Hi Everyone,
I finally have an idea of what I need.
It's actually not bad, now I am really looking forward to getting this done.
I need:
Info Lit - NOT SURE HOW TO SATISFY THIS REQUIREMENT?
A&P 2cr
Micro 2cr
Science in support of Nursing 1 cr - NOT SURE WHAT THIS IS?
33 Nursing Courses - They will award me 3 credit for Health Differences, but I think I must enroll before the new year, I think they are going to stop waving this course for LPN's.
Thanks

Take Info Lit through Penn Foster.
The number is posted around here somewhere. It cost $100 and you can complete it in a couple of hours.

Penn Foster will no longer allow students to just take one credit -- they're required to take three credits minimum, which makes it nearly as expensive (and more effort) as taking it with EC. Just changed last month.
I had no idea.
Thanks for correcting me! :)
Sad that they would do that.

Info Lit is a one-credit class that EC offers. It's a course, not an exam, so it's more expensive than an exam, but it's a necessary evil. People used to take Penn Foster's version for $90, but Penn Foster now wants more money from you as well, and three credits' worth of classes ... you're better off with EC's Info Lit, I think. It's easy, and can be completed in a day or two. It's all about searching online, copyright laws, etc.
As far as the "sciences supportive of nursing," if you take EC's A&P and EC's Micro, you'll end up with a total of 9 credit between the two exams (6 for A&P, 3 for Micro), and that will cover that extra one credit for the "sciences supportive of nursing" area. I had the same requirement on my official eval back when I started. :)
Thanks a bunch for the info.
