   Hooked on ER replied to dawnsternlpn's topic in Online Learning

   Hi! Great choice in Excelsior! I am 45 and just graduated 1 year ago. The fees are paid as you go. There are no hidden fees. It is a little bit more expensive than a brick and morter school, but you know exactly how much it will be right up front. T...

   Hooked on ER posted a topic in Online Learning

   Would someone do a big favor for me? I need a copy of the "summary of changes" from the 16th edi. Just highlight the page(s) and attach it to an e-mail. I would appreciate it greatly! Thank you so much in advance!! [email protected]

3. IV push question

   Hooked on ER replied to desertgal's topic in General Nursing

   I never pinch, the pressure coming from above pushing the fluid into the vein will be greater than the pressure you are using. I do flush between incompatible meds just because of the risk that some will stay in the port.

10. Excelsior Practice Exams

    Hooked on ER replied to LPN_2005/RN_10's topic in Online Learning

    I too was very nervous about this exam just because of everything I had read. I studied Lisa Arends notes for 2 weeks, took the practice exams and got an A on the real thing. I did not think it was any different or more difficult than the rest of the...

11. Larends or Study group 101?

    Hooked on ER replied to Arnomedic's topic in Online Learning

    I loved them both. Those two study guides are all I used, no books. Personally, I like Lisa Arends the best. These and the EC practice tests are worth every penny.

    I did mine last month. I didn't use anything. If you know the basics about NANDA diagnosis you should be fine. It really wasn't difficult.

13. To enroll now or later in Excelsior???

    Hooked on ER replied to R0xyg4l's topic in Online Learning

    I bought all of the books EC recommended for my first test. When I received all of them I took one look at the 3 foot pile and panicked. I then went to E-Bay and ordered Study Group 101 and Lisa Arends notes. I never looked at a single book and passe...

15. Excelsior question

    Hooked on ER replied to Lisa1980's topic in Online Learning

    Welcome! Mine was also well within the 3 weeks. Do you have any more gen. ed. classes? You can be working on some of those. My advice is to take as many CLEP and DSST as you can. You can also start working on another nursing course to test on as soon...
