I really need so help/guidance from some other nurses :) I feel lost lately because I really want to get my RN. However, since I am overseas with my husband my options are pretty slim right now. I haveat been thinking hard about Excelsior and I have grants from the military to help pay but today I read about the CPNE where you go for two days to test out for clinical....and a lot of people fail Thats not very encouraging....I also know that Excelsior has places in the states that you cant work in unless you have a year experience...after theat year experience can you work in any state??? I also saw somewhere on this website people talking about Indiania State University...how is that school??? Just trying to have a little hope before I just feel like giving up...thanks for the help!!
