Melissa Jane Rosenblum RN
I am currently RN with an Associaties degree. I am trying to get my BSN as quickly as possible as I am extremely unhappy in hospital nursing and would like to pursue a career in case management with requires a Bachelors in Nursing.
I am starting to talk Clep to fufill lower level course work atJacksonville University the problem is they will allow for me to take 4 courses through exams.
I would like to switch to Excelsior or Thomas Edison as they allow more credit through exam. I am desperate to get out of floor nursing. Does anyone have any opinions on which school is better.
As a NJ Resident Thomas Edison will be cheaper for me and the campus is a 30 min drive from my house so if i have problem i have the option to go there in person and complain, but that i will have to take actual courses for all of the upper level nursing courses. Where as Excelsior will let you do the whole program by examination.
While money is something I need to consider but a couple thousand is worth it if it means i can get my degree faster.
Thank you taking the time to read my long post I apreaciate your input.
