Cost of Excelsior if you have ALL pre-reqs done.

Published

I think EX may be the way to go for me. If I do a lpn to Rn bridge in a traditional school, i'll have to spend about 3800 for two semesters or so, and have to drive two hours a day and sit in the class for however many hours...

What do you think the lpn-Rn cost would be if you have ALL the pre-reqs such as anatomy, micro, etc.. already done? Its almost like its a secret of how much it cost.

Thanks.

It appears the cost worksheet on Excelsior's site has not been updated. The prices go up every July 1.

My costs over the last 2 years since I enrolled were about $10K. That includes English, Psych, Math and Info Literacy pre-reqs, Micro exam, all 8 Nursing exams, FCCA, CPNE, a workshop, and air fares/hotels for both. I never figured an exact amount, but I think that is close. The 'pay as you go' aspect appealed to me, and I have no student loan debt.

The cost will increase dramatically if you don't get those exams done by July. In July, those exams turn into 16-week conferences with assignments, which I'm sure will make $3800 look like a steal of a deal!:woot:
