Commenter: Cynthia White LPN-RN student EXCELSIOR

Reconsider distance learning LPN-RN
 

Dear Virginia Board of Health Professionals,

My name is Cindy White.  I am an LPN with over 20 yearsof medical-surgical and oncology experience.  I am pursuing my LPN to RN degree through Excelsior.  I chose an online course because I am the sole income provider for my family and work night shift. I am unable to take the time off from work to go to a school with regular hours.  I have already paid for my program and I would like to finish.  I would like to continue to live in the state of Virginia where I am a homeowner.  However, if I am unable to achieve licensure in Virginia I will have move in order to continue working.

Thank you for your time.

Best,

Cynthia E. White
