Received this from USA this morning, in reference to their ADN-FNP program:

Dear ---:

I'm sorry but we do not give credit for Excelsior courses.

That will leave you the following courses to get credit for:

Pre-cal algebra

General Psy

A & P I & II

C.I.S.

You can get credit for most of these through the CLEP program if you still want to come into our program

Good luck as you continue to advance your nursing education.

So they'll give credit for CLEP exams but not for Excelsior exams? They'll take my Excelsior nursing degree but not the pre-requisite courses I took there? :banghead:

Pass. On to the next program. I'm getting good vibes from Albany State University's ADN-FNP program. I'm not retaking A&P if I don't have to.

You may be out of luck with A&P 1&2 at some schools because they may require a lab but all the other should be accepted. I know I would not want to take them over.Good Luck!

Thing is, I have the labs. I took them separately because Excelsior's A&P doesn't have them.

Anything to get a buck or feed an ego or two! As if any of that made a difference, a real difference. They think we are all fools, ripe for the picking of our pockets.
