    kimlpn replied to lmr's topic in Online Distance Learning

  5. California Excelsior Change?

    kimlpn replied to Sheri257's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think this just means that if one goes through excelsior they can't endorse in unless their program meets cali's education requirement--which EC still currently does not. Unless one enrolled with...

    kimlpn replied to montanatina's topic in Online Distance Learning

    kimlpn replied to featherzRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

  13. SBSUN Excelsior Article

    kimlpn replied to featherzRN's topic in Online Distance Learning
