Congrats Sue!! I Graduated Aug 21, passed boards Oct. 9th, Started as an RN on Oct. 12 in a top rated Hospital in my area, and hadn't even worked as an LPN for many years! Like Sue, I can't speak highly enough of EC, and have decided to stay with them for my BSN and maybe beyond! Becoming an RN through EC has trully changed my life!

Thanks Sue, I did call them and got the "unofficial evaluation" I know what I need to take, I just wanted to be sure if I clep them they will accept all of them. Several of the Colleges I looked at will only accept up to 12 clep credits, and one wouldn't take my English Comp form EC, That is why I am staying with Excelsior, once I clep/dsst my gen eds, I will only need to take College Writing, Stats, and the Nursing courses to finish my BSN.

I have decided to continue my education with EC, since all of my credits are from them. For my BSN I still need 30 Gen ED credits, as I have no prior credits, except my ADN. Does anyone doing the RN to BSN with EC know if there is a limit to the Clep or Dsst credits they will take? I don't want to enroll until I complete some of these. And I could save a small fortune if I can clep or Dsst most of them. Thanks, Cissy:D

Just received my quick results! I passed my boards Friday with 75 questions:D, and I start my new job tomorrow! I can't believe I am finally done. EC was one of the best things I have ever done for myself. CEB65RN:yeah:

Check out your local thrift stores, if you have any near by. I found two nice outfits at Salvation Army for under 7 bucks each, wore them each to my interviews, got the second job. So, I dressesd for success for less than 10 bucks,lol.

I got a job!!!:yeah:. I was offered a position in one of the areas top hospitals! I still cant believe it. For all of the people who think they won't get hired if the do EC's ASN program, here is my story: I Graduated 08/21/2009, had two interviews and was offered a job by the second hospital just 3 weeks after I graduated. Now, there are also 11 other RN programs in the area, and the job market is very tight right now, and although I am an LPN I have not worked in years, and I still got the job! I am so excited, because it is such great opportunity for me. I start next month, and I can't wait!!!:D

I did Chancellor's Careplan Lab and thought it was great, Stay at the Candlewood Suites, the rooms are really nice and so is the staff, and you will get a great rate on your room. Good luck with your cpne.:wink2:

Hi, I just finished Excelsior's ADN program. I used Studygroup 101 notes on several of my exams as an extra study tool. I would not use them as my only means of study. I used Chancellor's study guides and found them to be very good. I also followed the content guides and used my text books. Hop on over to Distance Learning and you will find a wealth of info on Excelsior College. Good Luck!!

I interviewed at UPMC Shadyside yesterday, and yes, staff RNs wear white. :wink2:

Thanks Lisa, I just got off the phone with one of the advisors. It will be a toss up between Chamberlain, Penn State or EC. Chamberlain is very generous with the credits, and I will likely have less classes with them, so I am leaning toward them. If I stay with EC I will still have 8 prereqs to do! And Penn State may not give me credit for my A&P or Micro (no labs) and I am not repeating classes!! Cissy:D

I too am looking at this program, but seems to me after reading the info on their website, that only 2 of their campas programs are accredited by the NLNAC and the online program is not. Lunah, can you clarify this for us? Thanks, Cissy:uhoh3:
