Community College, Aria health, Drexel just to name a few. You live in the PA area? I just finished my 8th chapter of lifespan dev. and dont really want to go thru all the stress of it if i know in the long run my credits are no good. Even if i get my bachelors thru excelsior. I spoke to an advisor and i know they say its accredited but each college/university is different. Which programs did you apply for that accepted your credits? You didnt get your BSN thru excelsior? And yes i didnt find that out about tcn until after i signed up and by the time i knew it it was too late.

Just beginning TCN then to Excelsior Philadelphia PA As i furthered my research into my courses I found out that the 6 main schools i contacted dont accept my future degree thru excelsior. If thats the case i would have never signed up for TCN thru Excelsior. Im so confused as to what to do. Im not sure if i should chalk up my money and start fresh into a local school program or finish my courses thru excelsior, hoping that one day i can find a bsn program that will accept my credits. I am scheduled to take Lifespan developmental in the beginning of febuary but im so upset i cant even focus. Has anyone else had a hard time getting into a bsn program with your excelsior credits? Although Excelsior says they can be transferred, im not putting my faith in them right now. I feel like it would be pointless to continue the program if i can only be an rn:banghead: Is there any light at the end of this tunnel? Are their nurses that have succefully completed the program and went for their BSn at a local school? My ultimate goal is to be a CRNA. I already know the requirements but a part of me feels like because its online schooling, its gonna come back to bite me in the butt

I actually had to look up FCCA. Didnt know what it was til now. Thank U. I feel like i really should have took my time when signing up w/ tcn so i can get a better understanding of what i needed or went straight thru w/ excelsior

Thanks for the info I spoke with excelsior this morning. An adviser is suppose to call me monday to help me get a better understanding and the breakdown of my courses

Nooo dont say that! Its suppose to be a preparation for clinical. To help get you prepared. And it has different scenerios in it. Not sure if theres suppose to be an exam on it because theres no practice exam on tcn:confused:

I am finally taking my courses that i put on hold for so long! I have all these classes I was told i had to take almost 4 yrs ago. ANd life just got in the way. I am looking over everything and its just too much. I have so many courses. Is there any way I can drop some of them? Epatient? If im taking lifespan dev., sociology is mandatory as well? And microbiology, natural science and a&p are required? I just dont see the point of natural science. And i feel like they want me to take these extra classes just so they can take my money. Im so frustrated and confused:banghead: and dont know where to begin. And when i call college network and excelsior i feel like they just tell me what i want to hear and are leaving out alot of info. This is my list of courses i have to take. Did anyone have to take this many classes? And how did you handle it and manage? And i know it depends or prereqs too but gosh!
