So smart

They were suppose to have a night class which I would have considered doing but so far nothing as of yet I will check and see if they have one possibly starting when I went there they had plans to start on I think this January 2015. The Florida campus has nights so I'm not sure why the jersey campus doesn't.

When I hear things like this I'm so glade I didn't stay because for all the money they were charging I did feel that sometimes they were lacking in teaching not all the teachers but also hearing from classes that were ahead of me how some of the teachers would lecture about things all day and nothing about it had to do with the upcoming exams. Also I really didn't like how in some classes they would do the content review after the exams. What I mean is if the exam was on chapter 1-3 you would read those chapters on your own have the exam and then the teacher would lecture on those chapters and go over the exam to see what you got right or wrong.

The price had me a little but not being able to work and the travel was like 45-50 minutes one way plus a dollar toll every day on the way home. Besides those I would have stayed I guess I wasn't fully ready to attend when I did. Overall I will say it's a good school I have 3 friends who are still there and they are doing well.

I went there for a month and while the school looks nice I felt it was over priced for an AS degree the course has gone up I'm hearing it's about $33k now. I decide to stay with excelsior college as there overall tuition with clinical wouldn't even be half of what this school was charging.

So clinicals are 3 weeks long 4 times a year. I would probably go to Florida and rent a place for just one month as long as the price range rant to high. WGU has a really good tuition for BSN. I will request a brochure

Can I do the pre-licensure if I live in Philadelphia. I was just wondering

Hello I still haven't found steady work as an lpn but work in psych as a tech, my bosses said they will offer me a job once I get my RN since they no longer hire lpn for nursing position. Looks like it's fate that I don't ever work as a lpn and the lpn was only a stepping stone to getting my RN. I now mind you I graduated lpn school in march of 2012 and only time to time got a gig here and there in home care but nothing steady since they don't have to much work for male nurses. I wanted to work for davita but they too seem to only hire RN here in PA. Not worried I'm going to work hard at EC and then hit up Sheri Taylor work shop when I'm ready for cpne

Each state has their own rules you can call the board of nursing in your state to see what their requirement is for licensing. P.s I decide not to use achieve prep as the extra cost was to much. I'm using studygroup101 and loving their material.

Those 8 weeks course follow the tuition of the undergrad wow that's like 425 per credit. I rather use studygroup101 materials and test out true you get financial aide but the overall cost jumps up like crazy for the same course. Test out is $325 plus $75 for the practice exams. And you can be ready in 3-4 weeks studying on your own, but to each their own. I prefer to test out.

just to update had my orientation and I have to say they told us from the start that its going to be a hard program so i am ready and i already made changes to work so school won't be effected. Have you visited the school and will you be attending the next class.

hello i am currently will be attending the November class and from what i hear it is a good school to attend. 30k to become a nurse and work in my dream job is worth it to me so i say take a tour of the school and get a feel for it, that's what i did and have to say once i was told i got in all i want to do now is finish and graduate nothing but god is before my education. what price would you put on your education.

Ok I wanted to put my two sense. Most teachers don't look away they do change it up, but the material must be available to the student that is policy. When I was in lpn school my library had previous books which I read from and guess what boom some of the material was from those books. Using a test bank is not an easy A it's additional material to use and study. But if you save it on a cell phone or in a hat or your shoes then thats cheating if your using it to match what you've been reading then that's different to each their own. But also that's why schools have exit exams if you get through the classes cheating then there's no way you should get through the exit exams.

I'm in the same boat as you. I started EC 6 months after graduation I haven't worked as a Lpn since no one is giving me a chance I've applied almost every where. But I'm prepared not to work as a Lpn while I get my RN and I had plan to use a program at achieve prep but decide not to. Since it would add on to my cost. Will be looking into Sheri's course once I get to CPNE

What do you mean by real RN school. Excelsior is located in Albany New York and its one of the few schools that is NLN certified. They have been open for over 30yrs and in 2012 Nclex they sent 2100 students to Nclex with over 1600 passing the first time which gave them an 86 percent average. Now the states that require a few more steps to attain licensure can't explain why excelsior students are passing the same exams that traditional nursing students are also taking.
