Excelsior LPN-BSN 2023
ATI proctored exams are custom made by the school using the Next Gen testing that's NCLEX standard as of April 23. The school has 80 as a level 2 which is passing. It's a high standard, I take my Fundamentals proctored exam on Thursday ?

Excelsior LPN-BSN 2023
A 70 is passing in all nursing classes. The tests are custom ATI and proctored starting in Nursing 109 which is the last Fundamentals class before entering Med Surg and Reproductive Health in phase . Once you finish the ADN program you sit for the NCLEX

I don't believe they called my job, however My DON signed the form and I sent it in to the school.

Excelsior LPN-BSN 2023
I took the TEAS in March, took my science pre-reqs again in the starting May 1st. Summer 1 and 2 ( A and P 1 and 2, Micro) because mine were more than 5 years old. I also had to take Information Technology and Cornerstone which are Excelsior requirements which totaled 13 credits. I took Cornerstone and A and P 1 Summer I 6 credits and Micro, A and P II and Information Technology Summer II 7 credits. I will graduate with the ADN Dec 2024, the bachelors is another 60 credits that I will not be taking there as I have a Bachelors Degree in another field, so I'll be doing an ADN-MSN program ( 40 credits) after I take my NCLEX.. Hope this helps!!

Excelsior LPN-BSN 2023
I am currently an LPN to RN student, 2 weeks away from entering Phase 2 in the Spring. The program is all ATI based, every assignment, every quiz , and test. In Nursing 104, 105 and 108 there are no proctored exams, they start in 109, the last class before phase 2. There are 3 video assignments that are pass/ fail in phase 1; Head to Toe Assessment, Medication Administration , and IV push administration, you get 2 chances to pass. There are approximately 5 ATI assignments due each week, and 1 post 2 responses, and a reflection assignment for each class. It is a lot of work, I wouldn't recommend taking more than 1 class every 8 weeks unless you are not working because it is a lot. There are 2 physical clinicals in phase 3 that are 1 weekend in length. They schedule you during the semester, so there isn't the wait time like before, to do the CPNE which was eliminated. I'm taking 2 classes, started with 18 credits and needed 13 credits before I started the nursing classes. I'm taking 2 classes every 8 weeks until Spring I when I can only take 1, I'll graduate December 2024, 19 months in total. Hope this helps, there is a lot of miscommunication out there since this program has changed a lot on just a few months..

LPN-CONFUSED!
I appreciate the responses, but I'm going for my RN now but an ADN.. Rutgers grad program admits people like me in their graduate wound care certificate program with a Bachelors in another field. Looking for advice on that..

LPN-CONFUSED!
Hello all, I am currently an LPN since 2010, worked 2 jobs in NJ for less than a year, and chose to continue in the hospitality business because an LPN nursing job was hard to get and I needed to make money. 6 years later I have completed all of my prerequisites for an accelerated BSN program ( I have a B. A. In another field)...but it's 40-80,000 dollars! I am just finishing my loan for 20,000 for LPN.. I want a BSN but decided on an ADN and wound care is my calling ( I have a state license as an esthetician)I found a master certificate program at a Rutgers which doesn't require a BSN.. any suggestions from current nurses??
