  5. Are all Excelsior Grads "Super Smart" ?

    StrawberryBanana replied to dbarnes2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Am I completely crazy to be giving up a brick and mortar school for Excelsior College? I don't feel like I fit the full-time working Mom mold, etc. I will not be working during this program, and I do...

    StrawberryBanana replied to Matthew700's topic in California Nursing

    That's the trend? They just added 2 more states to their lists that accept Excelsior College grads without any problems. All 48 states, with the exception of those 2, accept Excelsior College...

    StrawberryBanana replied to ToddEMTP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thank You! :) Well, I'm not worried about memorizing. Luckily for me, I have that as a strength. Plus, I'm EXTREMELY visual. That has always been easy for me. What makes me nervous is the fact that I...

    StrawberryBanana replied to ToddEMTP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am TERRIFIED about the CPNE. I do not have ANY previous experience. I will literally be a NEW graduate from an LPN program. I'm wondering how in the world I will pass this. I have never worked as an...

  10. How long did Excelsior take you start to finish?

    StrawberryBanana replied to zmealey's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That is of help! :) Thanks a lot. Well, I guess I'll purchase the books then. I cannot believe that they are only $5-10, including shipping. That's nothing! So you would definitely say that you are...

  12. Excelsior Nurses Deserve Universal Acceptance

    StrawberryBanana replied to ToddEMTP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I completely agree carolinapooh. In my eyes, this program can only be passed by those who are exceptionally driven and academically sharp, as you do not have someone holding your hand through the...

    StrawberryBanana replied to Matthew700's topic in California Nursing

    I have heard that California & Maryland are now the ONLY states unwilling to accept EC for licensure. I had the pleasure of speaking to EC and they informed me of this. However, I was also...

    StrawberryBanana replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh yeah definitely! It's very common, actually. Good Luck. If, at any time, you feel it's too much, just cut back your hours!

  19. US jobs for foreign nurses living in the US

    StrawberryBanana replied to bettyboop22's topic in International Nursing

    Hi BettyBoop. I'm sorry to be a bubble burster, but your chances do not look very good. The USA has a poor job economy right now. I know nurses with years of experience, who graduated from prestigious...

  20. How long did Excelsior take you start to finish?

    StrawberryBanana replied to zmealey's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Do you feel that 32 days was adequate studying time for the CPNE? Did you pass the first time? Did you attend workshops or was this all on your own? Congratulations

  21. Is working part time do-able with these classes?

    StrawberryBanana replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, although I would suggest against it if science is very hard for you. Biology was easy for me. That's the only class, that I see on there, that would be any cause of reconsideration. Just think...

    StrawberryBanana replied to zmealey's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wow, that's awesome you guys. Did most of you work while attending? I have heard of people finishing in 6 months...and they don't even necessarily have tons of credits going in. Is that realistic? Do...
