Thanks guys, I'm going to call Tuesday and maybe get started with them. I was enrolled in their ASN program back in '09, got all the way to the CPNE but left after the first day. I had my LPN license but no experience and after the first day of the C...

Hi all I just finished my ADN degree in May and am looking for an rn-bsn online/distance program that I haven't missed the fall deadline for. Also I'm a bit confused about how out of state tuition works with on line programs. I've researched the prog...

Thanks for the encouragement. I have decided to just go on and give it a shot, I leave in the morning. I have a couple of last minute questions, I'm starting to stress over little details lol. Q's: when I first enter the patients room do I wash my ha...

Give it a shot..I took my first test in Feb, second in March, third and fourth in April...got restless, and took the last 3 very close together in May..you know what? I did fine. Like the above posters said its definetly an individual thing but you n...

Ok, I applied for the CPNE on June 5th. However it took me two weeks to get a dr. appt for the health status report, and then I couldnt find my CPR card, then I thought everything was done but there was something missing on the health status report s...

WOW, nevermind! they just called me, I test at York Hospital in PA Sept. 25th-27th! I was so surprised they called so quickly, and how many dates she had available. YAY, im excited, any thoughts on the York, PA site?

I would suggest checking with your local community colleges...if they approve the lecture course you took as equivalent to theirs, they shouldnt have a problem with you just enrolling in their lab. It shouldnt be any different than a student who pass...

I am awaiting a CPNE date and realizing its time to start looking for a BSN program. I had decided before to go on to Indiana State University for my RN to BSN but now that I am so familiar with Excelsior I'm thinking why not just do their RN to BSN....

I took Across the Lifespan 2 yesterday and got a C on it...I did not study well for it at all and I would like to take it again in a week or so. Can you retake an exam you passed? and do you pay for the exam again? thanks in advance:specs:

HeatherTN, I'm assuming you are a TN resident, if so I believe TN RODP has a new associate in nursing completely online, you will do clinicals locally and I'm not 100% sure how it works but it is somehow intertwined with community colleges across the...

Ok so I was going to apply to Excelsior yesterday, but I didnt because I keep wondering about ISU lpn-bsn program. The ISU program looks perfect for me but I live in TN, and it isnt accepted here. *BUT* I live only 20 minutes from KY and VA both of w...
