   Most Rn to MSN programs will accept you (a two year RN) into the program if you already hold a BS or BA in another discipline. Some RN to MSN programs have a BSN attainment feature. I already hold a BS in Hlthcare Mgt but I am going to get my BSN any...

3. Help, how to deal with this graduation fee from EC?

   A6fan replied to cuteRn2be's topic in Online Learning

   Pay the fee and get on with your life. You have the NCLEX to pass and taking the time and energy to fight this is poor use of your time. Good luck

6. Clarifying CPNE pass rate...

   A6fan replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Online Learning

   The only thing I can find wrong with your reasoning is that the second try would be populated by 100 (not 36) first time non pass students and the third time try would be populated by 100 (not 23) two time non pass students. Therefore, you can get th...

    A6fan replied to CSLee3's topic in Online Learning

    Yes! This is EXACTLY how you go about this! Download a copy of "The Fair Credit Reporting Act" summary of rights. Follow it to the letter. Have your lawyer draft the reply letter (I had Prepaid Legal at the time) but you can do it yourself. Everythin...

    I am currently testing out with Excelsior and I purchased ALL my materials on Ebay. I almost fell for the TCN B.S. but had the good sense to read this site the day after I signed and immediately cancelled (By phone, certified letter, and email!). I b...

12. A Nursing Career Over 50

    A6fan replied to m9791l's topic in Men

    I'm 50 and just getting started with Excelsior after 20 years in the Army as an 18D and then being "retired" for 7 years. There are many ways to practice nursing - certainly there is a place for older newbies!
