How long does EC take???

Published

Hey everyone! I currently have my LPN license and I'm looking into finishing my RN with EC. I have a lot of the general ed classes already done so does anyone know how long it might take if I only have to finish the nursing concepts and clinical part? I've also heard that most people fail the clinical on their first try, is this true?

It took me 10 months for all the NC exams, the info lit, 2 prereqs and the CPNE (including the wait to take the CPNE which at the time was 3 months). I did it this fast to get out of paying the annual student fee for the second year. I worked full time, no kids. Hope that helps!

if you pay for all of the concept exams up front, are you able to use the payment plan and how much per month does it come out to be? i"m trying to figure out the best way to pay for all of this stuff. it gets a little complicated with all the fees. have you talked with anyone at excelsior to help you figure this out?

thanks!

i read somewhere that you can have more than one payment plan with the exams. they divide it into 2 payments. i have not talked to anyone cause i am paying cash for nc 3-7 and my yearly fee ...then i am going to schedule my exams about a month a part . i am doing it this way cause i will fall off track but if i have a date set then i will keep on keepin on...
