Attending excelsior and traveling

Published

Hello all, I am considering registering at excelsior to finish my ASN degree in the near future. I currently live in Ga and I am aware that I will not be able to sit for the boards in Ga after graduating if I decide to graduate from this school; but there are over 31 other states will endorse or allow for you to sit for their boards. My question is since I have flying priveledges through Delta Airlines would it be a good idea to travel to other state and work? Also, can any one who may be currently enrolled there tell me about how they prepare for their exams and clinicals. I am just tring to make a fully informed decision about the school before I waste anymore time and money. I made up to third semester in a 4 semester traditional program. The courses that I passed were Fundamentals with clinicals, Med-surg, with clinicals, Obstetrics with clinicals; I still needed peds, psych and advanced med-surg; Also, do you think I even qualify for excelsiors program ? In addition, I would love to connect with other students there if possible?

P.S any other pertinent info would also be greatly appreciated!

Thanks CD!

The school's admissions policy is here:

It sounds like you've completed at least 50% of your clinicals, but it would be best if you'd contact a nursing advisor at Excelsior College directly to ensure you're eligible.

The various state restrictions are also listed on Excelsior's website: https://www.excelsior.edu/Excelsior_College/School_Of_Nursing/Accreditation_and_Licensure/State_Board_Requirements

I recommend going to the publications page at https://www.excelsior.edu/Excelsior_College/Publications_Before_Login and downloading their school of nursing catalog; it contains a lot of helpful information about the structure of the ADN program.

Good luck, and welcome to Allnurses!
