I really need so help/guidance from some other nurses :) I feel lost lately because I really want to get my RN. However, since I am overseas with my husband my options are pretty slim right now. I haveat been thinking hard about Excelsior and I have grants from the military to help pay but today I read about the CPNE where you go for two days to test out for clinical....and a lot of people fail :( Thats not very encouraging....I also know that Excelsior has places in the states that you cant work in unless you have a year experience...after theat year experience can you work in any state??? I also saw somewhere on this website people talking about Indiania State University...how is that school??? Just trying to have a little hope before I just feel like giving up...thanks for the help!!

Just make sure that the state that you eventually are going to end up in accepts Excelsior and ISU if those are the options that you're looking at. CA has a big issue with Excelsior.

I understand that some states have issues with Excelsior....but is it true if you work for a year or two in a state that accepts Excelsior then you are okay to work in other states??!! thanks for the help :)

It all depends on the state. I heard that CA will no longer issue licenses to Excelsior graduates either by initial licensure or endorsement if they enrolled on or after the cut off date. Good Luck
