST WITHIN THIS TIME FRAME!!!!! I don't know what to do to get out of this, I am discouraged, and feel cheated. More than anything, I need that $2K to pay for school locally in GA if I can't finish my RN on line.
If anyone has any suggestion, at all, for how to proceed from here, please let me know. I feel backed into a corner, and my husband and myself are so upset.

Consult a lawyer and see if they could round up a class suite.................this way they will send a mail to those involved w/ the school, and you will be surprised as to what the response is. Ex. Wellpoint is in a class suite now for not paying overtime ....3 nurses complained aobut this, and the lawyers sent out letters to those nurses that worked within the years specified and they have now a running number of 300 nurse who wants to be a part of the class suite! So this may be a good way to get this school. Chances are you are not the only one that got gyped.
