  1. RN to BSN

    New Castle Ken replied to JEP's topic in Colorado Nursing

    There are many, many, many online RN/BSN programs now available. When I did the research for my book I found over 15 and since then there has been many new editions. Many advertise in nursing...

  2. I just signed up but have a question (excelsior)

    New Castle Ken replied to Jill_LPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Accredited colleges will only accept official transcripts sent directly from the registrar. Sometimes a school will ask for a student copy with initial application but in all cases an official is...

  3. online college advice

    New Castle Ken replied to fourblessings's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There are now many RN/BSN/MSN online programs. The best depends on your particular needs and goals. I am not sure what you mean about MN not accepting U of P. If you already have your RN from your...

  4. UOP Prerequ's

    New Castle Ken replied to NurseKimberley's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can take summer courses elsewhere online in classes that U of P will require, especially electives. You can also think about, sign up for, and study for proficiency exams like CLEP. Be sure to see...

  5. Need Advice from Unionized Nurses

    New Castle Ken replied to TechieNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ask your union rep on the "QT" and ask them not to pursue anything untill you specifically ask them to. They should be able to give you an

  6. UOP Prerequ's

    New Castle Ken replied to NurseKimberley's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congratulations Kimmer. When I answered your other post I wondered about the LPN thing. Again congratulations and good

  7. The BEST RN-BSN Online Program????

    New Castle Ken replied to NurseKimberley's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Kimmy, As for online RN/BSN there are many, many choices now. The important thing is to find the program that suite your individual needs. No program is best for everyone. For instance if your...

  8. Rue Ed

    New Castle Ken replied to HisTreasure's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Many students feel the study materials and suggestions given by Excelsior (which are free) are all they need. All the services like Rue are expensive and do not have any connection with Excelsior so...

  9. Question from a Respiratory Therapist

    New Castle Ken replied to petrosian's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Correct, you do not do clinicals as is customary in on campus programs. You must pass the clinical exams though, which are in person. My personal opinion is that if you are interested in nursing that...

  10. Distance learning LVN to RN

    New Castle Ken replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Check with your state's board of nursing. They will tell you if they will accept the degree for your basic RN to sit for license boards. Some states do not accept Excelsior College for the basic RN...

  11. Lpn - 2 - Rn

    New Castle Ken replied to Cqc_Cqb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    These are the only 2 that I know about that are by distance. Sometimes local colleges have special programs for LPNs or give a good amount of

  12. Deaconess Students

    New Castle Ken replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congratulations. Just a followup about the legal ramifications. If a student has a problem during clinical and a patient sues; someone must be responsible. If a local college has student nurses there,...

  13. Excelsior a good fit for a former ASN?

    New Castle Ken replied to eparchment's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You are a good candidate. A supervisor of mine got kicked out of the local community college due to a conflict with an instructor. He completed his AS and RN through Excelsior and turned out to be a...

  14. Dr. Frye? Chancellor? Excel Advantage?

    New Castle Ken replied to TrinaRoschelle's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Some students like the materials published by outside sources but a lot of students feel that the information that Excelsior gives is all that is needed and comes free. These other companies do not...

  15. Deaconess Students

    New Castle Ken replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I assume the hospital would be taking full responsibility for the student's actions, rather than the instructor and the school. Also students would have to rely on the hospital staff to teach them...

  16. Deaconess Students

    New Castle Ken replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't know about the changes but I have read in a posting a few weeks ago that a student was having trouble finding a clinical site. She was able to use the facilities that DCN was associated with...

  17. Acceptance Letter

    New Castle Ken replied to exnavygirl-RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congratulations Christy and good

  18. Air Force Made Me MAD!!!

    New Castle Ken replied to TrinaRoschelle's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This sounds a little bit over the limit. If you have not actually signed enlistment papers, I would rethink what you will be in for. You would probably be better finishing LPN school first as then you...

  19. Graceland College

    New Castle Ken replied to Baby Catcher's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The last time I checked while doing research for my book, they were regionally accredited by North Central Association and also nursing accredited by the NLN. This means they are respectable. Also...

  20. Clinicals for Excelsior??

    New Castle Ken replied to DeLynn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It is not necessarily in place of clinical, because it is much less time. It is a test of clinical skills that you already have from prior

    New Castle Ken replied to ambitiouslpn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    What does "What does this mean" mean? :wink2: Most online RN programs are degree completion programs for RNs. There are very few that accept LPNs. Thomas Edison State College has a similar program...
