  1. RN To BSN :)

    MedicFireRN replied to MedicFireRN's topic in Excelsior College

    MedicFireRN replied to MedicFireRN's topic in Excelsior College

    I believe in a competency based program, when they convert your GPA they just give you a 3.0 (B) average as long as you passed the

  3. BON Investigating Excelsior College

    MedicFireRN replied to cleogeorgie's topic in Excelsior College

    You've gotten some good input from JustBeachyNurse and Molemedic, I will just add this: Even if TX puts additional stipulations on EC grads (such as only licensing them by endorsement w/ a certain...

  4. RN To BSN :)

    MedicFireRN replied to MedicFireRN's topic in Excelsior College

    oh and about Capella, I think they do the proficiency grading scale that WGU does where the highest grade you can earn is a B. I don't want to do that. Not sure where the future may take me so I want...

    MedicFireRN replied to MedicFireRN's topic in Excelsior College

  6. EC to UTA?

    MedicFireRN replied to ypoe's topic in Excelsior College

    TiffyRN, that is still the case. I'm in no hurry and since EC's program is excellent, I decided to stay. I'm paying for it either way, I'd rather get my money's worth in education I just started...

    MedicFireRN replied to ypoe's topic in Excelsior College

    MedicFireRN replied to MedicFireRN's topic in Online Distance Learning
