A student spends years and thousands of dollars pursuing her RN degree with Excelsior. After all the tests are passed, she can finally take the CPNE - an examination of her nursing skills. Mind you, this costs $1825 to take. That's not including the airfares to get there (no, they don't test in every state - only a few). Oh, and you'll need to rent a hotel room (about $90/night for 5 nights). And of course, you'll need to rent a car to get there. Then when you take the all intimidating examination - you'll be failed for something so small you can't believe they get away with it. Your whole career goals/dreams down the drain! Go to a regular nursing school. They are way cheaper, and way faster. Don't buy into the supposedly convenience factor. The tests are so hard, you'd actually spend less time in a traditional school. Please people, don't let what happened to me happen to you. Peace !

Im a recent Excelsior College nursing graduate.The program was no doubt tough, required a lot of work and long study hours. As for the CPNE I passed on the first try and it was not a walk in the park by any means. To prepare I flew out of state to take a workshop to get me ready. This is a self paced program and requires a lot of self discipline. Some of the comments on here talking bad about Excelsior are just flat out untrue. It seems some people cant take responsibility for their own short comings in life and have to blame someone else for it. I would like to say keep studying and get back on that horse and conquer it...but with the attitude many of you have i would have to agree with RNFL who says, "Im glad your not my nurse". For those of you who didnt pass and getting ready to take it again, i cant stress enough how important a workshop is to prepare you for the CPNE. i found it helped me a lot. I wish those of you the best of luck! If you have any questions on how to best prepare in my opinion than email me. i would be more than happy to help you because i know how stressful this test can be.My email address is robertjaymoore@gmail.com
I too Failed 2x and timed out for a 3rd time... Trying to save for Test and Travel...
