Excelsior LPN RN Florida

Published

I was wondering if anyone has completed Excelsior's LPN to RN program. How was it? Did you do the traditional classes or the self study ones? Was there a wait to do your clinical weekend at the end? Did you take and pass the NCLEX?

Has anyone gone on to further their education post Excelsior? Were there any issues?

I am considering enrolling and have so many questions.

Thank you in advance!

I was wondering if anyone has completed Excelsior's LPN to RN program? yes, many have. I am one of these many :)

How was it? Did you do the traditional classes or the self study ones? It is nursing school. It is no walk in the park but it is doable. I took almost all exams but at the end I did take a course before the FCCAs because it was an option (the courses weren't offered when I first started the program).

Was there a wait to do your clinical weekend at the end? Yes.. I waited 8 months from accepted app to test date. Currently the wait time is 1+ year unless you get a cancellation date.

Did you take and pass the NCLEX? yes, 1st attempt

Has anyone gone on to further their education post Excelsior? I am doing ECs RN to MSN program and as expected there were no issues there. Many others have gone on to other schools for their BSN or MSN. Personal choice.

I will add that I didn't run into any issues with employment because of my school choice, either.
