   R0xyg4l replied to rhudo's topic in Excelsior

   I definitely used my LPN A&P book! Don't freak out too much about the Krebs cycle or anything too detailed. I used Lisa Arends CD, LPN A&P book and a book with a lot of detailed pictures (I like pictures! ;-)) and passed with a B.

   R0xyg4l replied to rhudo's topic in Excelsior

   I've been using SG101 as well. For those who used it for Health Safety, when I downloaded it, it was 1k+ pages. Some appears to be original material, some graphs or charts and some textbook pages. Did you study all 1k pages to pass??

   Hello ladies! I'm not actually enrolled yet... I'm procrastinating till I've completed every test I can. Soon, that will only be transitions, I believe. I'm almost finished with prereqs, I just have A&P to go in about a week. Sarah, what are you...

   Hello! I know a great home care companion based out of Plainville & Stratford if you are interested. They focus on pediatric home care. I enjoy it though it's not my FT job. I know they always need help! I'm originally from Indiana but I have liv...

   Hello Jenn! Apple Healthcare is a pretty big LTC throughout CT. I can't speak for their character, pay or anything else. What area do you live in?

8. Motivation needed to get through Excelsior RN program

   R0xyg4l replied to dianneger's topic in Excelsior

   How's it going so far? I feel like its hard for me to focus sometimes and though some of the subject matter is a review like I'm somehow not going to retain it !

9. Motivation needed to get through Excelsior RN program

   R0xyg4l replied to dianneger's topic in Excelsior

   Hrm.. I thought I had responded to this! But obviously not! I'm in Connecticut and doing Excelsior LPN to ADN/ASN. Currently I have micro, A&P and bio to do for prereqs. I took Penn Foster ENG103 online today (so easy and only $70!). I would love...

10. Human Growth CLEP 2/21/12

    R0xyg4l replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Excelsior

    I found this CLEP and intro to Psych and Soc went pretty hand in hand! If you do well on it you pretty much have the others in the bag! I used REA books as well. I found them to be helpful but just as a review of what I learned from my LPN program! G...

13. EC Students: What study materials did you use for the NCs?

    R0xyg4l posted a topic in Online Learning

    Hello, I have been reading a lot in forums. I'm hoping to finish up all of my prereqs within the next two months and move on to the nursing components of the EC program. I have seen that some people have just used MyStudyGroup 101 guides with the EC ...

14. has ANYONE gone through The College Network then transferred to EC and graduated?

    R0xyg4l replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Online Learning

    I'm currently going to school through EC. I originally was going to sign up with TCN but realized they are just an overpriced publishing company. As previously mentioned, you do not have to transfer anything from TCN to EC as TCN just gives you their...

15. Lincoln Tech Hamden 09?

    R0xyg4l replied to eboii121's topic in Connecticut

    If I recall right, if you fail the exit exam I think you MAY get to retake it once, and/or retake mods 4 & 5. But I graduated in 2007 and have to admit to some PTSD from LT. :)
