I have recently been contacted by a couple of the programs that offer study guides in prep for Exelsior's program. From what I have gathered from both threads on this website and the Exelsior program itself, I'm thinking that going directly through Exelsior is probably the best way to go. It seems that cutting out the middleman is also more cost-efficient. Good luck!

Hi! I, too am in a similar position. Although I've been an LPN for 20 years and have slowly (I mean slowly) making progress toward an RN degree. Being that I have reached the ceiling in what I can do with my LPN in the state where I live, I've decided that I must finally complete my degree so that I can have some more options available to me in my career. What you need to think about is what you need to do for YOU. Will you regret not going for it 5 or 10 years down the line? Is obtaining that degree VERY important to you? The easier thing is to take the job and reap the immediate benefits, but relaxing now and enjoying life may leave you feeling stifled and underutilized in the future. You may want to consider working and doing distance learning through one of the programs designed for LPN's to get their ADN, which might be a better alternative than attending a program which appears to be in turmoil. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.
