Nonsense. I got my RN through Excelsior and thought it was a great experience. It isn't easy, and I've seen a lot of people blame that school for their own failures. I'm now a critical care NP doing more advanced procedures than most of the physi...

Hi all. I just passed the CPNE this past weekend with no repeats. I've been browsing/apart of this website since I was in LPN school six years ago. First I would like to say do not believe all the horror stories you read around the internet. A lo...

I am starting the fall too. I am taking one nursing course at a time and an extra class.

When my son's mother applied for Wright States's Acute FNP program she had a science GPA 3.3 and she said in her interview all they talked about was how bad her science GPA was. Which was weird because they had her transcripts before allowing her to ...

A word of caution for WGU. My friend goes there and you the way they classify their classes, you can't get higher than a 3.0 on your GPA with classes there. So if you plan to go past BSN, just know this.

It seems like I am in a very similar situation. I have already applied and I am just awaiting my transcript eval. I'll update you when I get it.

Quizlet and cram.com are nice, but I still like making flash cards. Writing the material out helps you remember, and I think once the flash cards are made you can cycle through them faster than you can with the online programs. You can also filter ...

I hate it when my coworkers act like it is ridiculous that they be expected to come in during bad weather. People still need to be taken care of. I do think it is shady to deny you PTO though.

I didn't credit by examination. Look on the excelsior website. They have pdfs with costs and required credits. I paid 2300

Utica and the staff was great. I felt very welcomed immediately. You'll hear horror stories everywhere, just study and focus. Ignore the stories.

You pick a region.

Mine was 10 months

an online class that is 2 months long. You have to have all 8 nursing exams finished before you csn tske it. You have to pass it before you take cpne

About 22 months, but I waited 10 months for the cpne, missed applying for fcaa by a week, so i waited 2 months for that. I also spent way too much time on the first 3 exams.

I passed at Utica too

MA is a waste and is a dying field. Awful pay, crappy employment prospects, more places are hiring LPNs.because states are.becoming more strict and want lisenced personal. I worked as an LPN in a doctors office and made more money than MA. Every MA w...

Sheri Taylor's ATL Clinical Workshop | Onsite and Online CPNE Workshop is what I used and it was great. Ill tell ya know, the wait is LONG so do burn out on studying.

Last I heard it is 54% pass rate for 1st timers. My weekend 4 out of 6 passed. We all used Sheri Taylor's program.

I just finished the program and it worked well for me. My chances of becoming an RN without this program were pretty slim. There are plenty of people who do this program, it is just that those who fail are more vocal on the internet.

You played a part in my going through with it. When I very first started looking around 6 years ago at Excelsior there were a lot of horror stories with the CPNE. Your posts helped me think it was doable, and now I know it is. My only regret is not s...

I'd like to tell you a little bit about my experience with this program. It was my intention to start this program immediately after finishing LPN school, I even flirted with the idea of not quitting my STNA job I loved and waiting until I finished ...

I had a fair amount of college completed prior to this, but my science classes were too old, so i retook AP and Micro with excelsior. I cleped sociology. For all the theory classes i used sg101 and the practice exams which was enough. For the CPNE ...

I applied last March and tested this past weekend.

I get told weekly from people that they lied about being suicidal just so they could detox there.

Just because they require them, doesn't mean they will hold them against you.
