I am so totally jazzed about this thread! First, even though I may be somewhat late, I want to extend my condolences to Mona on losing her brother. My prayers are with you and your family. I need to work, and am relocating in less than 6 months from California to the Forth Worth area so this gives me hope that i don't have to put my dreams on the back burner. I would like some clarification though regarding Excelsior. I found their website a rew days ago and thought they had an ADN program. But from some of the posts I've seen they want people who already have a medical background. I have a non-nursing degree but need about 4 pre-reqs before applying to a nursing program. I would love to pursue a MSN for people with non-nursing degrees, but need something on line. Any suggestions, information would be greatly appreciated. I'm determined.
