What is this excelsior college you speak of? Do you have to be an lpn or rn first? I am relocating to TN and trying to figure out where I should apply! I already have my AA in general studies (still lacking a&p1 &2, chem, etc.) and trying to decide where to go that's not too expensive, but where I will not have to wait forever to get in. I am 28 and wanting to start a family asap! Im also not sure whether to do lpn, and, or bsn! Oh...the possibilities....haha

Excelsior is an online college. As far as I know it does not have a campus in Tennessee. It is completly online except for the end of the program where you do a short intense clinical to complete the program. I would advise against it unless you are highly motivated and able to work independantly. Also, from what I read on this forum, it is not accepted in the state of California. So even if you have been an RN for several years in a differnet state and then move to CA, they will not give you a license because your education came from excelsier. Here is a link to some info about the program.

Hello,
My husband has a career opportunity in the Nashville area. We have been in Florida where I began working as a CNA, then nurse tech/Patient Support Tech, and then got training as a telemetry tech. I've been taking prerequisites for a nursing program associated with our hospital system to get my RN/ADN. Within a year I will be in our nursing program which will take 18 months straight through.
My question is if anyone knows of a hospital system with a similar program in the Nashville area? I would really hate to give up a good opportunity in front of me here to get locked out of my plans to become an RN in TN. If anyone knows of the different hospitals and what educational opportunities there are I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!
