    David Offenbaker replied to brocksjr's topic in Excelsior College

    ReebokHCFR: I took the information literacy back in September. I don't remember whether or not the price included the sending off of transcripts. I have been scouring their site for a good hour trying...

    Study Group 101

    David Offenbaker replied to pookie5676's topic in Excelsior College

    Go to UPS.com and find your local UPS store. Call them and let them know you're wanting something print and bound. Usually they have an email address where you can send the file. That's how I did it...

    Excelsior and ALEKS

    David Offenbaker replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Excelsior College

    No, I haven't taken an ALEKS course before. Do you recommend them? I've taken some with Straighterline, CLEP and Penn

    David Offenbaker replied to pookie5676's topic in Excelsior College

    One thing, however, I noticed about SG101. A lot of spelling error. I know it might now sound like a big issues, but they always stop me in my tracks. I'm a huge stickler for spelling and grammar....

    You sure can! I do it all the time. I even send them to Fedex/UPS to have them printed and bound. Price of the study guide + binding is usually about $16.50 :-D

    Excelsior Question: pre-reqs

    David Offenbaker replied to brocksjr's topic in Excelsior College

    I did my pre-req's through Straighterline.com. They're much cheaper than doing the Excelsior exams. If you have any questions re: Straighterline, pre-req's, please let me know.

    David Offenbaker posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't know what is wrong with me. I've been an LVN/LPN for 4 years and I have been dragging with Excelsior. I have ALL the study materials I will ever need (long story) and for some reason I keep...

    Best A&P study guide?

    David Offenbaker posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Good evening all! I took A&P at a CC some years ago and for some reason Excelsior is having an issue accepting it stating it is a course specifically from Paramedic/Allied Health Majors. So,...

    Exam q2weeks???

    David Offenbaker replied to Kr_nurse09's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Talk about inspiration! This is what I'm doing. I'm registering for the exams, giving myself that deadline as if I'm in a brick and mortar school and can't change the exam date. Seems to be working!...

    RN to MSN at Frontier

    David Offenbaker posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Does anyone happen to know what the course pre-requisites are for the ADN to MSN (FNP)? All I see is the statistics course that has to be less than 10 years old. Also, any Excelsior grads do the NP...

    RN to MSN NP

    David Offenbaker replied to 4jen's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Robin, Where did you obtain your ASN? I, like you, am in Texas and interested in the ADN-MSN(NP) program at Frontier. I've scoured their website looking for the pre-req's to the program. Do you know...

    Excelsior BSN

    David Offenbaker posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi all! There is a lady at work who's daughter is going through Excelsior's BSN program. She was telling me all her classes are 'online'. Well, as most people assume with the ASN program, the classes...

    Online RN to BSN through Texas Tech

    David Offenbaker replied to SkateBetty's topic in Online Distance Learning

    My biggest dilemma is that I took a 4 credit-hour combination A&P I/II class here in Texas. EC accepted it, but I'm wondering which universities would accept it. The BSN is a ways away, but I...

    Excelsior BSN

    Awesome! I was waiting to hear from a Excelsior BSN student. How many of your classes were actually online? How was the cost compared to the ASN program? Thanks a million!

    Excelsior BSN

    David Offenbaker replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm just trying to decide which ASN to BSN program would work best. I figure since I'm with Excelsior now that the transition to BSN wouldn't be as difficult. Any other schools that are Excelsior...

    David Offenbaker replied to SkateBetty's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I too am intersted in the Texas Tech program. Do you have to have the traditional pre-req's (A&P I and II), or can you transfer the Excelsior credits? Thanks!

    Since all the problems are happening with the GA BON, I'm wondering if the Texas BON is soon to follow in their tracks. Who would I need to speak to in order to find out whether not not Texas is going...

    Rude Excelsior Advisor?

    David Offenbaker replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi All! I think I just got a bad apple in the bunch! Previous times I've called/email they were rather helpful. Thankfully, I am off tomorrow, and I plan to call them and get some straight answers :-)...
