  1. BSu nursing student-to-be with questions

    Lilia... That is a pretty broad brush you used to describe all of the graduates coming out of a program. There will always be students who fail to impress but they cant be described as representative of every classmate. I have inadequate students in...
  2. EMS expierence and CRNA school

    I think most admission committees appreciate unique experience and education that some applicants have. It sets them apart. There are other paramedics in my program as well as NP's, and RT's. It wont be the thing that gets you in the program but it h...
  3. hello, i'm a first semester nursing student.

    While some may disagree with this logic, now that you are in nursing school and as you transition to your first RN position, my advice is to keep your ambitions to yourself. There is alot of animosity out there towards those who know exactly what the...
  4. word of encouragement for EC students/future RNs

    There are still alot of people out there who have a hard time understanding, not to mention accepting EC. The advice I can give is dont let people out there undermine what you have worked hard for so long. When I was interviewing for my Masters progr...
  5. slower pace CRNA program?

    Well said.
  6. EC grad, took NCLEX yesterday

    It must be inconceivable to the various BON's that an Excelsior Graduate can pass the NCLEX with the minimum number of questions. Congratulations.
  7. Is an Online school accepted for an RN in utah?

    There is no reason that an individual couldn't become a successful RN by attending Excelsior College. A negative experience with a graduate of any program should not be used to characterize all that have or may choose to attend EC in the future. Any ...
  8. Life after Excelsior

    I had just the opposite experience. When I talked to two different, large universities they said they required the ASN to come from a accredited instituion which it does and secondly, was to have an unencumbered RN license. I had a BSN 4 semesters l...
  9. Just a personal observation, it seems that EC grads are more common in certain areas of the country than others. For instance, when I finished EC I moved into the ED where there were several EC grads and the nurse manager had no hesitation in hiring ...
  10. On my way...

    Actually, some places will interview you if you are in the process of completing your BSN. I do know of a couple of individuals who letter of acceptance came with the condition that their BSN would be completed before the program started. So it is po...
  11. A list of states that do not except EC

    Thank you Elkpark. This was exactly the answer I was seeking. I also appreciate your answer without condescension. The reason for the original question was simply intrigue. I did not ask it hoping someone would give me direction as if it applied to m...
  12. Hi guys. I have a question. I am well aware of the ongoing tension between Excelsior College and the California Board of Nursing. I am also aware of the deadline the BON provided for grandfathering EC grads. My question is this. Are there any CA RN's...
  13. A list of states that do not except EC

    Unnecessary.I am not asking for an answer that could encompass every unique and individual variable. I am intrigued as to if there was an EC grad who completed a BSN a more traditional way and continued to have issues with the CA BON? I only used my ...
  14. A list of states that do not except EC

    I have had my share of difficulties with individual Boards of Nursing regarding EC licensure, also. In this case, I am completely comfortable with "heresay". I was only curious if someone whos associates degree nursing foundation was EC would have di...
  15. A list of states that do not except EC

    Eric.... Is this to say that if I had not have finished EC prior the December 2003 deadline then I would not have been able to practice either as an RN since completing a BSN from a "brick and mortar" school or as an APN when I finish anesthesia scho...
