You will be fine with getting a job, particularly since Excelsior is a NY school and is very highly regarded.
Clinicals shouldn't be impossible. They are mostly NOTHING that you haven't already done. The lab simulation is where the skills you haven't used - setting an IV drip by a clamp and gravity, IV push - come in. You've mixed meds in a syringe, given IM and SQ shots, and done wound care.
Go for it.

thanx so much you are aweome advice for me:) i respect that very much and thanks a million!!!:)

I'm in Rochester, and I'm currently prepping for my CPNE. I used to work with a guy who finished his EC RN and last time I checked he's working at a local hospital. I'd say that if you've got the motivation... you've found the solution!
Good luck!
