To those doing Excelsior, how long has it taken you from start to finish? What were the best third party guides to help with the material from Excelsior. I just finished my LPN Dec 15, 2014, and take my NCLEX-PN on Mar 27, 2015 and want to get started right away on my RN. One strategy to go into graduate school, is to go back and take A&P I, II and then apply to graduate school once I get my BSN from Excelsior. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!
