Thanks. Wow! I would really love that. I want to be a Neonatal nurse. I was just scared to go w/ them because I read on the forum here that someone tried Medical City, and Children's, but they did not get calls back after they said they were Excelsior grads.

I'm in Dallas, I really can not see myself staying at the LVN level long, because, I barely see any jobs for LVNs in the hospital setting. I have only seen 1 or 2.

Hi Tracy!

How far along are you in the program? Do you have study groups? How long did it take your co worker to take and pass all the tests?

Well I spoke to a HR manager for Memorial Hermann who is a personally friend of my father and she advised me towards EC. She told me that online schooling is the way to learn now.
