I am sorry to hear that Virginia is limiting licensure eligibility for gradutes of Excelsior's Associate Degree in Nursing program.

Excelsior is a highly regarded program that makes it possible for busy LPN's, such as myself, to further our education in the nursing profession.  We are all commitied to the profession of nursing that we love, but for a variety of reasons are unable to attend a "traditional" RN nursing program.

I belive by limiting licensure eligibility for Excelsior graduates the state of Virginia will be missing a pool of execptionally talented and dedicated professionals.
