ECPI

From what I have heard the best route is an online program like the one at Excelsior Excelsior College | The School of Nursing at Excelsior College. Their requirement is that you are an an LPN and not what credits you have to transfer. Credits from ECPI don't really transfer.

Hey futurenurse333. I graduated from ECPI in 2011. I attended the campus in Greenville, SC. I'm almost done with Excelsior College LPN-RN program

Excelsior accepted a few of my LPN credits. When I attended the school it was ECPI College of technology. Now its ECPI University. I was told that the reason they changed their name after I graduated was so that colleges would accept all of our courses. They were having a lot of problems with students transferring credits to other schools. I hope this helps.

I've heard excelsior is expensive (cost not that much of a concern) but I've heard it's very hard during the clinical portion. How has your experience been?

Im waiting on the next fcca opening, which will be Jan 4th. Excelsior is a hard program, but its a good program. After I complete the FCCA, I will be eligible to apply for the CPNE which is the clinical weekend. So far lots of people I have watched complete the program have passed the clinical weekend on their firsrt try. One girl only had 9 days to study and she passed. I will update you on my progress. So far I've passed all of my exams on first try no failures. I used TCN, excelsior practice exams and study guide, and saunders comprehensive nclex book. I've spent around 3k so far. Not that expensive. Most people I ran across on this blog spent around 7k.
