    anticoagulationurse replied to bcskittlez's topic in Online Distance Learning

  9. New to Excelsior

    anticoagulationurse replied to lambey1218's topic in Online Distance Learning

  14. Still have questions about Excelsior

    anticoagulationurse replied to singlelife's topic in Online Distance Learning

    1) Yes you can finish in 4-5 months with just taking the NC exams. I did my NC1-7 in 5 months. 2) Yep, this defers your annual enrollment (Annual student fee). So, you can take all pre-reqs (not...

  19. Excelsior and Clinical Issues

    anticoagulationurse replied to anticoagulationurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I totally get it and have read the NPA, etc. Real life is a different story from the state NPA. I guess, probably because of the nursing shortage, LPNs are being used in a lot of floor nursing...
