  5. Anyone in Florida doing Excelsior College?

  20. Anyone currently in the Excelsior bridge program?

    Hey just a note... Excelsior created some new bundle plan or something like that for the LPN to RN program. If you are someone who could finish the program in a year or less... it would cost you 3500...
