Hi all, Im interested in attending Excelsior's RN program. I'd like to know if anyone knows if you can test out of all your gen eds with CLEP, DSST, etc. I was told by admissions that I can't get connected with an advisor until I enroll, and I would really like to get the info and test out of I that I can before enrolling. Does anyone know which tests and subjects correspond with/are accepted?

I have heard from many (and on this site... maybe do a search) that it is almost impossible to successfully earn your license this way. Be EXTREMELY cautious and do lots of research.
Christina Faye, LPN 8 Posts Sep 9, 2021 Thanks for the advice. I wouldn't have considered it when they required the CPNE exam and the long wait it entailed, but now they are to have 2 weekends of clinic in the curriculum instead. At this point in my life, it's the only logistically doable option I have, but I am still gathering info nonetheless.

I am currently studying to take the TEAS. I have most if not all the gen eds class. Have you taken the TEAS yet?
Christina Faye, LPN 8 Posts Sep 9, 2021 That's great. I'm not taking my TEAS yet, just because I'd like to see what I can test out of first, then take the TEAS and enroll. Keep me posted, and I'll let you know if I find out anything worth sharing.
