Excelsior College School of Nursing is the largest in the nation!

[Exfactor]

I've met many Excelsior grads through this program, even before I even enrolled or knew about Excelsior College, years prior. All states have specific regulations that must be met to gain licensure, so thats a moot point. Nevertheless, the CPNE validates an individuals clinical competency in the real world with real patients along with a faculty observer who documents all of their skills, clinical judgment, as well as patient interaction using psychometrics. If you failed the test you were unprepared, and lacked the knowledge.
