Getting started with Excelsior College - Page 9

It wasn't wrong, but you can take pre-reqs and a couple of the nursing exams before you have to pay the enrollment fee. Once you've paid that, you've started the clock ticking toward your student services annual fee (SSAF) being due, which is $440. But no worries -- I did the same thing!

Pick your first exam -- might as well start with Essentials of Nursing Care: Health Safety, which was formerly known as NC1. Download the exam content guide (when you've logged in to your "MyEC" page on the website, you'll see a link for "Free Examination Content Guides" somewhere down the right side of the page), and use that content guide to direct your learning. Some people use textbooks, others use notes from eBay sources like StudyGroup101, or used TCN modules on eBay. I used a combination of all of those things. There is a lot of information on Excelsior in this forum -- the search function can help. Good luck!!

Really Erika? I heard that you don't need anything extra, at all, outside of the actual practice tests and guides. However, I am willing to purchase something if it makes a difference between grades :-) Are all of the nursing exams, that Excelsior gives, NCLEX format Qs?..or is more knowledge-based?

I just heard that Ohio is not going to except excelsior or online degrees after this year. I was still kind of thinking of doing the online degree, but not if this is going to be the case.
