RN Degree
Excelsior
College offers programs where you take your classes
online and go to their regional testing sites to be
tested on your knowledge and skills. Candidates for
the associate program include students who have completed
at least 50% of the clinical nursing courses in a registered
nursing program. Certain medical professionals, including
paramedics and respiratory technicians, are also eligible
to apply.[more]
Students
say they enjoy the "study from home" and "go
at your own pace" curriculum. It is an especially
nice option for non-traditional students with children,
or for those who do not have a nursing school in their
area. You can begin your program at any time.
Excelsior
reports a NCLEX pass rate higher then the national average.
One graduate stated, "After taking all the Excelsior
exams the NCLEX was a piece of cake." The students
offer support and pass around study guides, discuss
their trips to the regional testing sites via email
groups.
At
this time, California does not hire Excelsior graduates.
Updates of policies and requirements are ongoing and
vary at each State Board Of Nursing. Before you decide
on Excelsior, contact the State Board of Nursing where
you plan to practice to check on their requirements
for licensure. |
