Just wanted to say hello to eveyone on the board :)
This forum has been a companion resource for me from the beginning of my Excelsior journey ( started a year and a half ago) , and so many posts on here have helped to guide me as I figured my way around the many pre-req.'s and fundamentals I had to clear. I have now reached the fcca and cpne 'hurdle'.
Continuing to read all of your posts, as I try to make more sense of the elusive fcca. I have already signed for the course ( intend to do both at the same time),and asked a few questions about the format from my advisor, but I understand there is only so much they can tell me. So just following the guide and hoping for the best!
Thanks for reading!

I'm on the same boat with you!! Started FCCA May5th! Freaking out a little bit about fcca because I underestimated how hard this class could be!! I got study materials from studyguide101 and its a lot to read!! I'm hoping I could get through all the materials before the finals exams on 8th week!! Well good luck to you:)
Hi LPN2RNLIZ,
Six classes is'ent too far away- before you know it, you 'll be here too! I have to admit I had a bit of a mini-shock to see the fcca guide posted to my MyExcelsior page.
Hi maleNurseGB,
Are you doing both sections together? I start June 30th, so I have a little time to prepare.I have soooo many questions about it, though!
I understand you can call the advisors anytime ( and as many times, lol!) during the course- did you do that?
From what I have been reading, it is 'doable'.
Remember to follow the guide!

Welcome & we look forward to reading about all your success!!! Good Luck!!!
Hi princetonrn
I'm taking both FCCA classes together. With me working FT/OT, I need to find more time to read and study but other than that it is doable. Also I would say fcca is all about the clinical experience you had as an LPN. I spoke to an EC advisor in the beginning of this course. They are very helpful.
Well good luck to you:)
