I have 3 out of 4 semesters done already in the clinical part for nursing. So that part is no problem. As for classroom time many times with the college I have been attending I end up teaching myself and that is why I am looking at this. I have to drive one hour one way for school and with the cost of gas I found myself studying for a minimum of hours a day 7 days a week not including drive time and classroom time and getting burned out.
I guess I know it is not going to be easy but it can't be any harder then what I am doing now. I have worked in the medical field for over 6 years so I have had a lot of patient contact. So are you one semester away from being finished, or how close are you to being done? If you're that close to finishing, I'd stick it out. I understand about the driving time I did the same thing in paramedic school. I lived 50 to 75 miles from my clinical sites, and had to reach them in DC rush hour traffic.
Also, be aware that you will have to retake all the nurses classes with Excelsior, so you'd be starting all over again. That, too, is a significant expense. I think your best bet would be to get your application in ASAP so EC can evaluate your credits and tell you what you'd need.
Well I have one semester of full classes and one class for another semester left. I am very unhappy with the instrutors.
I think I had mentioned earlier that the instructors are not good. I have taught myself most of the way and I feel that I am not getting a good education. I just don't know what to do. I would keep going with the regular school if you're that close. If I even had a chance of getting into a regular nursing program, I would have.

So zoom with NO instructional guidance With no feedback. Only once said, you forgot to introduce yourself. So next was detailed, with the response.. Never knew what they wanted, all they said was we cant tell you anything. Lost tons of money because this college wanted more and more money for new testing.
Spent 20k for 1 yr of college My state ended up not recognizing this on line college. I believe this is criminal! Excelsior was amazing and they combined all of my courses together and said that I would only have to take 4 courses to graduate. This college is insanely expensive and if it was not for my GI Bill I don't think I could possibly afford going here, but I am most glad for the opportunity that has opened up for me to get my bachelors finally!
They definitely make up for not having physical class by having you do more work. That aside, I can honestly say this is the first and only institution that I have attended where I can say I have learned things and taken away skills. Each institution I was at previously was a matter of going through the motions.
While all professors are different, most seemed genuinely interested in delivering the content and challenging you. By that I mean the very few honor societies available are run on a skeleton crew and do not seem serious despite being actual accredited national honor societies alpha sigma lambda, salute NSCS, etc.
Also do not expect to find any clubs or whatnot. Granted excelsior is an online school, but there are social things that could be done.
All in all, if you want a serious education with competent staff, great platform, and a pretty decent library you will find what you are looking for at Excelsior College. Cice Rivera. For example, if you sign up to a class and you believe it's too difficult they work with you to change your class immediately. Financial aid is typically attentive in the school as well. I was able to complete all my classes online while working full time as a night nurse. Had baby 3 and just passed my CPNE first attempt!
