I sincerely appreciate your input. I will take a closer look at the LCC program.

I am currently working as a Personal Security Specialist/EMT-P for the Embassy Protection Detail in Kabul, Afghanistan, so I was hoping to find something that I could work at on-line while I am overseas.

I read the fine print for the College Network and it is really just a textbook sales service. They are not officially affiliated with Excelsior College. I was concerned about the lack of "official" clinical hours with Excelsior. Have you encountered anybody with an Excelsior degree that had problems getting hired?

As an aside, when did you get your MS from MSU? I graduated with my Master's in CJ from MSU in 1997.

Thank you,

Troy McClellan

I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for an EMT-P to RN transition in mid-Michigan?

I am especially interested in any courses that I can complete primarily on-line. When I search Google I keep getting directed to the College Network and Excelsior College in Albany, NY.
Thank you, Troy
