Hi HB 49 will not permit Georgia students that have completed 50% clinical completion in a traditional RN program to obtain licensure. I was recently licensed in Georgia after transferring from a traditional GA nursing program to Excelsior before t...

Hello Everyone, I came across this and wanted to post for everyone's view. I found this at the Georgia Nurse's Association site http://georgianurses.org which links directly to it. God bless and Merry Christmas to everyone. For Immediate Release Dece...

Hey tbone, Just sending you some encouragement....I had the same concern as you at first. If YOU don't make not being an LPN an issue it won't be one on your CPNE or your NCLEX. I came from a traditional brick and mortar nursing program into Excels...

I wanted to post back that by the grace of God I passed the CPNE this weekend. I am so relieved. I'm heading back home and I'll post details after I get settled. GN

You're welcome.

I just wanted to politely correct your last statement. The GaBON said that Excelsior and the GNA needed to make their presentation to the Education Committee for the GaBON, not the Board of Education.

Stuck to the Excelsior content guide and used textbooks, practice tests.

Yes there are other states. Right now even if you have been an RN for 20 years if you graduated from Excelsior you cannot get endorsed into Georgia.

EricEnfermo gives great advice. However, that advice would not have even helped Georgia Excelsior graduates or students since there is no mention of Excelsior, online, or distance (except related to a specific medical center) in any of the minutes. ...

Unfortunately all of the proactiveness in the world cannot protect ANY Excelsior students in ANY state when dealing with either their Board of Nursing or Excelsior College. I dotted every i and crossed every t before even entering Excelsior's program...

Congratulations RN. Way to go!

congrats!!!! you really worked hard and you should be extremely proud of yourself. i have tried unsuccessfully to copy the feuer files. any suggestions?

Please attend the upcoming Georgia Board meeting in Macon. The exact date and time that the Excelsior/GaBON issue is being presented has not been provided. At this point I would definitely not depend on Excelsior to provide that info. However, the...

Hi, I saw your post and I just wanted to encourage you to make sure you complete 50% of the clinicals of your traditional nursing program - not just 50% of the traditional program. There is a difference. I wanted to add that b/c I did the same thing ...

:up:Congratulations!!!!

Good for you! I recently passed at Albany Med and would be glad to answer any questions you might have. Feel free to pm me.

Too cute!!! Lunah, I think you might have started a trend. I don't have one, and I'm just not into them. Howeverrrrrrrrr, if I were to get one it would be of me slaying a HUGE CPNE dragon (which I did, thank GOD). It would have my test site and th...

Congratulations to you GN. That's awesome!!!!!! I'm doing my happy dance for you.

That's awesome!!!! Way to pass. You are a great example of perseverance. I'm sure your story will help many others. Thanks for posting. It's on to NCLEX land now.

Sooooooo proud of you. I posted on EPN and I wanted to post here also. You dit it! Great job.

Excelsior College's RN program has been the best thing since sliced bread for me. You have to have finished at least 50% of the clinicals (that's me) in a traditional RN program, or be an LPN, paramedic, respiratory therapist, etc (you have to check...

Good vibes are coming your way tomorrow at 1630 sharp. You'll do great! :nuke:

Thanks so much Lunah! I'll be pulling for you too when your date comes around.:nuke:

May 30 - June 1st Albany. I'm spending some quality time with my precious family and flying out first thing in the morning. Yeah!!!:nuke: It's finally here. I'll have some time to relax and get settled in before my test begins on Friday. I'll kee...

I'm rooting for you here. You'll do great!!! I would take Ericenfermo's advice regarding tying up any loose ends and getting some encouragement right before your CPNE. I plan to do the same next week just before my CPNE 5/30-6/1. You can and will ...
