Any experienced with distance LPN-RN bridge?

Nursing Students Online Learning

Published

I am sure that I am not the first to ask, but everyone's experience here is so valuable.

I am just starting the LPN-RN bridge via Excelsior and got my study guides for the gen ed classes that I am short. I am studying to take the microbiology test now. Anyone have any experience with the information/test? I just would like to be reassured that it is not going to be a horrible test where I am left staring at the screen in total ignorance.

Also, how long did it take to study the material. I am hoping that I can get an idea of what to expect.

I am very excited about this new adventure. And I am terrified!

Thanks to all inadvance.

Brookah, Wow! I'm proud of you with your diligence and hard work! Must be nice to be near the end. Did you work while studying? How long did it take you to do the nursing courses? I work 40+ hours/week; I'll have to fine time to cut my hours. I'm short a few generals and thinking of doing Clep and then start the nursing courses. Applied and waiting for EC response.

Let me know the date of your CPNE, you will do fine you're already a pro!

When you look for EC study material on ebay, remember to type "Excelsior College" in the search box at the top of the page. Study notes are always offered there to include those by studygroup101, lisa arends, and occasional offerings of TCN (College Network) study guides. I just looked on ebay and there is a TCN guide for micro for sale today.

You can also use the files sections on the yahoo groups. Another good source is the website http://www.flashcardexchange.com. I am currently accessing a >800 card collection on NC4. Awesome. Good luck with your studies.

Callotter3,

Thanks so very much for the info. I will look for the micro. However, I have tried to get onto Yahoo groups and it doesn't appear to let me and says that I have to be a student of EC. I will check again and see if I can get on. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
