    Steadfast commitment and headstrong determination. Similar to a traditional program, but what's different is you have to autodidact well. The rate of assimilation I presume can be a little longer...
  7. You can do it! I can't remember who mentioned this, but it's true, you have to focus on 'self study'. People will recommend different things that work for them, but the one thing that the vast amount...

  15. During my shift at the hospital I work at, I was talking to several nurses who know I'm an Excelsior student. This is a unit I very much want to work in when i graduate. To make a long story short,...
  16. I was totally dissed last night

    Thank you, finally. This thread has deviated so far from the initial purpose, that it would not offend me if it was binned all together. I did not intend this to be a Traditional V. NonTraditional...
