Did you take the EC practice exam?

I'm nowhere near working on my BSN or MSN but I was just wondering.....if you're going to got to WGU: why not do their RN to MSN program, so you won't duplicate any courses. That way you get your BSN along the way and finish your MSN without the hassle of worrying if the credits will transfer or if your GPA is high enough. Just trying to help =)

I'm not sure that their first RN class has graduated yet, but I did do the LPN program with them and graduated 12/2007. I can't say that I agreed with the way that they delivered the information for us to learn but I can say that when I got my first job as an LPN I was confident that I knew what I was doing and to me that's PRICELESS! I have been in situations "on the job" where I was the only one that knew what to do and had to instruct the "RN". Don't get me wrong I'm not bragging I just feel like the education I got prepared me to do an exceptional job and it was worth every penny. I can't afford to do another expensive program or sit in class again from 8a-2p which is why I did not sign up for their RN program but if I coulda I woulda...lol Right now I'm doing the LPN to RN program at Excelsior College and I love it! Everything I learned at Concorde I'm reviewing with Excelsior, I don't think I would have been able to do Excelsior's program if I did not have my Concorde education. So, I could only imagine how prepared they are making the RN students (Im jealous). EVERYWHERE you go people are going to have an opinion about "whatever" but it is up to you to do the research and make the decision that is RIGHT 4 U!!! If I could do it again I would not have waited so long to go to Concorde but whats done is done and I'm happy with what I got. I hope this helped, you can always PM me if you have other questions.

I'm studying for Health and Safety & Transitions now with the expectations of testing out the first week in Dec or sooner.Those two classes seem to study well together...lol. As for student loan deferments; when I called about mine I was told that I had to be enrolled as a student to qualify. So, call the loan company and find out first hand what your options are.

If I were you I would get started with pre reqs asap. No need to wait since you need them in any case. That way by the time you finish the LPN program all you would have left is the RN classes with excelsior.....hope that makes sense and helps.
