    Excelsior Grads - Do You Think Online Nursing Is In Jeopardy? What State Are You In?

    BBFRN replied to beginning's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Oh- well, I stand corrected then. I hadn't thought about people who might take 5 years to finish. Makes sense...duh. I'm still wondering what Peanut's personal experience with EC is,

    CLEP Chemistry

    BBFRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi all, I am seriously considering CLEPping Chemistry for my RN-BSN program, due to scheduling hassles. Has anyone here CLEPped this one? I've CLEPped Soc, Bio, and Lit before, so I'm...

    Excelsior Grads - Do You Think Online Nursing Is In Jeopardy? What State Are You In?

    Is it only a matter of time?

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

    I have to say, I agree with everything Ivan says. I think this is the way things will go in the future for EC (adding clinicals). If the NCSBN is passing this down to the individual SBONs, I think...

    Excelsior Grads - Where are they now?

    BBFRN replied to EricJRN's topic in Excelsior College

    I'm doing the BSN-PhD program. I did all my science courses w/labs in trad schools, because I knew I was going to continue with my ed, and didn't want that to be a problem. I did CLEP Biology &...
