the exams, when I took them, were at any testing center (pearson vue), and were multiple choice. the number varied but I think they were all 100+. I used studygroup101 and studied non stop. Study Guides

chances are everything I knew about excelsior has either changed or I've forgotten.

exam. whatever my library had. one was cliffs notes micro, don't remember the other.

I used studygroup101, the excelsior practice exams and a couple library books.

from what I'm reading, the school has nothing to do with it as long as you can get certified. http://www.floridasnursing.gov/licensing/advanced-registered-nurse-practitioner/ For Certification as a Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner, the requirements are as follows and can be found in Section 464.012, F.S. Hold a valid Registered Nurse License in the State of Florida Education Requirements: (a) Applicants who graduated on or after October 1, 1998, must have completed requirements for a master's degree or post-master's degree certification. (b) Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist applicants who graduated on or after October 1, 2001, must have completed requirements for a master's degree program. © Applicants who graduated prior to the applicable date are exempt from this requirement. (d) Graduates from either a certificate or currently closed program should submit supporting documentation that demonstrates program compliance with Board guidelines. [*]After July 1, 2006, applicants for certification as an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner pursuant to section 464.012(1), F.S., shall submit proof of national advanced practice certification from an approved nursing specialty board. [*]Proof of malpractice insurance or exemption.

I know about 8 people who signed up with them and they all regret it. including the guy who gets it free because he got so many people to sign up. if you want it that bad just buy the binders off ebay. the only benefit I can think of to it is the remote proctor. but the cost is so high I can't imagine it's worth it unless you have to fly to a testing center.

I used the powerpoints from sg101, the excelsior practice exams and a couple books from my library. I basically studied the powerpoints from sg101 and practice exams and used the books to clear up parts I didn't understand.

based on what I see, you should get your light ready for pelvic exams, your hands ready for sutures, and your prescription pad filled out for zofran.

I don't recommend it due to the cpne.

sorry, some people refer to uni of san fran as usf. I was just curious as I am applying to the acnp program at usf tampa.

which USF?

I'm not sure what you mean about valencia or ucf. it's an a.s. in nursing from a regionally accredited college. the cpne is impossible unless you have examiners who don't know the study guide as well as they should and are willing to help to a certain extent. that's my opinion based on my experience.

I'm not in south florida, but neither is orlando so I guess I will answer. the tampa/lakeland area has openings as long as you have experience. otherwise there's not much. the few offers/interviews I received were for full-time positions. I was looking for part-time. I did get one but it was networking more than anything. no one asked about excelsior and I know several people in the area who did the excelsior thing.

keep in mind that the classes are the least of your worries. the cpne monster at the end is what makes excelsior a bad choice imo.
