helenahandbasket: Why are you putting yourself thru this much stress. Just go thru Excelsior college --study at home--and you can be done in a year or so---some classes on line and others at a testing site. Week0end clinical at the end. You are motivated and all your credits from 17 years ago STILL transfer to EXcelsior. just go to Excelsior college.edu and check it out---Linda
