LPNtoRN transition

[LaLaEm4]

I am currently in an LPN program and will graduate in December of 2010.

I would like to go directly into an LPN to RN program, and work part time as an LPN.

Is it possible to do this if I go through excelsior? Also, I know it sounds stupid, but for the NCLEX-PN, can I take it in January of 2011 or will I have to wait longer? As for excelsior, how does this program work?? I've been looking and have only gotten more confused with everything I've read. I've heard some say it's self paced, some say otherwise. How long will it take?

Also, has anyone ever heard of the Pratt Community College LPN to RN online option?? Thoughts??

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Emma

I have just completed my studying in Excelcior and I am nurse graduate waiting the paperwork to be proccessed in order to take my state board. I definitely DO NOT recommend Excelcior or any other online programs. Instead of 1 year as one ******* from College Network promised me it took me almost 5 years to get just associate degree. Believe me,I am not stupid or retarded. But lack of communication and access to information made me to loose so much time! They will make you to pass through this hell of CPNE where you will pay enormous money for this most stupid test I have ever seen. So, I have a very bad experience with this college. But may be you will do it differently. Off course at the same time it is so convinient to study on your beloved sofa...
