Please do a search on this forum on RUE and excelsior. You are NOT getting an RN thru RUE. They are only a study guide publishing company that sells their materials for thousands of dollars. The RN degree comes from Excelsior college and they also provide study guides free of charge. If you need extra study materials (from RUE/Chancellors/etc) you can often find them on Ebay from suckers like me that went into it without knowing what I was doing. You will only pay a small fraction of the cost doing it this way.
