very interesting. please send me this info. thanks

I used to live in Villa Park. I now live in Lake Geneva Wisconsin. The wisconsin nursing board told me they accept Excelsior if it the one in Albany N.Y. so I assume it is O.K. My sister lives near Peoria, not sure where, never been there.

I have been a licensed paramedic in Illionis for 25 years but have moved to wisconsin. I called the nursing board in wisconsin and they said they accepted Excelsior if it is the one in Albany NY. I assume that means it is o.k. Thanks for the reply. Gary

How long did it take for you to finish N/c 1 & 2? I was working in the ER at the VA hospital in Milwaukee and didnt have time to pay attention. I transferred and now have hours to work on the classes. (I work night shift). How did you do in the practical? I am proficient in all the nursing disciplines in the ER, Probably started 10,000 I.V's in my career, ACLS cerified 20 times. I am assuming the practical will be a challenge but not the Hell weekend that I have read in the posts. Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply. Would you know if I will be accepted into the nursing program before the prerequisites are completed? I should have done this a couple years ago but was lead astray by the person in charge of education at the VA hospital in Milwaukee. They have a tuition reimbursment program for accredited nursing schools and she told me that it did not apply to EC because a few people started and did not finish. If I get accepted I will research to find out if that is nationwide VA policy or just this womens decision. She is also the person who told me go to Cardinal Stritch, after being accepted she told me I did not qualify for the program because it would take 5 semesters.

I have just applied to EC for the ADN program. I have been a licensed Illinois paramedic/firefighter for 25 years with 10 years hospital ER experience. Hopefully I will be accepted and look forward to becoming an RN. I saw a post saying you could take classes before being accepted, is that a good idea?
