Starting with Excelsior in 2011

Published

Happy New Year everyone!!!

Is anyone like me starting Excelsior in 2011? My goal is to complete my ADN by June/July 2011.

I'm ready to get the ball rolling and get it done in 2011. I'm starting with H&S and then Transitions.

Best of luck to all starting school in the New Year. :)

I too plan on starting in 2011, I am an LPN with the VA currently and just found out that the EC program is eligible for the VA scholarship (VANEEP). I'm going to try for that, if not, I'll just have to pay as I go.

Good luck, I know 2 VA nurses that were LPN's and achieved their RN thru EC.

Very happy & excited.

Been a LPN for going on my 18th year, all in long term care.

Im getting ready to start also! I got my unofficial eval on thursday, and Am going to be doing the program from Korea!

But I have like 60 credits to take! I will be doing school full time and be in Korea with my husband (in the army) , and we will be there for two years, so I have a good chunk of time to study! Good luck!

Hi Everyone,

I would also like to take the EC journey with all of you this year! Just flunk out of ADN program in 3rd semester by 1 point due to a horrible grade received for a "Cultural Paper", mind you I am an excellent writer in all previous coursework....don't know why this instructor failed me....Anyway, I'm moving on. I think if I get accepted at EC it will be a better fit for me. I applied last week and waiting now for the evaluation process. I would like to start as soon as possible so I can get done by December 2011. The problem is I don't want to start taking exams until I am for sure accepted. I know a lot of info is fresh in my mind now so the sooner the better. I am ready to knock out the exams and then schedule CPNE by September. Any thoughts?

I am looking forward to supporting each other here....Good luck all!
