Texas LVNS doing Excelsior College

[Granna3]

Hi,

I am wondering if there are any Texas nurses doing the EC program or any nurses that have graduated from the program? I have been doing some research and am very confused. I have 6 credits I need to do before starting the actual nursing classes. Would you suggest doing those through EC or another school. I have been an office nurse for 20 years and before that 10 years of hospital. I am sure I want to pursue this goal, but am very nervous.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Well I guess we have to stop saying Texas is "EC friendly." I saw a post on the Distance Learning board that alarmed me. Even though Tspade calms my nerves with this situation and I'm not too worried, I just had to call the TX BON myself today since TX will be my future home. I was told they EC's ADN program is under review due to the lack of clinicals. If this is an ongoing dilemma, then TX is NOT "EC friendly", which makes me sad.
