BOSS man

First and foremost Wake Tech does not have a waiting list! They actually use a point system, which I shall explain to you. The most points you can get is 270! You get points for the following classes: Bio 168: A&P 1 Bio 169: A&P 2 Bio 175: ...

How closely are your 12 hour shifts usually? Do people usually do 3 straight 12s and call it a week? I'm planning to be a new RN in the future and trying to figure out how my life working nights may be, as far as sleep, family, social life.

Does it matter as long as you have your license? Any branch that would automatically DQ me for a school of choice like this?

I know nursing classes rarely transfer schools, that's not what I'm worried about... I plan to after finishing my lpn school get my adn and bsn through excelsior, going on to get my CRNA. To be safe what pre reqs do you think are mandatory to take at...

They updated their website I think, but from the looks of it California is the only state that won't accept you at all unless you graduated before 2003 I believe. Note* I have never contacted the school and never went but this what I can tell from t...

Still young. Currently at ecpi lpn program but no classes I'm taking I think will transfer and I really hate working and going to school in person. When im done with the LPN program, I plan to work full time all the way through bsn and getting experi...

My payments will be around $600/month, for 10 years, if I choose the route I'm taking. I'm in NC where starting pay is usually around $24. If I happen to have at least one kid in the future, do you think it would be considerable hard to pay off this ...

How quickly can you really finish the lpn to adn program? I see some people posting around a year maybe less.. Is the year including the wait time for clinicals at the end?

Did you take the GenEd credits there too?

Does anyone have a list of Excelsior "friendly" grad programs (NP & CRNA), that acknowledge the Excelsior BSN for admissions?

So do you guys think that I should do the Excelsior BSN/MSN or a regular 4 year if I choose to go the CRNA route in the future?

TYVM Nurse and Lunah!

Can't edit my last post on app. So basically the only two states with no way in for excelsior grads is CA and IL, unless you work for the VA or federal system, correct?

Well that sucks.

With this program, is it true you can just take all the exams without enrolling in the courses? Does your transcript look different either way? Also has anyone got their GenEd credits to transfer from excelsior (I'm pretty sure the math and sciences ...

This is only if you don't get required work hours in another state correct? Ex: If I graduated from EC and worked full time for one year in NC then moved to CA with atleast 1800 hours (just an example to surpass CA reqs for endorsement), should I ha...

If I decided to proceed to med school I would enroll in a 4 year for the pre reqs, especially the sciences... or do you think just by getting the online degree its a long shot?

Has anyone had any experience or knowledge with coming from Excelsior (or any accredited online program) and getting into top MBA program (or atleast a good known school)? Same thing for med schools? Also I know a lot of MBA programs have no pre req...

I'm thinking of going to ECPI for the 1 year LPN course. I'm trying to become a stable as possible while being a student and trying to live on my own... 22, 23 next month. Can't go back home to momma ... My job has already told me that would pay me $...

Good luck! I am almost 100% on going. My program has everything included in 14months. Do you think being an lpn is flexible with schedules to work around school (& clinicals, if I do pursue RN). I assume I'd most likely have to become a "Wee...

Ahh $8.25 would definitely not work for 3 more years and to scared to room with strangers, especially in this economy. My gut is telling me to go to ECPI, because by this time next year I'll be better off (i hope). Do you know how tough it would be t...

Yes? No?
