Tired of the Run a round!!!!!

I have never seen such an issue with getting into a program in all my days...Everyone speaks of this great nursing shortage well I now know why. All Colleges that offer Nursing classes like to jerk you a round in some way. Do these classes nope not good enough...you need to do these now...How does english 1 and 2...make me a better nurse? I just want to take the nursing classes and go one with me life. Sorry for my rant...So I have been looking for a college to attend for RN training. I received my LPN last October...I have looked at all the colleges in the Louisville Area and none look to promising. Its really kinda like pick your poison and who will get my money...Some people Mention Excelsior...But I have yet to meet a nurse who has obtained there Rn from this program...Has anyone received there's from them? Thanks a lot

    I know several nurses who have graduated from the Excelsior Program.

    One of my co-workers is presently an Excelsior student.

    One of my Co-workers graduated 3 years ago and was just promoted to RN-Supervisor.

    One of my Co-workers (PRN) is a nurse manager of an ICU unit at his full-time job.

    So there are plenty of people who graduate from this program. I thought about it but my husband and I are not disciplined enough to do it therefore we decided against it after getting the material and attempting to study.

    I tooo feel your pain. After getting the run around with every school in our area with take this and that before you take this you'll need that etc etc. We have be accepted into a program in a neighboring state within one and a half hour driving distance. Sounds crazy but I would rather drive an hour and a half to school for 11 months and have my RN rather than wait with all these stupid waiting list and etc.

    This school we are accepted into recognizes we are NURSES and since we met requirements toook the challenge exam and passed we were in.

    Good Luck in your search.
