    I think your best bet would be to contact the BON directly and get a firm answer from them about any program you're interested in. It would be a shame to spend time and money on a program based on advice someone here gave you, and then find out that you weren't eligible for NCLEX after all ...

    The Distance Learning forum here has several threads about folks' experiences with College Network, Excelsior, etc., and employment experiences.

    I phoned the NCBON a few moments ago regarding Excelsior and was informed that the NCBON DOES recognize and accept their programs.
