Would anyone have any recommendations for a good online nutrition course in PA? I'd like to find one for a short winter session or summer. Just wondering which universities offer this option. Thanks for sharing! Toni
Just wondering what 1 book you bought (other than the school recommended texts) that really helped you in nursing school. I'm getting ready to buy my first semester texts and want to add 1 or 2 items that would be helpful for my nursing classes. T...
Have B. S. in Biology and Psyc. but what can you do with that? That was my frustration. After being out of school a while and having a family, I'd like to go back to work. My choices were limited to getting a master's in one of the previous fields...
The nursing school I will be attending has required I retake Micro and A&P since they were over ten years ago. However, they do accept taking an Excelsior exam for those courses, which is what I have chosen to do. I thought once you take a cour...
I am using an old Marieb textbook also. I borrowed the text recommended by Excelsior from our library and it had way too much extra information. I felt overwhelmed. Marieb also has a web-site to test yourself on each chapter. I have found it help...
Now you've scared me! I'm supposed to take this test this month. It really is a huge amount of information and it doesn't seem like the content guide narrows it down much. You have to know every chapter. At least when I took courses in college, t...

Just wondering what I have to look forward to. How hard are your nursing classes in comparison with your prerequisites? Are they harder, easier, or about the same as A&P or Micro? What are the most challenging nursing classes?
I wasn't advocating taking money from those less fortunate. I assumed from looking at the Financial Aid forms that the government would know who to give the money to. They require your previous years tax forms and information on everything you own....
Just thought a lot of people might appreciate advice and study tips from those who have been there/done that. How much time did it take to prepare for the tests? Which tests are the most challenging? Do the tests follow the course guides reliab...
Most of the answers here have seemed negative about a loan. I am in the process of making this decision now and I've been told a loan is often beneficial even if you don't need it. If the interest is deferred until you graduate, how can you go wron...
I'm starting back to school in the Fall and would love some advice on exams through Excelsior! I must take A&P and Micro in the next 5 months. For those who have experience with this program, how long did you need to study to feel proficient? Did...
