Online LPN to RN Programs

Hello,

Does anyone have any experience using an online LPN to Rn program? I am considering Excelsior College online, but am a little concerned about not having the hands on clinical experience. If anyone has gotten there RN thru them please let me know what you think about there program and cost. Was it a good school experience?

Thanks,

Angela LPN

    Hello. Graduated RN program thru EC May 2005 - passed NCLEX June 05. Loved it. The program worked well for me due to full time employment and busy family life. I refer to it as my "midnight diploma" because I never had time to study until at least 9pm (usually til midnight). You have to be a self starter and very motivated to make it through this program. The cost is kind of high, but worth the convience for me. Make sure you check with the board of nursing in your state - or any other state you may want to work in. A few states will not recognize this degree. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions. Good luck.

    I had been an LPN for nearly 20 years - I have had TONS of "clinical experience" in real life so this was not a factor for me.

    Thank you for your response. How long does it usually take to complete, if you seriously buckle down and study hard, can you complete 1 class a month? How long did it take you? Thanks
