Excelsior College transfer before finish CPNE

Published

I am wondering if and what schools there are in Florida that will accept Excelsiors College nursing credits before finishing the CPNE. I cannot wait a whole year to test I am ready now and unfortunately the waitlist for the CPNE is now over a year. I am in Southwest Florida and right now this is wasting my time in not only being able to continue my education but being able to work as a RN. Thanks ahead of time for any and all help.

I don't know of any schools that accept nursing credits from other schools. There are a myriad of reasons for this, but suffice it to say it looks like you're going to be waiting.

According to other former Excelsior College students that decided to take an alternate route, they could only transfer their pre-reqs. I haven't heard of any colleges allowing the transfer of nursing courses from other nursing programs. Unfortunately you will have to wait it out or start from scratch with another nursing program.

Hi FloridaNurse87,

Due to the setting in which the FCCA takes place (computer-based in a setting most comfortable for you) Excelsior College students aren't allowed to collaborate while taking the FCCAs. I would, however, highly recommend using Study Group 101 to study for the FCCAs if you're looking to save $$$.

The fcca was fine! I used study group101 study guide and never had to retest. Also I never took the CPNE due to the amount of time I was waiting to take it. I ended up transferring my credits to a school down here and Florida and completing my RN just did my NCLEX yesterday and found out I passed today.
