Excelsior Nurses: Any luck in CA?

I'm federally employed in CA but hold a compact license. I was wondering if any Excelsior grads have had any luck recently with licensing in California?

The California Board of Registered Nursing adopted the following motion at its board meeting on February 6, 2004:

"The following action supersedes and replaces the December 5, 2003, Board action related to Excelsior College:"

"Excelsior College graduates, like other out-of-state graduates, must meet the requirements set forth in California Business and Professions Code Section 2736, including supervised clinical practice concurrent with theory, in order to be eligible for examination and licensure as a California registered nurse. This eligibility requirement applies to students who enrolled at Excelsior on or after December 6, 2003."

 

No change on CA BON website since Excelsior college changed some of their courses to require onsite clinical experiences during the same course term = clinical practice concurrent with theory for the Associate program.  Entrance still restricted to just 15 states, Asociate program still not accredited by ACEN however BSN and Masters program is accredited.
