   Heavenly4505 replied to rechell1215's topic in General Nursing

    Heavenly4505 replied to tommys girl's topic in Excelsior College

    Hmmmm that doesn't show up on mine. Maybe because I'm not actually "enrolled" as a student? I created a log-in so that I could take the first test without enrolling, which Excelsior allows you to
