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 campu...

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 teac...

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 i...

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 b...

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 l...

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...

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 th...

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...

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 o...

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 ...

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 t...

Its hard for me to answer your question. In my case I haven't found an LPN job yet but I currently got a job as a Mental health tech and it pays well and had a ton of OT, they said once I have my RN they will offer me a position. so unlike your case ...

for me i'm using a prep school called achieve test prep to get me through the excelsior program. they create a classroom type environment and i have to say that is the best way for me. yes its an extra cost but i will do what i need to do to get my R...

true thats why there is a list of state on excelsior website which has their own rules on how a excelsior grad can become licensed. But for some reason these are New because up until around 2006 all of the states didn't have a problem licensing EC gr...

Yes I can say at some point in my lpn program the school owners seem more likely to kick you out then to help you. But I wouldn't let those bad experience get to you. You have experience and will be able to work somewhere else where it's not negative...

Hey a "C" is passing and I'm sure you will do better on the next try. Plus the topics in some of the nursing class were taught to me during my lpn classes. A friend of mines said you just graduated and got your license sign up and start excelsior but...

I had a meeting at achieve test prep here in Philly and loved what they had to offer. They are a prep or tutoring if you would for excelsior. They have a full lab that you can use to practice for the CPNE. You still get the flexibility of excelsior b...

Yeah but the wait list can be three years which depending on when you got your science class done could be a problem

Yeah in Philadelphia Lpns in LTC are making $21-$26 an hour and $26-$30 an hour pool and agency

Yes I am a student at pitc...I would say it is what you make, true things aren't the best. At times you do feel like your on your own but that is where you pull other student with you and start a study group. My class has the highest student ratio an...
