   silv27star replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior

   Neversaydiemedic, because of you, they didn't give you much of a choice when I joined the navy they just took out the $100, too many people didn't know what they were losing out on, and would never be able to get it back. Maybe you are eligible with ...

   Ok, now I am starting this up. With work-downs and getting ready for dry dock, time has been slipping from me. I need to strap on the seat belt, and lock myself in my room. I will knock out at least one test in October if it is the end of me!!!!

6. Transitions Test

   silv27star replied to Nibbles1's topic in Excelsior

   What do you call a nurse with a "C" average? A nurse. Take it, and learn from it, we can't beat ourselves up too much. I failed Transitions the first time I took it in January 2013, now I am back from deployment and have only taken 1 test between the...

   I am not boots on ground, but floating in the drink on a giant vessel. I have been studying up a storm. I luck out here because it is my Chief and myself that provide care to the 330+ on our small ship. We have aided with a few medical emergencies, a...

8. The Clinical Performance in Nursing Exam (CPNE): what the heck is this madness?!

   silv27star replied to Lunah's topic in Excelsior

10. starting again

    silv27star posted a topic in Excelsior

    Well, it has been a year since I started with Excelsior. It has been a while since I last posted also. A deployment got in the way. I failed my first test in January 2013 (Transitions) and passed my second (Safety) with a C. I only need the nursing ...

11. wasted money taking practice from excelsior recently?

    silv27star replied to OnlineSNA's topic in Excelsior

    It was frustrating at first to not see the other choices, but I have realized they showed the choices that really made sense to the question, it might be one answer, or three, but not all have to be present. Maybe I am just used to it now.

    Congrats to all those who passed the FCCA!!!

13. Health Safety

    silv27star replied to silv27star's topic in Excelsior

    For those that are taking health safety, you really have to stop and read the questions carefully, it is the wording that will get you!! I should say good luck, but if you want to be a nurse we can't always rely on luck, but hard work!!

14. Health Safety

    silv27star replied to silv27star's topic in Excelsior

    I passed Health Safety today! One down seven to go! I failed Transitions, the first week of January, so I am thinking of retaking that one as my next exam. I have been using Lisa Arends stuff, but I think I might switch to SG 101. I also have all the...
