NsgStudents

Hello, I am a current Excelsior College student (all exams and FCCA completed) preparing for CPNE. My problem is that due to my husband's job, our family has relocated to California which no longer accepts EC graduates due to lack of clinical hours ...

You can go back 2editions in the books in an effort to save money on books. I bought the older edition of the books needed and it worked for me throughout the program. The Excelsior advisors have stated not to purchase more than 2 editions back. A...

rshenry, Congrats on your new ER RN position in Nevada. I am curious to know about your WGU progress. After reading a post from you that stated you transferred from EC to WGU, I began looking into the school's nursing programs. It appears it may ...

Thanks Glenna

Prettyplay24, In GA you have two options when getting your degree through Excelsior: 1) Complete the program, apply for RN licensure through GA you will told that you have to work 960 or 980hrs with a preceptor before you can take the NCLEX-RN. Once...

NatNat, Thanks for the feedback, good to know

aaprimetime, That is awesome. I am waiting on my CPNE date and I am hoping I beecome an RN by the end of the year. What steps did you take after finishing & passing your CPNE? Did you have to wait to be conferred for graduation or had to wait ...

You are right, everyone will be different. My friend and I met through EC after our 3rd exam, we were part of a study group then when the group broke up we continued studying together, we completed the rest of the theory exams & FCCA together, s...

Natnat122, Have you found the vango notes to be helpful for LS3? (just curious) I wish I thought of them when I was doing my theory exams, it would have been nice to have an audible resources.

Thank you all for your responses. It appears that my only option to working in CA as an RN, would be to hold my RN licensure in another state and try to find a position with the VA until either CA BON changes their decision about Excelsior students...

Download Audio Books with Audible.com Online Digital Audio Book Store then do a search for vango notes for nursing and it will list what ever they have. Good luck

LunahRN Thanks for responding. I am in Southern California and I think the closest locations would be Nevada (I am told we are about 3-4hrs from Las Vegas) and Arizona. However, they are not close enough where I could drive to those states to work e...

Well I guess my question should be..... has anybody done the Endorsement, because I am being told that Endorsement will not cut it in California because the BON still require you to meet the educational requirements of becoming an RN (which they don...

LunahRN, Disregard my previous question. I found the answer, it was an oversite on my part. I was able to read the court issued decision as to why California doesn't accept EC students. I listed the links below for other California EC students. B...

LunahRN, This may be a silly question or a misunderstanding on my part but....I am a current EC student, preparing for my CPNE. I noticed many people mention (and it is listed on EC page) that CA doesn't accept EC education. However, after contact...

I agree with the other post. Here is my thoughts: Health & Safety was pretty easy because it was a lot of the fundamentals of nursing. Then Repro - the content guide gives way more information than needed for the actual exam so it made the exam ...

JustBeachyNurse is correct. I was allowed to transfer my Info Lit from Penn Foster to Excelsior College (EC) but they are no longer accepting Penn Foster as a transfer from students. I think it's because so many students was doing it in order to sa...

julesrn10, to make sure i understood correctly..... you were a student of excelsior college (ec) and needed the information literacy course...instead of taking this course at ec you took it at penn foster? did you have to go through the admission por...

Sorry to hear about what your school is doing to you. We had the same situation at my school. They did that to weed people out, but this semester we were given the codes. I scored really low the first time I took it then after receiving advice fro...
