Any Excelsior students in NY

Published

Hi, Guys

I will graduate from LPN school this month and I have decided to apply to Excelsior! I want to know if there is anyone that is newly starting Excelsior (preferably residing in New York City) so that I can have a study partner or study group. I will like to finish all the classes needed before a year (8/2013).

In September I plan on taking the 2 classes that can be taken before enrollment.

Hey everyone, when do we want to start this study group? Gena, you are the original poster that started this thread so feel free to let us know when and where. IMHO, I think a center location spot would be somewhere around Grand Central Station since many of us will be traveling via metro north. At least that's what's good for me. Lol. How often should we meet? What day?

G8, that sounds like a plan. I've been told Health and Safety is just a review and not many people study for that test. But IDK. I think I'm going to study for every exam.

Hi,

I would study for ALL the exams, regardless of your background. Health Safety can be tricky, so following the content guide that excelsior provides would be a great way to begin studying.

Lots of people try to cut corners and end up failing the exams - as you can read throughout allnurses. The exams in general are not easy. I have used the content guides for 6 of the 8 theory exams, and have not been misled.

Good Luck!

I'm ways away from the FCCA. Although I have 2 exams left, my personal life and bumps in the road are causing me to take a slow approach towards the finish line. I'd like to finish quicker, but life has it's challenges.

i think the cost will be the most challenging thing for me, but i will have to live like a bum for a while until i can complete the program i think i am going to start with the transition class so i can brush up on all my old nursing history stuff. good practice for studying but not too hard

I live in Brooklyn and am currently enrolled in Excelsior College. I also graduated from VEEB in 2011. Would love to be part of a study group in Brooklyn. I have already taken two exams and am on to my third. Still interested in a study group?
