  6. Excelsior Exams - Do Not Pass!

    If you don't pass a test you can retake it but you must wait 45 days before you can reschedule. If you fail a second time you have to wait even longer, I THINK 90 days but read the student handbook for your program, its in there. Pearsonvue centers w...

  10. Has anyone done the WGU online RN to BSN program?

    If you can devote 20-30 hrs per week, it can be done. WGU does not have courses, they are competency assessments based on units not credits. 2 of my 23 units are an introductory assessment that all students must take and I've been told that it can be...
  11. Has anyone done the WGU online RN to BSN program?

    Hi Caid, I was suppose to start 11/1 but due to changes in my financial aid & their scholarship I applied for, I will start 12/1 also. I just changed it today. I have 98 pre-req so I have 23 units including EWB which I think you can complete in a...
  12. WGU: Western Governer's University

    I have applied there & will be starting 11/1 if I don't change my mind. I applied to 5 schools including EC where I just graduated. WGU met all my criteria, accredited, great price (3250 for six months), transfer credits accepted, great custome...
  13. Excelsior Nursing Program?

    Amanda, IMO EC's practice exams are worth their weight in gold. You get 2 exams with 100 questions each. The enrollment fee does not have to be pd right away, your allowed to take gen req as well as two nursing courses (health safety and transition)...
  14. Morristown Hospital and Overlook Hospital in the Atlantic Health Systems also have an iv cert course, I believe its 2 days & also $300.

  19. Its normally sooner than later and they quote those time frames to have a cushion, & for me & others I know, it took three weeks. Welcome & good luck with your studies!
  20. A couple of CPNE questions

    EC sells a cpne skills kit, you can order it online thru them, and they give you the web address of the distributor & you can order thru them as well. I got my supplies from work & got the wound off ebay
  21. A couple of CPNE questions

    Utilize the EC EPN board, if you haven't already. I found it invaluable finding answers & getting questions answered plus its monitored by faculty(Civita) who is also the CA at Utica. We also have a cpne forum on facebook search cpne conquering t...

  25. Excelsior - TAKING TOO LONG :(

    Mine also took approx 3 wks & transcripts from 2 different schools. Maybe there was a delay in the school sending out your transcript or maybe it got lost in the mail, stuff happens, followup with the sending school(s) first. good luck!
