Excelsior pay by exam and course

Published

Hi everyone!

I'm currently enrolled at Excelsior College pursuing the LPN to RN program

I'm interested in doing a blend of Excelsior's online courses and pay by exam to finish much quicker. I wanted to know if anyone could help me figure out what nursing courses I should just do the Pay by Exams for since someone mentioned that some of the nursing courses are the same as what I took in LPN school.

Looking forward to some guidance!

I would suggest looking at the exam content guide for each class (that is basically your syllabus) and if it looks like it's familiar/mostly review, that might be a good one for the exam version. Unfamiliar? Try the course.

Yeah I think you can only judge that for yourself based on the content guides. Me, I tested out of all of the nursing exams so I cannot offer a reference based on nursing classes. I took Gen Ed classes online through excelsior and was very happy with them.

Agreed with the above. Check out the content guides and go from there. The studyguide101 material, along with previous knowledge, has been pretty decent at prepping me for the exams.
