How do I start Excelsior NC1?

MsPC · Apr 6, 2011

Logon to your My EC page.

Download the Content Guide for the Exam you are desiring to start.

>Resouurces>Exam Resources>Content Guides>Exam Content Guides>Nursing Exam Guides> Exam Title

Use the guide and whatever resources you would like to follow the content guide and note any information you think you will need that relates to the subjects mentioned in the content guides:

i.e. the suggested books and their readings in those books, Saunders NCLEX review book, etc.

Additionally you can use the practice exams on EC to test your knowledge before the exams, and use that to guage your learning and revise your study plan and goals.

I have enrolled in the college and I am waiting for my transcripts to be reviewed. I was told I can begin NC1 while I am waiting....how? I do not see anything about this when I log on. Help please!

You may be using some old information. There is no longer a "NC1" What you are looking for is Health Safety. From your MY EC page look at the top tabs and click on "register", then on the right hand side, look down and see a blue highlighted area you can click on for "exam registration" As long as you have enrolled(not just applied) you can take any of the eight theory exams. If you have only applied to EC you can still take Health Safety and Transitions to the RN Role. If you have sent them $75 you have only "applied" it's not until you have sent them $895(or $740 if military or prior service) that you are actually "enrolled". Don't confuse the two because you can not take more than the two exams I mentioned until you are actually enrolled. Good Luck.
