From Never Having Taken A College Class in June to FCCA Bound!

Nursing Students Excelsior

Published

I completed 22 out 31 general education credits and all the nursing exams with Life Span 3 passed yesterday! All this was completed in about 5 months! I spoke to my advisor and she told me to look out for an email which will direct me on how to register for the January FCCA! I'm so excited to be one step closer to being an RN (hope to have license in hand by next Fall). Happy dance!:cat:

congrats!

Natnat122, I used studygroup 101 to reinforce the information that I already knew. About ninety percent of material on nursing exams I had committed to memory since I was taught the same material in my LPN program. The study guides were used only to clarify points that I was uncertain about; I did not study the entire guide word for word. This strategy helped me take one nursing exam per week with A's and B's on everything. I always live by the addage: Study smarter, not harder(ie, don't study material you already have mastered! Concentrate only on your weak areas). Hoped this helped a little. Good luck!
