ISU VS. Excelsior

Published

I am thinking about going back and getting my RN. I have looked into Excelsior alot and the Clinicals scare the poo out of me. I have for the last 4 yrs worked in an office behind a desk. I have not been in a hospital in years so the thougth of it scares me. I do however like the idea of the self paced and I love the idea of paying as I go so I do not have to take out student loans.

I have just started researching LSU at the suggestion of a co-worker. I like the idea of having a preceptor who is an RN I think I could learn alot.

I still have to look at the cost of each program, the amount of time it takes to complete and which of my pre-requs will transfer over.

What are your opinions on the two?

Does the RN to BSN have to do the clinical as well? I'm a EC grad aka as Regents back in the day and swore I would never do that clinical again. It is way more than a simple check off list.

No, RN-to-BSN does not do the CPNE again. No worries. :)
