I could not have done it any other way. Excelsior was an adult learner's dream school. Just do the learning, and then prove it through testing. I was well prepared for the NCLEX. Passed the first time. Did not buy any books, just borrowed them from libraries. Think I might go on with them for the BSN. Have heard good reviews, and they give a discount to former students! I do not think a motivated ...

Excelsior College: An Unforgettable Experience
December 12, 2011
I enrolled with Excelsior College with the hopes of being near graduation by the end of a year. Imagine my surprise when I was holding my RN license in my hand exactly 10 months from the date of my first exam!! The mound of support from people that you may never meet is overwhelming. Going through each exam with others with identical goals, triumphs, and tribulations made this experience one-of-a-kind. Being disciplined is a must, ...

Not a scam
November 2, 2011
I had been an LPN for many years and could not work full time and go to a traditional school. I went to this program and graduated with an AAS in Nursing. I passed my clinicals the 1st time! if you prepare for the clinicals, study exactly what they tell you to study, you can pass the first time! I hate reading some of the reviews that say this is a scam...IT IS NOT A ...

CPNE-Excelsior college
November 1, 2011
The CPNE was unrealistically ridiculous!! Four of the six students testing over the weekend were there for the second try, and I am not sure those four passed this time. Just an example of how ridiculous it was, at the simulation lab of the IV pust station I made sure there were no bubbles in the syringe, tipped it upside down (like I had seen others testing do) The CE took it over to the ...

Excelsior is GREATfor the right individual!
October 1, 2011
I was a very experienced paramedic when I completed my ASN at Excelsior. I had been enrolled for several years and had completed only one exam when I got serious about completing the program and followed this method: Schedule an exam on a Friday, follow the suggested reading list exactly with great diligence, take the exam and if you pass schedule the next exam for the very next Friday, repeat. This will require 8-12 hours ...

Difficult.....but Achievable
August 29, 2011
I thought the Excelsior experience was overall positive. I had been an LPN for 32 years, but had practiced a different discipline until I returned to Nursing 10 years ago. What was great is that it did not impact my life negatively. I enjoyed my day to day life, and took a test when I felt like it. This school was great until the time for the clinical portion. I was fortunate that I passed ...

Excelsior College Needs to Change their CPNE Eval
July 18, 2011
Excelsior College is capable of graduating top notch nurses IF you can pass the CPNE. It's very hard not to think that the pass/fail criteria is not a "set up" to make money off of people. Please beware when taking their Clinical Competency exam as there is NO margin for mistake or failure which is very unlike traditional nursing schools. You pay $2000.00 to travel to one of their hospital sites for 2 1/2 days ...

Excelsior College is the best choice for working adults and military personnel.  I and many of my peers are living testimonies. Also, please keep in mind that unlike most highly advertised online schools, Excelsior College is not a "FOR PROFIT" school and therefore has nothing to gain by cheating you out of your money.  As such, any posts you see about Excelsior which claims the program is a scam and they are out to get your money is cancelled by two facts:
1. They are a member of SUNY
2. They are non-profit and not corporate owned
In fact, Excelsior College sent me a check for money they owed me without me even know they owed it to me. The check came with a letter stating details as to why they owed me the money.  The Staff was easy to contact and produce speedy resolutions to issues you bring to their attention.  Bottom line, Excelsior College is THE BEST answer to online education.

I was a LPN.  I completed all the written exams (Regents College) at the time.  Then of course, the failed me in the clinical for no reason.  They quickly said, re-register to take the clinical.  I said not thanks. I went home and enrolled in my local university.  Three years later, I was earned my BSN. Four years after that, I earned my MSN.  I would NEVER suggest anyone attend Excelsior.  It is not recognized in all states.

In response to HandyOne2 and the statement that "They want the money for all courses upfront and then the materials don't cover the test." It is likely that you were dealing with a test preparation firm that is not affiliated with Excelsior College. In fact, Excelsior is not affiliated with any test prepration or tutorial firm which are all for-profit companies. Excelsior is a private, nonprofit college. The College does not require payment upfront for "all courses" or all study materials. The study materials and support services that can be obtained from the College itself -- many are provided at no additional charge -- are developed by the College's faculty so these materials are up-to-date and cover the subject matter students are expected to master.
