Hi, I'm currently an LPN and have been for about 9yrs. I've finally decided to seriously crack down and go back for my RN. I got accepted into Excelsior's program (May 1st start date) and was just curious if anyone else is starting or has already started the program.

Can I ask how far along you are ? And when you say you don't retain much what do you mean ? Are the professors and advisors not helpful ?
BMP1117 150 Posts Apr 7 Im almost finished with Phase two of the program. I'll be in phase 3 starting Summer 1. Retaining the information we have to learn is what I mean. You are given numerous chapters to read each week, along with the prep U quizzes, Discussion boards and all assignments are due by Sunday of that week by 11:59pm. Advisors mostly help you in terms registering for your classes. I do believe they have tutoring but I don't really need it. I more so wished they had like lectures 2 days a week it would help as opposed to basically teaching yourself. The professors do have zoom sessions once a week to address your questions or concerns. But like I said you are pretty much teaching yourself. my situation doesn't allow me to go to a physical school which is why I had to go to excelsior but I would rather go to a physical school if things were different. Make sure you do all your assignments and study as best you can to pass you midterm and final.
