If you are a self-motivated student who is capable of independent learning, Excelsior might be the right program for you. However, if you need the structure of physical classroom attendance on a regular basis, a classroom-based bridge program might fit your needs more optimally. Good luck to you.

Can you clarify the meaning of BSN core?

I went from LPN to BSN, and in my experience, I was more comfortable with the material, asking for help, as well as keeping an open mind by evolving how I learn and take tests, meaning, I am a kinesthetic learner, as well as an auditory learner, so I started recording lectures when possible. I also utilized reputable resources outside of the text book, especially "recommended reading" sources that I still use today as a nurse, as well as review books.

I also made sure I was in the mindset of being a BSN student at school and a LPN at work; and made it work. :yes:

I am suspecting that BSN core = non-nursing core curriculum (a.k.a. general education requirements), although I might be incorrect.

I went to a generic BSN program that was accelerated for two years part-time of nursing courses; I had an AA degree that satisfied all pre-req requirements.

Please what's the name of the school? I have an AS degree. Just want to see if the school is here in Pennsylvania.

Where are you located?

The schools in my area are Holy Family University and La Salle University that come to mind (graduate of La Salle's program) , as well as Drexel University; I think Villanova and Jefferson have one as well, but I am not sure.

I am sure there are many other programs even outside if my area, but I am not familiar with those.
