  1. I don't think it says anywhere in the post that she wants to work as an LPN PRN. I think it might be PRN as a tech or student nurse - but the original post is not super clear as the position is stated as "a PRN" rather than describing the type of sc...
  2. Moving on to another program

    How far were you in the program? If you have at least 50 percent of clinical done and live in a state that accepts it you could try excelsior. I failed in my last semester of bsn program this past may, started excelsior and am now done 4 out of 8 o...
  3. So I finally enrolled and want to take a few of the practice exams before I start studying just to get an idea of where I am before I start studying for the exam. So, with the practice exams at what point are you comfortable taking the exam? I mea...
  4. Missed my clinical day

    My problem in the morning is realizing why it is so important to wake up - so I make a personal recording on my cell phone alarm (in addition to an extra loud alarm clock). I usually name my clinical instructor by name and say something like "Profes...
  5. Completely online ASN degree that I found.,

    I doubt any state will allow students to sit for Nclex without a clinical component. The wording on the website is fishy too. I just did a live chat session asking about clinical portion the answer I got was very short - like "yes there is" and the...
  6. Funding for EC

    If you have not enrolled yet, come july there will be package pricing for enrollment, practice exams, nursing exams, fcca, graduation fee for 1550 for the first year - and it can be split into as many as 12 monthly payments. If it takes longer than ...
  7. I know this has been asked before - but I spoke with someone at EC today about getting credit for nursing courses. The process: the syllabus must be submitted from the course at least 80% of the content must match the content of the EC exam A grade o...
  8. https://www.excelsior.edu/Excelsior_College/Financial_Aid_and_Costs/Fees_and_Tuition/Associate_Degree_Nursing_Fee_Options/Associate_Degree_Nursing_Fee_Option_Year_Two this page explains what happens for year 2 Basically if at the end of year one: you...
  9. Thank you so much for posting the link - I still have a little trouble navigating the EC site. OMG - this is like the best thing ever - you can even do a payment plan & retake exams if necessary (hopefully not - just saying though) & all of t...
  10. What about practice tests? Can more than 4 be included? Even 4 is a great deal - just curious.
  11. Which publishing company?

    Thank you for all your replies - I think I just got nervous, because I have a lot going on right now and am afraid of failing - but we keep forging ahead if that happens. I think I will look and see what is available on ebay for each particular exam...
  12. Which publishing company?

    Ok, so I know plenty of people have passed and did well without using any of the publishing company materials. I think I might want to use one because I think I may need some extra direction - and I always am more successful when I have a focused, o...
  13. Question about school supplies

    As far as the stethoscope is concerned it really depends on the person. I am unable to hear well with some of the cheaper ones. I first had a Littmann Classic II SE - that I really liked, but during clinical it did grow legs. I then bought the 40$...
  14. ACCEPTED TO EC!!!!

    So, how long did it take for you to get it and did it come in the mail or was available first on the website? I am getting really antsy and I want to move forward. They got my transcripts on the 18th of May, but they say it should take 6 weeks. I ...
  15. clinicals?

    Also, I think it is important to mention all of the paperwork or "preplanning" that can sometimes add stress to nursing students. I think that was one of the most difficult things for me as far as clinicals are concerned. Not the difficulty of work...
