  1. Need advice- Failed Life Span 1

    I enrolled in the Excelsior RN program in April 2012; since that time, I have not made much progress. I was working as a floor nurse, then MDS coordinator, in a nursing home at the time, then became pregnant with my second child. I quit work to stay ...
  2. older edition of books

    your local half-priced book store is also good for snagging cheap texts :) or their website hbp.com
  3. older edition of books

    I agree with Reebok, you can get by passing these tests with just information you find online (like SG101) or brushing up on your LVN/LPN knowledge. I've done a combo of all three: SG101, old LVN class texts/notes and the recommended texts. I've foun...
  4. Passed Transitions today...WHEW!

    Congrats! I agree, it was very blah, blah, blah study material... glad to have put it behind me!
  5. Transitions to RN- Vent

    I found it hard to study for too... I pretty much had to schedule my test with Pearson a week away and told myself "OK, now you have a week to learn this, so lets do it!" I got a B, it wasn't so bad. I was just so relieved to get it behind me. When I...
  6. A&P at Excelsior College

    I'm also planning to use my LPN A&P book (I've been putting the test off and focusing on knocking out my nursing tests).... A&P is what it is, and there's really not much a difference in the texts besides presentation. Just match up the info ...
  7. Passed Chronicity!!

    I'm also studying for Chronicity, I've made all B's so far. I've been pretty happy with that so far, but now I'm starting to think, well, should I be studying a little more rigorously and making A's on these tests?
  8. Which classes should i take at CC if I want to be a CRNA?

    English shouldn't be a problem, I haven't heard of anyone c/o other classes not transferring, besides courses with labs. I regretted putting off my labs, so I know that's what I would do if I was in your shoes.
  9. Houston Hopeful Seeking Advice from Those in the Area

    Texas is in a funny spot with the whole educational tier right now. I live in rural central Texas, so I pretty much have to drive to Austin, Temple or College Station for any well-paying work. Houston seems to be hiring Associate-prepared RNs in the ...

  11. I've noticed they have had a satellite teaching site in College Station before, but all the sudden they don't have an clinical agreement with them? Is this going to change in the future, or are they not planning to do anymore clinical agreements in t...
  12. Enrolling into Excelsior LPN-RN

    Two months... it was really hard for me to study such dry material.... I'm sure its completely do-able to study for two weeks-1 month and pass. Its not a hard test, just really boring for me. Health Safety's study material has been easier for me to d...
