Type ovThe Excelsior progrma is a excelant program. I am crurrantly in the program in a differant state. the poeple that are in this program are currantly working as LPNs and we get a lot of clinical expericen on the job. also I have been in the traditonal school and i have learned a lot more in this program. the clinical process we go through is very difficut and they make sure we know how to take care of patients as a RN before we can graducate the program. I wetn throught the clinical program last summer and did not pass. I have also been the tradiitaional program and believe me when I tell you this program is a much harder program to pass. you really need to check this out before you think about getting rid of this program. We are going to have such a shortage in nursing and we need all the good nursing programs that are out there believe me when I tell you this is a excellant program and you do not pass it unless you know what you are doing. Pleas look iinto this more before you make up your mind. I still have my clinicals to at whick I am getting ready to rapply for. they concentrate on the areas that we do not do as LPNs when we go to clinicals. We do a lot of work on care plans and to summit and appply our care plans as we are taking care of our patient. we have a clinical person with us at all times watching our every move. when you are in traditional school your instruter is ussually with about 6 people and has to keep tract of those 6 people and can not watch your every move. er this text and enter your comments here.
