Hello future RN... I just got through registering for my first (of many) tests that I'll be taking at a Prometric Testing Center... I'm going to take the Microbiology test. I've been a "student" of Excelsior for the past year and a half... and this is my first test. I only registered at Excelsior because California Board of Registered Nurses was moving to no longer accept Regents graduates for licensure in Cali. There are a few options as far as getting through the RN program w/Excelsior. I'm planning on studying independantly for all my classes and then basically challenging the final exam for credit. They do offer some online and CD-ROM classes.. but they look too expensive for me. None of my LVN classes were accepted as prerequisites for the RN Program..... I took A&P at the local JC, and speech too. Good luck, and I hope this helped!
