Excelsior

Hi!!

I have been a LPN for the past  5 years and I  work in LTC . I recently called Excelsior and was told they had made some changes to the ASN  RN program . I  was wondering if anyone took NUR 250 and went for the clinical portion of the class. If yes, can you share your experience with me. 

 

 

It is a practical exam or a clinical rotation?

 

 

Thanks

I will have the clinical rotation this coming weekend.Keep you posted. Nur 250 it is full off assignments labs on vsim, pre u quizzes

Hope they changed the CPNE because that was very stressful.  Best of luck to you!

   Thankfully, and Mercifully, the CPNE is a thing of the past.   I really cannot complain though, Excelsior has opened more doors, and allowed me to make more money , than I could ever dream of as a Medic.

 

Good luck.

All went well, a lot of good experience. Nothing stressful ,we need to perform a head to toe assessment and  pass meds . excellent! nothing compared with CPNE. 

Thank you for putting my mind at ease, I was so worried that it was like the CPNE. I never actually took the CPNE but read about it and students reviews were horrible.

Nothing compare with CPNE.I fail that exam, so I know . I was extremely stresses ? before, but I was wrong

I am a fire department paramedic and received my RN from Excelsior's in 2009.

I never had a problem getting my first nursing job and have been working as both a Fire lieutenant/ Paramedic and ER nurse since 2009.

 

 

So, has the CPNE been eliminated?

replaced with some sort of clinical?

I ask because my wife is almost done with LPN school and is considering getting her RN the way I did.  I got my RN from Excelsior's in 2009. I failed the CPNE the first time but passed the second. That was very expensive to repeat. Hotel, airline tickets, etc.

Yep, clinical weekends that are instructional in nature. ? Students report that the new set-up is very supportive and positive. 

I feel bad for the many people that I have met in person and online here, that failed the CPNE (myself included). Perseverance and circumstances allowed me pass the CPNE but not before putting out many thousands of dollars.

CPNE WAS ELI.INATED , OTHERWISE TERIBLE TOOL TO GRADE SOMEONE

@Aalbulescu1 this awesome I was scared of how the clinical would be set up but im glad its similar to what was done during my LPN clinical rotations. Im set to take NUR 250 this Summer so this info takes a load off : )
