Now everyone won't have to rush to finish before July 2015! :)
I appreciate the feedback we received about my earlier announcement of changes in the nursing theory examinations. After careful consideration, we have decided to continue to offer nursing theory examinations as one of the options for completing program requirements in the nursing theory series.
Beginning with the Fall 2015 trimester, students who have completed the prerequisites will have three different options for meeting the nursing theory requirements in the associate degree curriculum:
Enroll in an 8-week online course.
Enroll in a 16-week Nursing Theory Conference + Examination (NTCX). This requires completion of an online conference in the first 8-week term, and sitting for the examination on a date during the next 8-week term.
Study independently and register for an examination when ready.
These three options are intended to meet the needs of our students. You may elect to utilize all three options as you progress through the curriculum. The faculty and staff at Excelsior College and in the School of Nursing value flexibility in higher education, and are pleased that we can offer all three options.
Yeah I noticed that too. But on 11/06/2014 the School of Nursing Dean sent an email verifying this change. Just to be on the safe side, I am still trucking forward full speed ahead to meet the July 1st 2015 deadline.
I am kind of at a crossroads, finishing up micro and need life span so I have been torn between finishing my last pre-req or jumping into the transitions.
