Has anyone enrolled and graduated from Excelsior College RN Program

Published

I am an LPN who has been attending a LPN-RN program at my local community college I made it to the last semester and bombed my final which gave me a 73.8 average. So I could not complete the program- I needed a 74.5 I am looking into the Excelsior college online program because I would really hate to get this far and quit. Has anyone had any experience with Excelsior college? Any info would help I have already borrowed $14,000 and still do not have my RN Just want to make sure it's not a scam....Thanks Tonya

Here is a good question. Since a few states have issues with EC grads, would their BON have an issue if an EC grad obtains a BSN for another online university and then applies to that state? HMMMM

I think they would because they look at the school you got your RN from.

First, Thanks to everyone writing on this site.

I am a chiro in Florida who has been waiting too long to make my career change into nursing. I am grateful for those who have blogged comments about EC. This seems to be my only way to fulfill my dream at this point.

If anyone can tell me more about their experiences I would greatly appreciate. All advice good and bad is welcome.

Thanks for the help - truly.

Does EC still take chiropractors? I enrolled as a chiropractor about 6 years ago. They used to take chiropractors. I know that they changed their policy and no longer allowed chiropractors admission. Maybe they changed their policy again.

I have been a nurse for about 4 1/2 years. It was the best career move that I have ever made.
