I am still debating between Excelsior and Chamberlain. I have enrolled in Excelsior as a resume booster while I look for new jobs and have signed up for their 1 credit course. I was told today that despite having all classes but ethics and a writing course, I can not start the nursing classes til January. Expository writing is not offered again until September and I can not start nursing classes until that is finished. The advisor said it would probably be two yrs from then on, this seemed like a long time especially with the tempting 10-12 months that Chamberlain offers. Of course I have little to no tuition reimbursement as I may be between jobs. Once you started the nursing component how long did it take you for the RN-BSN from excelsior? Did you work? little kiddos at home?
