Making sure I am doing this right

I have already put one post on here that a few people have given great responses to.

If I could get someone that is or has been an EC student to read this and give me some feedback I would greatly appreciate it.

I am currently a LPN, I have applied to EC and received my unofficial evaluation for the associates in applied science program. Here is what they say that I need....

written english

2 humanities

life span development psych

a&p

micro

sciences supportive of nursing

free elective or additional arts and sciences

INL 102

essentials of health safety

" " chronicity

" " repro health

health differences 1,2, & 3

transition to registered professional nurse role

FCCA

and of course CPNE

What I am trying to figure out is which can I CLEP? Of the ones that I can't am I correct in saying that I do not have to take the course just the exam and it is a good idea to take the practice exam also? And how far can I go before I have to enroll and start paying the enrollement fee?

As far as the financial portion is concerned how does it work with scholarships or loans if I am taking the classes but not enrolled?

I am looking for the fastest, smartest and least costly way to do this.

Thanks a million in advance for any and all help.

You can take the first nursing exam and as an LPN are exempt from the second nursing exam. You can not take the third exam and above without being enrolled. I would take the other missing courses at a local community college or CLEP them before I enrolled, so that you spend the least amount of time enrolled as possible. You can work as fast as you can or can go at a slower pace, just as long as you finish within seven years. However, remember that if you procrastinate and drag things out, you have to pay a yearly admin fee to maintain your enrollment. That is why I recommend getting as much done as possible prior to enrolling. Also, there is quite a long wait (six or more months) to be scheduled for the CPNE. Many people use this time to finish up missing courses.
