I am currently taking A&P II with lab. You must have enrolled before excelsior came out with the "policy alert" that JustBeachyNurse alluded to in order to get approval. Also, approval is granted for a six month period. So, be sure that it is lis...

This may have been asked but are there older students in the program. Say, in their 50's?

I have contacted excelsior regarding this policy and it only affects you if you enrolled in excelsior after Oct. 1, 2012.

Wow, how did you complete the course in two weeks?

Go to the exam center, go to specific topic quiz and once the quiz pops up tap on the smaller font quiz heading just below the larger one above it. Ex. Topic 4 quiz. Tap on the same heading just below it but in a smaller font....hope that was not c...

Has anyone taken microbiology and pharmacology at the same time while working full time?

Just took information literacy. I took about a week to complete it. It can be done in a shorter time period and as it has been stated it is open book. Highly recommend Penn Foster. Very cost effective.

Great two hear. I just completed info. Lit. I was going through straighterlines website, I will be starting A&P 1, when I came across your post. Did you buy a specific kit or did you have to piece it together?

Will the classes that are not yet offered on the nursing pathway prerequisites (ie. microbiology, microbiology w/lab, and Biochemistry) be offered by SL? And if so, is there a time line?

Still trying to decide if I should continue on with excelsior. Any paramedics currently attending excelsior or who have graduated without in hospital experience? If you graduated and are working in a hospital now, how difficult was it to make the t...

Thanks Robin, your story is inspirational! You have given me more confidence that this program is very doable. Thanks again and good luck on the nclex I know you will do great...to be continued.

Inspiring journal. Congratulations!!! Could you tell me a little about your background? I am new to this site but have been lurking:lol2: and undecided about pursuing excelsior.

Finally:lol2:I will do so as soon as I hit my 15 posts. I am at 13 now, new to the site but have been viewing for some time trying to decide if this is the route for me considering my background with no in-hospital experience. Your the first to resp...

So, what are your thoughts concerning those paramedics that do not have in-hospital experience?

Hello, I can't answer your question but I noticed you are a paramedic. I am also a paramedic trying to find those with a similar background as mine to see if excelsior is worth it. Can you give us some of your background and why you chose excelsior...

Did you find the transition to the ED difficult with no in-hospital experience? I am also a FF/paramedic with 21 years of experiencing trying to decide if I should continue with excelsior. I have been searching this site for some time trying to fin...

Good job Rob, again how close are you to the cpne?

Romstead, congrats:yeah: How close are you to the cpne? As for me I'm still undecided. I got your PM and will contact you if I go down this road.

Are you referring to the mystudygroup101 site study guides?

Appreciate that, I'll get in touch with them.

Romstead, appreciate the info. I am not yet enrolled but at the applied, prelim. Evaluation stage. Do you have to be enrolled, you think, to receive approval?

Romstead, have you finished this course and does excelsior accept it as a letter grade or pass/fail? Do you have to have preapproval from excelsior before taking the class? Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have been reading a lot of your posts with keen interest. I am a veteran paramedic (20+ years) 51 years old. I am currently working for a fire dept in the state of Texas. I initially started working for an ems system for the sam...

Could you let us know what you find out from the Texas BON. Good luck with your decision. It appears I am coming closer to a decision about continuing on with excelsior due to all the great and positive threads on this site as well as the persevera...

Congrats.:yeah:..I am paramedic trying to decide whether I should continue with excelsior and your story is very encouraging. Again way to go and continue to persevere. Can't wait to read your journal.:up:
