Unfortunately, I too have failed for the third time. I agree with everything you say. I too went to Exceliors Work shop and was informed by Excelsior's workshop instructors, "I was so prepared". I also took every one workshop. I had multiple letters written from my DON and several Nurse Managers. What makes matters worse is when I read, "this is so doable" what a lie. Our future was weighing on how the instructors felt that day. It does not measure what we know. I have written letters to every LPN school in PA and NJ informing them not to promote Excelsior. I contacted my state Board. Excelsior is nothing more than a cash cow.
I too have failed 3x please have anyone e-mail me that has failed 3x. Please e-mail chop1602@yahoo.com
Maybe we can help people in the future not to waste their time and money.
I am so sorry you didn't pass. However, I firmly believe Excelsior knows and picks who is going to pass. I should have never failed I never even saw a patient the 3rd time. I failed the stupid labs however, passed the 1 and 2nd time.
I just wish I could find an attorney who would take me case and sue them for all the money I spent. I would go up against anyone that passed that test and run circles around them. I am sick to death of people saying "it is doablel" Bull
addendum...don't anyone say I wasn't prepared. I took their workshop and was "instsructed by the instructors" you will have no problem. The CPNE doesn't measure what kind of nurse you are. If I sound angry I am. I had the DON and Multiple managers of my hospital write a letter on my behalf. Excelsior didn't care they do not respect other Nursing School's and instructors opinions. If someone at a major university hospital that teaches and writes a letter for a student they don't even respond. Excelsior is a cash cow taking money in. Why do you think certain states won't allow nurses from Excelsior work in their state.
