Confused about excelsior

May 19, 200521 yr

Hey,

I'm looking at online RN-BSN programs and I was looking at Excelsior's website and reading the comments here. I'm thoroughly confused. It seems to be that you just take an exam every so often and then when you take enough exams, you are done?

The website talks about excelsior courses, excelsior tests, how these tests apply to other institutions...it doesn't make a whole lot of tests to me. Can someone give me a straight-forward explanation? Like do you have to take the courses or can you just take the tests? Does excelsior offer all that's needed to successfully get a BSN degree? Will an excelsior BSN degree negatively affect graduate school? Thanks!
