  1. Any New Excelsior Students?

    UlanaD replied to CaliLVN-RN's topic in Excelsior College

    The excelsior 'content guide' is a syllabus, it doesnt have any in depth material at all. Studygroup101 is a study guide and has all the stuff from the content guide in more

    UlanaD replied to Nibbles1's topic in Excelsior College

  3. Letter from DLSI

    UlanaD replied to LoriMaynor's topic in LPN to RN

    You can still finish your degree if you don't have everything done by July 2015, it's just that they are changing up the way they do the exams to include some kind of conference before you can...

  7. FCCA's - separately or both at once?

    UlanaD replied to MedicFireRN's topic in Excelsior College

    I'm going to do both at once, that way it's only 8 weeks instead of 16. I've been reading the sg101 to get ready for it in

  8. EXELSIOR College - Lawsuit

    UlanaD replied to robyncae's topic in Excelsior College

    Sorry to offend but like lisa said it happens all the time, the one time posters seem to just want to stir the pot. EC is not for everyone but like any other legitimate program, you get out of it...

    UlanaD replied to LaNurse22's topic in Excelsior College

    UlanaD replied to CareerChanger2009's topic in Western Governors University

  17. Galen vs Excelsior?

    UlanaD replied to olive11's topic in LPN to RN

    UlanaD replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior College

    BSN programs usually want your ANP and Micro to have had a lab, at least all that I've checked so far. If you do Excelsior ADN and then their BSN you won't need
