  1. Is anyone using RUE publishing

    deej replied to javanurse2000's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't understand the whole "financing" thing. Excelsior is pay-as-you-go. They don't offer "financing" because you don't need

  2. Communication issues with Distance Prog.

    deej replied to spaniel's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you know or can find any current students in the programs, see if you can get more direct contact information (ie, advisers, professors, etc - not just the secretary in the main office.) I'd be...

  3. Is anyone using RUE publishing

    deej replied to javanurse2000's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I went exclusively with the free EC content guides, the yahoo groups, and the EC-recommended textbooks, saving money on most of them by buying the prior edition. Don't waste your money on RUE (or any...

  4. Looking 4 other Cali students trying to get into ADN or BSN online programs?

    deej replied to can'twait's topic in Online Distance Learning

    UOP is listed because they have a physical presence in California. Also, UOP does not offer an RN program, they only offer RN-BSN/MSN. The only nursing programs listed on BRN's webpage are those...

  6. Excelsior?

    deej replied to charleybarley's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you just want to take one exam from Excelsior, you only have to pay the fee for that exam. You don't have to pay tuition unless you are actively pursuing a degree through

  7. Excelsior?

    deej replied to charleybarley's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Not true. Lots of colleges accept the various Excelsior exams. See this list: https://www.excelsior.edu/portal/page?_pageid=57,83221&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL (Institutions Accepting EC...

  9. Regional or Nationally Accredited?

    deej replied to gerinurse10's topic in Online Distance Learning

    http://www.degreeinfo.com is a site dedicated to all kinds of DL schools, and there you can find more than you ever wanted to know about the details of national and regional accreditation. Like Melody...

  10. does IL recognize deaconess grads?

    deej replied to KSTNLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That's kind of odd, because DCN is owned by Tenet, and Tenet owns hospitals in CA (I don't know about NY.) But it doesn't really surprise me, unfortunately. Of course, if a CA resident was truly...

  11. does IL recognize deaconess grads?

    deej replied to KSTNLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm not sure where the "wow man, dig" comes into play, but in any event... If I could have found a B&M (brick and mortar) RN program that would work around a Kelly schedule (in my case, rotating...

  12. does IL recognize deaconess grads?

    deej replied to KSTNLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yup, you said it... Ok. Deaconess is an NLN-accredited program that has clinical experience concurrent with theory. It is, therefore, acceptable for initial licensure by the California

  14. Starting Excelsior next month

    deej replied to JKohler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did the entire EC program (waiting on CPNE right now) using only the free, downloadable study guides, and used textbooks from half.com. In most cases, the 9th edition of a book is just as useful as...

  15. Excelsior Fee Schedule

    deej replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You only need the portfolio if you are an RN in Excelsior's BSN program. It's in lieu of the CPNE for those students. Excelsior is the best deal going, especially when you take into account the fact...

  20. To workshop or not to workshop

    deej posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi all, Ok, I'm two tests away from being ready for the CPNE, and I am wondering if I need to take a workshop or not. Background: EMT-Basic, almost done with my Paramedic program. (I'll probably be...

  21. To workshop or not to workshop

    deej replied to deej's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Um, yeah, that's why I was thinking of attending a workshop, because I recognize that I'm deficient in those areas. Thanks for the kind words of support,

  23. Sent my application to Excelsior today!!!

    deej replied to Ashera's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ditto on the yahoo groups, they are a great resource. The self-tests for micro and A&P there are great, as well as the Excelsior study guides. You also might want to pick up the Cliff's quick...

  24. Tuition at Excelsior? Anybody know?

    deej replied to Jill1215's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah, their "new and improved" website really sucks. Assuming you are going after an ADN: Nursing concepts tests (need 7) = $205 each Application to nursing program = $65 CPNE = $1575 Initial...

  25. Excelsior Exams?

    deej replied to Steven McCullum's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Just do a search here for Excel Advantage and see for yourself. And do they REALLY provide financial aid? Certainly not for Excelsior's fees. Excelsior does have some loan programs, look on their...
