Finally going to do lpn to rn program

I've been a lpn for eight years and I'm finally going to start working on my rn with Excelsior. I'm so nervous and confused. I've been searching through the information on this board and its overwhelming to say the least. I have to do all my prereqs I already know that. From what I gathered I can do those and test out with clep or Uexcel or something to that extent. My question is where does one get good study material to do this? Also I've seen some post of people taking online General ed courses as well if anyone could give more info on how to do that I'd appreciate the help. This is so confusing. I talked with a rep from Excelsior but I felt pressured to enroll. I just don't want to do that until my general ed classes are done considering I have so many to take.
