    traumahawk99 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    traumahawk99 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    i've got to agree with you. this is what the nln had in mind when they accredited excelsior. if there were no excelsior, would you be a registered nurse? how good of a nurse are you? would you be...

  16. Excelsior ... Next Steps ... Advice Please ... ?

    traumahawk99 replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    traumahawk99 replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    traumahawk99 replied to Autumndove's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
