    Sabbath Observing students of Excelsior?

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to anrnshubby's topic in Excelsior College

    I also read that some sites may do weekdays, but never heard of anyone actually doing it. As for Sabbath observance, only you can decide if it is "OK" for you to break the Sabbath. I had to make a...

    I know exactly how you feel, trust me. I finished my FCCA in Oct '12, got my CPNE date at the end of December for Mar 22-25. I ended up rescheduling and paying the $250 fee for it because I was not...

    Motivation needed to get through Excelsior RN program

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to dianneger's topic in Excelsior College

    6 months, no way. You have a minimum of 2 months for the FCCA (if you take both at the same time) and a 2-6 month wait for the CPNE once your done with the FCCA. So your looking at 4-8 months just...

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to Nalon1 RN/EMT-P's topic in Excelsior College

    I will not be happy if it does take that long, but not much I can do I guess. I agree on the SPAC, stupid that their background costs more (even though it is only like $40 different, in the grand cost...
