Excelsior College or College Network

[Diamond01]

I am eager to find an LPN to RN program. I obtained information on both Excelsior College:uhoh3: and College Network. It appears that the transition maybe easier with Excelsior College but I am not sure. Does anyone know which would be a better choice. LPN for 1 year and ready to move on.

That is correct! You do get guides for each test you take, including the CPNE, so you will know what you need to know.

Did you complete the EC online program?

ec is not a online program it is a self study test out program. you study at home then take your test at pearson vue. i went to a county hospital based lvn program, it was rough and taught by military rn's that checked your white shoes with q-tips....i studied very little for these test . basically i just went and took them. i do not recommend that cause not every one test the same. i will pay for my test (cpne) next week then start the long wait of sitting until i get a cpne date....

It's not an online program--it's distance learning.

I have finished my theory tests and am awaiting my CPNE date. The CPNE is my last requirement.

[txspadequeenRN, BSN, RN]

online and self study is both considered distance learning.

eh, you know what i mean.

LOL. I call it exam based. I feel that's more safer to say about EC regarding the Associates program. I want to enroll tomorrow but I have to finish LPN school first!

Hi, I went to send you a private message and at the bottom it said i could add you to my buddy list. Is that AIM or yahoo messenger or is it through this board? I find it so much easier to keep in touch via instant messaging. Thank you for your EC info. I'm still waiting for my nclex exam date.

I imagine it is through this board. Just send me a PM anyway!

What exactly is giving you the biggest pain in the butt?

College Network is kind of attached to EC only in College Network's mind...IMO. You don't need them for EC.
