Hi, all! I've been an LPN for lots of years, finishing up core curriculum now and will start the bridge program in Jan. Sounds like a long way off, but I'm excited , feel like I am finally making progress. Look forward to hearing from everyone.

Hey again guys. I just found a GREAT site to help with nursing in general and esp those who need A&P to meet RN requirements. I thought I was semi knowledgeable about the human body....this made me feel stupid haha! www.getbodysmart.com it is interactive and even offers quizes! Hope it helps someone.

Hi all, thought I'd "check-in" here as I finally "feel" like a student. Have been a LVN for goin on 25 years and been doin the Excelsior program (off and on) since 1998..anyway only have 5 tests and the CPNE left, will have the tests knocked out by the end of October and hope to get an appointment for the CPNE by Jan. Are there any other Excelsior students out there? Would love to hear from ya and comiserate. BTW, DW does her CPNE the last week in October..she will have completed the program in just 7 months!!! I'm so proud of her.

Excelsior student here, I've been an LPN for ummmm.......eight months. I started Excelsior in February '08. I've procrastinated a bit, but now EC is all I think about. I have a couple more exams which I plan to finish by the end of September '08. I plan on applying for the CPNE by October '08 and.....hoping to be testing in Albany in February '09.


I love the program, I love the feeling of working on my exams on my time....no one else's. Just stopped by to drop a line...thanks for all the encouragement.

Hello there..
I am finishing up my core requirement classes also and will be starting the LPN to RN bridge program Jan 2009.. I'm really looking forward to it! Especially since this year was when I initially decided to go ahead and go for my RN now, got all my pre-req's done in just this year to make it into the Jan '09 program!

I have been an LPN for 15yrs, just graduated from nursing school in May'08. I had a very difficult time trying to support my and attend nursing school at the same time. I barely made graduation. I failed my first NCLEX end of July,08. I thought I was prepared to take the test. May have been my nerves and/or studing from too many sources in retrospect. The questions were similiar to what you have studied.
I recommend working as little as possible if you have a choice. Although I have many yrs of experience as an LPN, the RN is on whole other level of care and management of a patient.

I am a new LPN and having a hard time choosing the right step to take towards my RN. Any help would be appreciated. Also looking for any info regarding NLN mobility test 1 or ACE test. Thank you, I am 38 and I think it is great so many people go back to school at this age. God Bless..
