Excelsior Health and Safety Exam

Published

Researching for study material. How do you feel about Chancellors study guides or TCN modules? I hear Pros and Cons on both. Which out weighs? I want to ace this exam, didn't pass transition to RN role.

I used study group 101 - I like their format and definitely their price! I've heard that college network and chancellor's don't always cover everything.

I used studygroup101 exclusively for all the nursing classes.

I have seen the tcn binders and I would have died if I had to study that stuff.

I will tell you, I absolutely LOVED the Chancellor's guides for the audio component! No other publisher has audio, which is goofy. I bought used guides on eBay, then sold them when I was done. I had an hour-long commute each way from my home to the ER where I worked as a tech, so I was able to get in a solid two hours of study each workday in a relatively painless manner. But the pronunciation of some of the medical terms drove me nuts on the Chancellor's audio, haha! Like the guy could NOT say larynx! If you can get past that, I think they're good.

Hi Flightmed, You are getting some great opinions on many different study resources. I bought all my study materials on Ebay... College Network modules, a Foundations text book, various Micro books, and some SG101 disks. Must be working... 5 exams done, 4 A's and 1 B! :) See what works best for YOU. Content Guides... a MUST. Practice Exams... another MUST!

You seem very enthusiastic about Excelsior College and I want to wish you GOOD LUCK!!

Thanks!!! I'm just getting started and had no study technique, other than following content guide as a syllabus, reading the text book and Excelsior practice exams. I've been searching for good study notes I can use along with my reading to be sure the material is understood and I'm actually learning. This way I should excel on exams no matter how excelsior question are written. I will look into each of these study resources. The goal is to exhaust the resources out there until I seek success... Thanks for being a motivation...
