Is there a way...

I just enrolled in Excelsior College, and what I am wondering is...can I do the theory through Excelsior and the clinicals at a traditional college? Would they even transfer to a college?

I'm very concerned about the CPNE and passing it since I have been working assisted living for quite a while now. :confused:

I truly doubt it. Maybe experienced Ecers can give you a definite answer though.

You MUST pass the CPNE to graduate from Excelsior.

Yes, thank you...but what I'm wondering is, is the theory part of Excelsior transferrable to other colleges so that I could finish up the nursing program elsewhere. Not graduate from Excelsor but another college.

I guess I gotta get over my fear of the CPNE and get it done. Have faith in myself and my abilities / skills, huh

Transferability would depend on the school ... I would imagine most wouldn't take EC credits, though. You'd have to contact the potential schools and find out.

I doubt that you could do that, too. I know EC BSN tests are used as credit for several BSN programs out there, but the associate's degree part is a different ball of wax.

If the thing holding you back is the CPNE, you will have plenty of time to prepare and set up a study lab at home. Many people go through EC and are rocking nurses. The stats are scary about the 60-something percent pass rate, but many, many people get through the CPNE eventually. It's just a hurdle--a big, expensive hurdle, but one that is worth a few bucks per working hour in the end.
