I got my acceptance into Excelsior and now I am waiting to see if my classes will transfer. I have taken a bulk of the pre-reqs at my cc for the ASN program. I just need to complete my sciences. I am so happy I went thru with this decision to further my degree online. I have been stalking the EC threads for over a year and got the push when my co-worker broke the information down and told me how much she enjoyed it and of course the reviews here.
Specializes in LTC, Urogynecology, Nurse Management,.
Crystal,
Hey girl! So what are the pre req's that EC will allow me to clep, do you know? How do I clep? Do I have to enroll in another school for that or just pay a fee? Do you know if you have to buy study material for that too? I'm hoping to get started next week (need the money to do it first)...I know, I know...lots of questions!
I don"t like the uneasy feeling of being lost....(who does) I definately would like to keep in touch with you, to see how you are making out and for motivation for eachother.
This site is Great for that. Most everyone is really awesome with information and encouragement!
I think that tomorrow morning I will sit down after I send the kids off to school and map out my plan too, but I have to figure out my method first. Like what I can clep, and if I need EC's permission to clep or?????
If anybody knows this, please let me know. Need a gameplan really quick here. While I am so pumped up to get moving.
My husband walked out on us a few months ago for my best friend (another LPN) I am just now finding peace and finding strength in myself and my children. This has been a goal of mine and one that he didn't much care for. He always said I was trying to be better than him, when really I was trying to be better For our family. Now....I can fly! My children and I are worth it! I can't wait. I was a mess when he left but now I look at it like an opportunity, a blessing. I feel better and better everyday.
So yes, I believe we can do it! Please keep me posted as to your progress and any other info you may have, and I will do the same.
Hi Liz, you can clep all the preqs. Meaning you study on your own (find you source materials) which I bought (TCN) becouse I didnt know to try to find alot books. But again I'm not buying there nursing materials. So far I've completed Life span psy, Intro to psych, Intro Socialogy and nursing concept 1. I never stepped on foot in a class room for these class. I studied at home and then went to a testing center like Strayer University to take my exam. Thursday Im testing on an elective class (into to computing). Next I'm studing Micro and I will be testing on that ard Dec 4th. In Jan I am taking my English online at a local college here. So point is you can clep and take dantes exams to get your preqs done if you choose to. EC doesnt care how you get your preqs just as long as you get them. All the nursing is all EC classes and I do believe its best to use their resources for thier exams.
Your personal situtation sounds sooooo close to home. Hang in there you can so this!
