Hello, I have been an LPN for 17 years and I will complete my Bachelors degree Health care Administration in March 2013. I want to know if there are any other LPN's out there who have taken this route or a similar route and what was your experience. I have worked on the RN route for many years without any success so I decided maybe that is not for me and decided to move on. I may give it a try again later in life. Thanks

Hello, those are 2 seperate exams. you are allowed to take health/safety and transitions before enrolling to excelsior. u would need to be enrolled in excelsior before taking heath differences. I think that CD that you have must have been a bundle type where you get 2 test for the price of 1 or something like that. Linda
