The letter you will receive will tell you to claim your seat by email. It will give you a date for the "registration session". When you attend the registation session they will provide lots of information like your schedule, the uniform order info an...

I'm in my first semester right now. I was checking this forum to see if anyone has heard anything since I have a friend applying for Fall. You do pick your schedule from various papers on the registration day. This semester my schedule is as follows:...

Size and strength have nothing to do with good chest compressions. I'm nearly your size (plus a few pounds). I'm a paramedic and a nursing student. When I work codes, I watch the firemen on scene performing chest compressions and becoming fatigued qu...

So, there are no classes next Monday and Tuesday for fall break. They are both faculty work days. This seems like the perfect amount of time for them to dedicate to updating all of our techlinks and putting our packets and letters together, right? I'...

Thanks for sharing that info. I'd be pretty happy with that schedule.

Not trying to give you something else to check, but if you sign up for informed delivery from USPS you will know when your letter is coming early in the AM on the day it arrives! Our mail doesn't get delivered until late so I love having this :D If...

Try not to stress yourself out over it! I think last year the deadline was earlier than this year. It's so hard but I'm trying to refrain from looking more than once a day for the next week or so! Letters take even longer. I'm not expecting that unti...

Does anyone know how long it takes to show up on the nurse aide registry after you take and pass your test? I've taken and passed the skills, but they rescheduled my written exam and now i don't take it until october 13. If I pass, should it show up ...

Techlink - Register now - academics - student planning - my progress. It should say "Gen Occup Tech - Associate Degree Nursing" now. It should change to "Associate Degree Nursing" if you're accepted.

We are finally past the deadline! Good luck everyone. Start checking techlink in a couple weeks and let us know when you see a change :)

Well that stinks. Maybe we should make our own Facebook group? I know one person that started the program this semester. I'll try to get some info from him or I'll email someone at the school. I'll let you know what I find out!

Pfrank have you taken your TEAS already? I decided not to take it again, I think my points will be okay. Does anyone know someone who got in last semester? I really want to know what the schedules are like for first semester so I can plan. Do we get...

Great job on your TEAS! I took my TEAS today. I ran out of time to review ANY science and it hurt my score- but I made a 78 so I'm okay. My goal was 80. I have 158 points now. She said it's a "solid" amount of points. It still makes me nervous. I'm c...

Have you already done your MAR? Some people have said that even though they took summer classes they still allowed them to complete their MAR before 8/28. I feel like waiting that late doesn't give me long to take then retake my TEAS if necessary. :|

RN vs BSN...should be obvious right? I'm an adult learner, 2 kids, already have an associate degree in emergency medical science. Street medicine for 7 years, paramedic in level 1 trauma center ED for 2 years. I want to go back for nursing. I know mo...

Oops. you are correct. I should have put ADN vs BSN. Thanks :)

Hey everyone! I'm applying for Spring as well. I can't do my MAR until the end of August because I had to take a class over the summer. I applied over 5 years ago and was placed on the alternate list with 147.8 points. Apparently I was near the botto...

If I use my old TEAS scores from a few years ago I'll have 176 points. Obviously my TEAS scores have expired so I'll have to retake it after my MAR review. I hope I score similarly this time around.

I have A's in all of my classes but my TEAS scores are expired so I have to take that again. I applied 4 years ago but was put on the alternates list and never called. I still haven't seen them post an updated requirements document for spring 2017 so...

Hey, Glad to see you started a thread for Spring '17. I am planning to apply as well. Have you completed all of your pre-reqs?

Hi everyone. I am so overwhelmed looking at Excelsior and all of the information in these boards. I'm a paramedic in north carolina. i've heard from various people that employers "don't care" where you got your nursing degree from as long as you have...

Hi everyone. I have my AAS in Emergency Medical Science and I am working as a paramedic. I love my job but would like to become a RN as well. I need to continue to work full-time while obtaining this degree. Two of my co-workers are getting their deg...

What is CLEP? I googled but I'm not sure how this relates to excelsior nursing degrees. I'm new to this and it's a lot of info. :)
