Katelyn I just passed my RN boards, I attended Excelsior. Don't look at the big picture it is too overwhelming to do yourself. It is just one class. It took me about 5 years. I took summers and holidays off. Having 3 children and working full time managing a 60 bed unit, I had my plate full before I started. I wanted to do it though. So, I would say I am taking this one class. Before, I knew it a few were done. Just stay focused on the one class theory. It works! When all is said and done, I have no idea how I did it but I did one class at a time, you can do it. The end result is so worth it. Loving my increase in salary. You will too
