EC-Rate the exams/courses

Could you tell me what exams/courses were the "easiest" & which were the "hardest"? I am probably going to start next year so I want to get a good idea of the exams/courses & be prepared. Thank you!

Phase 2 is more difficult than Phase 1. Most students find the last two to be the most difficult.

What is Phase 1 & Phase 2?

Phase 2 is the FCCA?

Could you rate the exams in Phase 1 from "easiest" to "hardest"?

If you don't know what Phase 1 and Phase 2 are, you need to download and read the nursing catalog from EC's website. I cannot stress this enough - it is so important to understand how the program works before you jump in! This eliminates later confusion and frustration as certain fees come up, such as the student services annual fee and the graduation fee, for example.

Phase 1 and 2 pertain to the nursing exams. The FCCA comes after, then the CPNE.

What was easy or difficult for me will be totally different for you. EC students are all healthcare providers with varying experience, so what I thought was easy (Lifespan 3, for example) is one very often failed by other students.
