Graduating!

[SarahLPN2RN, LPN]

I just wanted to let everyone know this program was wonderful for me, although significant changes have been made since I started. 

I went through my LPN program in the mid 90's, worked a bunch of years, and then I had kids. I made the choice to stay home with them. Thirteen years later I decided to go back to work and pursue my RN. I was terrified, rusty, and had no idea if I could do it, (and btw, I homeschool my 4 kids). I got a job at a local nursing home (I think their only requirement was that I had a license and a pulse), and after being thrown in the deep end with virtually no orientation, found out that, yes, I could still do it. I enrolled in Excelsior's ADN program. It was hard. I learned so much. I went on to get a job on a med-surg floor at a local hospital, the training and experience there was super helpful. Between all my responsibilities, I really could not have gone through a traditional nursing program.  

Excelsior has awesome resources to study for the CPNE, and I used all of them, but I could not have gotten through it without Rob's Review. So, now four years (almost 5) after starting the program I am done, I graduate this February!

Does texas BON still recognize this school and allow you to sit for your NCLEX?

If you check Excelsior’s website, you should see a list of states that have additional requirements and states which students are no longer being granted admission into this college. You can also check with the Texas BON to be certain of their position with online/distance learning.
