EC RN-BSN? Yes or no?

Published

I just got my RN and now I'm looking at RN-BSN options. I really liked the RN program at EC, but I've noticed that many of EC students went elsewhere for BSN. What is the main reason for doing that?

I'd really appreciate if you share your thoughts and reasons why did you choose to get your BSN elsewhere, and which school you decided to go.

Thank you!

I completed the BSN Feb of last year. So I do not have any materials for the program. I am currently in a MSN Ed program so what I have now, I need ;)

Thank you for your insight Melody. Did you do your ADN through EC as well, and could you offer a comparison of what the BSN is like vs the ADN if you did? How long did it take you to make it through the BSN @ Excelsior? I thought I read a few weeks ago that EC is no longer requiring videos to be made, but I could be mistaken. Are you doing your MSN though EC?

Yes, I completed my ASn through Exclesior. The ASN and BSN are about the same until you get to the online courses. I am not attending Excelsior for my MSN, because of cost and time.
