   I haven't looked further into the prep classes for the CPNE( as I don't have all the test complete yet) but did read that there are weekend workshops to prepare you for the CPNE. If you don't pass on the 3rd attempt they refund you the cost of the c...

15. Excelsior Nursing Program?

    tonimoss14 replied to RelentlessOne's topic in Excelsior

    How are things going in the Excelsior program? I am on the fence of starting the Excelsior route or with Broward College. Obviously the draw to not have to go to class and clinical is strong. I am currently working as a paramedic and previously worke...
