Excellent advice to use the Saunders, I have it with the CD, have not used it to study - though I may consider it since reading this post. I use the textbooks suggested by Excelsior and take the practice exams, so far have had two C's and two B's. Good post.

Just an update..I have passed both FCCA's this past weekend! Applying for CPNE in the coming days..Throughout the entire journey with Excelsior, I have ONLY used the studygroup101.com notes. There is more than enough of info, practice quizzes, care plans, assessments etc. to pass each exam. For me it worked, as my memory cannot retain info that I would have read a month ago, haha..plus I saved a ton on not purchasing each required book. Now to CPNE, I am trying to find info here on any recommendations how to best prepare and pass the first time! I definitely need a weekend practice, any info much appreciated! Thank you!!

Use Rob's CPNE material. It's less than $100 and more than you need to pass the first time.

Medic625 -

I have to take the exact prereqs you took to complete Excelsior's LVN-RN Program. I'm starting with Sociology. I ordered the e-text book the college recommends but honestly I can't read an entire book and then go sit for one test. Can you give me any idea of how to become WELL prepared for the UExcel Exam? Are there any courses or modules to use for preparation? I don't mind paying for quality material, I just want to be prepared.

How did you study for all 4 pre-reqs and pass them so quickly? I DREAM of doing that! LOL

Good morning everyone~ I just wanted to share that I agree. I started with Excelsior College LPN to RN bridge program and now am in Achieve Test Prep. First Exam (Nsg 104)I took through Achieve Test Prep at a testing center for Excelsior College, I did use Study Guide 101 to study with and I passed first try. Second exam Nsg 108 I failed but, had not purchased the Study Guide 101. Just purchased it, lesson learned :-)
