Coming up for air....

[The Limey]

I literally just graduated, passed NCLEX-PN and landed a job at a sub-acute center where I've been for a little over 2 weeks and loving it. Just enough time to come up for some air before diving back down into the books again for RN through excelsior. I looked into TCN (and then looked away. It was good for some information though.) Will be buying study guides off ebay.

So, I need all of my general education requirements:

English Composition

Life Span Dev. Psych

Sociology ©

Anatomy& Physiology

Microbiology

Ethics

College Algebra ©

Technical Writing (d)

The ones marked with © or (d) are the exams that TCN told me that I could CLEP or Dante's but I'm wondering about the others. I see that there is a CLEP exam for English Composition for example. Does Excelsior college not accept it?

I'm just wondering how much of the above I can CLEP before I have to suck it up and pay the enrollment fee and the more expensive exam fees...

Thanks in advance.
