Their office is closed today. Unfortunately I can't get any information until Monday. So if I can gather information by then that would be great. Oh and plus I would like to hear about student experiences from this college from actual students themselves VS what I'm reading on their website.

If you are in California, the California Board of Registered Nursing stopped issuing RN licensure to Excelsior College graduates who enrolled after December 2003.

In essence, Excelsior is not a viable option if you are in CA because you will never be licensed in CA with an Excelsior nursing education. The CA BRN has issues with the lack of clinical practicum hours in the program. Since you are using the 'LVN' title instead of 'LPN,' I conjecture you are in CA or TX.
