Exceslior RN to BSN

[Hotyoungmom]

Greetings,

This question is mostly directed to Graduates of the Excelsior Rn to BSN program. I wanted to know about the class structure. I notice when trying to look up a general education class that there were test out for some of the BSN classes. I wanted to know is the whole program similar to the LPN-RN program, where you have 3 different options to complete each class. I wanted and need to know this information so that it helps me make a clear decision on where I should go to complete my BSN.. Thank you in advance for answering.

The RN-BSN program is nothing like the LPN-RN program. The BSN portion consists of 8 and 15 week courses. You are allowed to test out of the general education portion of the RN-BSN program, except for the expository writing class, but that's it...unless they've changed things since I graduated in 2014. The program is very doable, especially if you're good at writing papers. I took 3 or 4 courses together during one semester.

The he only thing I didn't like was the group projects. Things would have gone so much smoother had everyone in the group been equally motivated. There is always that one slacker that holds everybody up.
