Health Safety-Mystudygroup101

Nursing Students Excelsior

Published

Hi. I'm new to this site and new to Excelsior. I have chosen Mystudygrouo101 as core study material. I'm wondering what strategies work for others with this material. There is a lot of content and multiple practice exams. This is all helpful, but narrowing things down would be great. ANY tips are welcome and greatly appreciated!

Did you only use studygroup 101 guides? For everything? And what timeline did you use to get everything knocked out ? I'm getting ready to start my pre reqs next month thru excelsior before I enroll into the nursing program:)

Yes I used study group 101 as my only source to prepare for my nursing exams. From beginning prereqs to becoming FCCA eligible took 5 months. Hope to be finished with the FCCA by the end of this coming week. Then it's on to conquer the CPNE. However, take everything at your own pace. Make this RN journey your own. Good luck!

Did you use the studygroup 101 for the pre reqs too...? Because I'm honestly about to just use my A&P book from my LPN program lol. (Don't judge me). And perhaps by the study guides for the pre reqs.

And I commend you on your focus. You are trully an inspiration. Lol I want to be an RN by the end of summer 2014. I guess with all the time I have I should be able to knock it out...no real distractions?

I definitely used my LPN A&P book! Don't freak out too much about the Krebs cycle or anything too detailed. I used Lisa Arends CD, LPN A&P book and a book with a lot of detailed pictures (I like pictures! ;-)) and passed with a B.

Will do! I'm starting studying for A&P

I used TCN module and SG101 for H&S and I passed it. It has been the easiest so far!!! I am working on reproductive health now. Taking it in 2 weeks.

I am coming in a little late on this conversation, but I am in the same boat as ya'll. I just enrolled in the college and I am waiting on my Official Transcript. I know that I will need to retake A&P and Micro, so that is where I am going to start. @CLUVLPN if you don't mind me asking, how many pre-req did you have? I have a feeling I will have a majority of the ones required to do. I know my English is good and I am praying the humanities I have is good...I also have a few electives that hopefully will transfer. Has anyone taken their first test yet? How did it go? Good luck everyone!!!

Transition is the most boring material. Interesting/informative, but dry. It's like History I..... Blah

I took Health Safety and passed the exam. One thing I noticed while studying and comparing information from SG101 was that SG101 had a LOT of wrong answers in the practice exams. I highlighted a lot of differences between the textbooks and the SG101 information, and I'm sorry but some of the SG101 stuff was just plain wrong. I'm not sure how they are for Chronicity, but I think what helped me pass was using the materials from the recommended books (a lot of the questions were straight out of The Point online as well as the textbook study guides), and taking the EC practice exams. I honestly wouldn't use SG101 solely. Just my opinion. Everyone has different study habits. Good luck!

I used sg101 for all my exams so far, but I didn't find any wrong answers on the quizzes. The quizlet flashcards had some wrong answers, but that's quizlet not sg. If you report any wrong answers they will fix them, I think. I had a question on a quiz for reproductive and kay gave me the page and paragraph with the answer.

from the textbook that is, so I could look it up and see that it was correct.
