Moved to Distance Learning Forum. Check out the rest of this forum, you will find many threads already on the same topic.
The one thought that I have, if you already have your RN, then you really do not need this type of program. There are also many others available to you.
Check out some of the others as well. Excelsior works best if you are an LPN and wanting to complete your RN, but you have that already. There are quite a few other programs out there that will be much cheaper for you to complete.

Career180,
I completed the Excelsior College ASN program and I'm now working on RN-to-BSN there. You're welcome to send me a private message and I can fill you in about my experiences.
ignorant as to how to send a private message.....sorry! But I'd love to know your thoughts on Excelsior!
I'm confused as to why I wouldn't need this....I'm planning on going to CRNA school, and need a BSN as one of the prerequisites, and I was told about this program......cost is a great concern, and you mentioned other choices----care to share? thanks for moving me......often get told I don't know where I am!:wink2:
