I passed! Just completed my writing exam through UExcel and I passed with a "C". I thought that I completely bombed this one because writing is NOT a strength of mine. This was my very first exam and I am really hyped! 4 credits down and only 60ish to go!:yeah:

mrstookielpn 165 Posts Specializes in Peds,Corrections, Dialysis, LTC. May 25, 2011 Thanks beachnurse...Analysis and Interpretation of Literature is next then maybe transition. I don't really have an order to my madness. I think some of these exams can build on each other (psychology and life span psych) so I am trying to figure out how to plan my exams in order to maximize my study time.
BeachieRN84 720 Posts Specializes in Tele/Neuro/Trauma. Has 8 years experience. May 25, 2011 A&I Lit is a good choice, Life Span Psych really isn't so bad and if you need Sociology too (I clepped that) there is alot of overlap there. I took LS Psych and Sociology within 2 weeks of each other. All I have left is A&P and Micro, but once you are within 10 credits you can take the CPNE :-)I did not take the nursing exams in any kind of order, I just did what came to me LOL... I did Transition, H&S, LS3, Chronicity, LS1, Reproductive, and lastly LS2. LS2 by far the worst and Transition the most boring. :-) Good luck!

I need EVERYTHING as I have no transferring credits. I did complete (and pass) Information Literacy through Penn Foster. I have seen a lot of chatter here regarding Ls 1,2&3 so i am expecting to have to dig deep through those.
