  4. Has anyone contacted EC about the CPNE wait time?

    FocusRN replied to Fancy Face's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well like others said you can try to do A&P and Micro at a CC and still go through EC. Also, for enrolled EC students at least you can get FREE tutoring for A&P. And, something else that I...

  7. CO nurses-is Excelsior to get an RN OK???

    FocusRN replied to daisymay07's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you feel like you need more clinical before the CPNE, I guess job shadowing could be an option. But, if you feel like you want a little more after you pass N-Clex, a woman, that was a few years...

    FocusRN replied to TimBukWho?'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    FocusRN replied to TimBukWho?'s topic in Online Distance Learning
