   Lexilou08 replied to Lexilou08's topic in Excelsior

   Each student got 200 bucks for each time you took the CPNE and failed. 200 isn't much compared to the 2000 it cost to take the test, but it's better than nothing! And I'm glad the school finally admitted they were wrong and deceiving students by maki...

    I was struggling with care plans for a while. I was way overthinking them and making them much more complicated. I found Sheri Taylor's online cpne and it was totally worth the money. I think it was like 137 bucks for unlimited access for 30 days, or...

    I actually just replied to someone else about micro. There's a workbook you can get along with the text book. The one I had was several editions older, but I'm assuming the current required textbook has the workbook. If not, find it in the older edit...

    Lexilou08 replied to Kenzie1999's topic in Excelsior

    I didn't take the workshop offered through excelsior. I didn't attend a workshop in person at all in fact. I only used Sheri Taylor's online workshop. It was a lifesaver and I would not have passed the cpne without it. Honestly after watching all of ...
