Welcome to allnurses! :balloons:

There are a kazillion existing threads here on EC -- look in the Distance Learning forum. Lots of info there, and lots of people who are in the program.

I am currently enrolled with this program and have taken NC1, preparing for NC3, I have not had the best study habits but I am working on that. I think for a distance program it measures up. I am concerned about the clinical, from the info. being put out there about it. The advisors are helpful and I recommend using the free content guidlines offered. :nurse:

I'm not sure it's the same thing as Excelsior College ... http://www.excelsior.edu ... this looks to be a middle-man-type company. Anyone have any clue? Aha ... just saw this in VERY fine print: "Disclaimer: Excelsior Education Services is an independent organization and is neither affiliated to nor is it a branch of Excelsior college." It sounds somewhat like Distance Learning Systems, with in-person tutoring/classes that end up with the students taking actual EC exams.

The OP might be better just going to the actual EC website.

I take great exception to their subtitle -- "Become a registered nurse the easy way." *snort* Excelsior is NOT the easy way.

Good catch -- sounds like it's definitely not the same as EC (but I'm sure they don't mind if people don't notice the fine print ... :rolleyes:)
