1. Excelsior : Chronicity!

   KassieLPN2RN replied to nurse_bear's topic in Excelsior

   Lynn - I used Studygroup101 for health safety - it was right on point - didn't like Lisa's, very hard to use with passwords and the background images. Also I would always spring for the practice exams - they will really give you a heads up on how th...

   KassieLPN2RN replied to NurseEmilie1's topic in Excelsior

   Excelsior is the way to go! Go directly through the college and you don't need to use the college network. I'm using sg101 and older textbooks and I have life span 3, fcca and cpne to go. Study at your own pace and set your own schedule and reason...

6. College Network/Excelsior Advice

   KassieLPN2RN replied to lilyfrog27's topic in LPN-RN

   Actually - You could have went directly through Excelsior and saved yourself quite a bit. The College Network overrates themselves, their material is not as good as it should be for the price and it's just cheaper to buy the real textbooks and go di...

8. New Excelsior Limitations

   KassieLPN2RN replied to NurseFair2009's topic in Excelsior

   Most other colleges I checked into will not let you transfer in any credits after you've enrolled - at least EC is giving you 7 ACE and as many CLEP/DSST as pertain, even after enrollment. The limit will only affect pre-reqs such as A&P, Micro, ...

9. Best Study Guide

   KassieLPN2RN replied to NurseFair2009's topic in Excelsior

   I studied my butt off for ANP and then when I took the test it just didn't seem to be that difficult - definately not as hard as I thought it would be. Focus more on physiology then anatomy.

    I bought a couple of the excel 4 sure - just some powerpoints and one quiz, not much there and not really worth it. IMHO

    Im using studygroup101, I think they are better than Lisa's and very affordable, they are on eBay too but they do have a website and you can get them as a download. I've done the first 5 exams and micro and anp with them. As soon as I save up some ...

    I'm using an older edition of the brunners med surg, taylors fundamentals and wong's peds books, I don't know what me OB book is, it's not handy at the moment, but also I also use studygroup101 who I think is fabulous for the price. I didn't use an...
