I didn't take Dev Psych, I took the CLEP Human G & D because it was much cheaper....$77. I used instacert and the REA guide. Good luck with Dev Psych!

Keeping this thread alive. I just scheduled Repro for Nov 14 but if I see a cancellation for the week before I may grab it, depends on how my studying goes this weekend! Good luck all. 4 more to go!

I got to the end(was CPNE eligible), got married, had 2 babies, procrastinated(2 years), lapsed in paying my annual student service fee(requiring me to re-enroll under new program requirements) and now have to take several exams over and some additional to be eligible for CPNE again and to graduate from the program...a hard lesson but I'm brushing myself and my study materials off and doing this. My plan is to complete the theory exams over the next 6 months(took 9 months the 1st time), then immediately upon eligibility, paying for and scheduling FCCAs & CPNE. I will not procrastinate again. I'm ready to grow professionally and this program is an awesome way to do so. I financed enrollment over 5 payments and I'm setting aside one shift a week to pay for the exams. I'll save more aggressively and may take out a loan to pay for CPNE(I also plan to take a workshop to prepare for CPNE)...I purchased some new study materials from Ebay and I'm ready to try again...Mission-LPN to RN 2014: )

I barely contacted EC in time to resume where I left off....I was on the verge of having to repeat statistics!!!!!:eek: Another couple of weeks and it would have been all over for me because there is absolutely NO WAY I will ever be able to repeat that class successfully as long as I live!!:no:

Congratulations on the new family!!!:D Good luck with the program!!

Just registered with Pearson Vue and paid for NCLEX-RN! Now playing the waiting game for Excelsior to send all my transcripts and everything... should take about 6-8 weeks I think plus however long it takes my BON to process. So weird not to have to study everyday, I feel like I have so much free time! :-)

Good luck to everyone. You will be done before you know it!

Congratulations! Thank you for showing us that there is light at the end of the tunnel:). Just realized that this was posted over 2 years ago.
