New here and open to advice

Hello I'm a Virginia LPN, currently fininshing my Psychology BA degree in Atlanta GA. Upon graduation I plan to take a distance learning class to pursue my BSN. I was researching the different programs and have gotten so confused. I believe Excelsior is the right choice. But have also gotten mixed reviews on Nursing Concepts Advantage. Can anyone help with this process of elimination? What are the pros and the cons? Any advice would be much appreciated. :)

Please, please, please read the Nursing Concepts Advantage thread in this section of the website before you sign anything with NCA. I have emailed you directly with more information. Hope this helps you make a more informed decision. BY the way, NCA only supplies material/tutorials to you so you can pass the Excelsior exams. You do not get your BSN from NCA. It is done through Excelsior College which has NOTHING to do with NCA or other study guide companies. I'm not saying all study guide companies are bad, in fact I am using one myself, I just don't want people to confuse this for-profit business with the legitimate Excelsior College.

I appreciate the infomation about NCA. I know not to go that route. I think I won't deal with the publishers at all and just go through Excelsior directly. I figure I will start sometime this summer after a well deserved vacation. But can anyone give me an idea of how long it will take. I think I may need Anatomy and Phys. and microbiology along with the nursing concept. Is it realistic to think I will be done in 8 months??
