Has any past or new excelsior students taken this exam? If so how hard is this exam? Seems like I'm all over the place studying for this one! Chronicity/ foundations of nursing.

Chroncity has been the easiest for me. I am currently working on L1 and the silly Information Literacy class.
Ok, I guess it varies for certain people, so far I've heard how this one is a challenge, what sources did u use? As of right now I'm using recommended textbooks and Tcn guide. Life span 1 caught me off guard or something! Lol! That exam is a monster, it really was my fault though, I put to much emphasis on neoplastic meds and didn't study well enough for the cardiovascular area, unfortunately that's what landed my D.
Oh gosh! I was afraid that LS1 was going to be a doozy. Now for chroncity, I used SG101 and I rented the pharmacology book. I felt like SG 101 didn't fully prepare me for Chroncity. I also found my old med surg book from LPN school. I honestly found it easier than transition to nursing and health safety.
Good luck with the test.
Definitely follow ur content guide and Saunders is a really good source. People say LS 1 and 3 are the hardest. Lol! I think all of them are monsters! I also had a lot of check all those that apply questions, part 2 of the reason for my D, I absolutely hate those type of questions.
