Excelsior College Grads in NC

[gamedic31C]

Is there any bias against Excelsior College graduates by the North Carolina Board of Nursing? Are there any hospitals in North Carolina that will not hire Excelsior grads? I am a Georgia resident and have planned to apply for a North Carolina license after I graduate from Excelsior and pass (fingers crossed) the NCLEX. I want to do this because 1) all of the recent turmoil caused by the recent actions of the Georgia Board of Nursing, 2) North Carolina is a compact state, and 3) my sister is a North Carolina resident and would help me relocate if necessary.

I know an LPN who works in the Float Pool with Me is doing Excelsior for her RN, she should be finished in December I think. She is undoubtedly the best nurse (LPN or RN) I have ever seen. She works on on med Surg units and clinics. She is amazing! I think excelsior is becoming more accepted since you have to have prior LPN, paramedic, RT, or PA experience to complete it. I read that many states who wouldn't "accept" excelsior grads have since waived that notion because they just have a requirement for the Excelsior Grad to show where they have precepts with a licensed RN for x amount of hours etc.....
