  2. Health and Safety exam

    I am also studying for Health Safety.I am using rnbridge.com, Excelsior content guide and study group 101 cd. I wish I had a study buddy though.
  3. Enrolled in the excelsior program

    Thank you Lunah!! I never thought of that. I don't know how to use that program, but I'm sure going to check into it. I have found, with previous education, that having a study buddy is the best way to go. Do you know what the "other programs" are li...
