Hi I was inquiring if any LPN's out there in Pennsylvania,returned to school,and got their RN degree through EXCELSIOR college in New York,it is a at home degree,highly interest me! Only thing about is the clinical expreience,it is 2 and half days! That is it! I didn't know if it is worth my time or not!
I noticed alot of colleges or going into web based classes and video classes!
I was wondering if you go through a program like this,Does employers frown on a education from there? It is alot cheaper than going to school?
Im lookng at all ideas!
Feel to Repond!

Suggest that you check out the specific forum that we have here for Distance Learning. There are many threads there on Excelsior. I am sure that you can get the answers that you are looking for.
Excelsior is not specific to your state.

I did the Excelsior LPN to Associates in Applied Science in nursing program and I liked it. Instructors were always available and would get back to you if you had questions. It's been almost 3 yrs since I completed and they had a great website to be in contact with other students for questions, advice, etc. I can tell you the clinical may be a long weekend but you must know everything and perform to their standards or they fail you. I passed it the first time but I studied my tail off, went to workshops and purchased the kit to help in the practice stations. Having a 14 yr background in the hospital helped me too. Good luck with your decision.
