   I thought NC 5 was hardest! Maybe because I don't deal with much behavioral health stuff... or metabolic issues as an RT. I studied about 3 hours a day for 1.5-2 weeks or until I felt comfortable (sometimes I rescheduled for 2 weeks later). I alwa...

    frogstomper9762 replied to chattahoochie studen's topic in Online Learning

    I don't know much else at this point. From what I understand...... Its a good idea to take the "pre test" for the NC courses when you START studying. I started studying and took the pre test yesterday. I got a 66% on it. I don't know how that com...

    frogstomper9762 replied to chattahoochie studen's topic in Online Learning

    molsen- Excelsior is legit. College Network is not a school but a publishing company that sells study materials. Go directly through Excelsior! If you want study materials other than "Excelsior Recomended" you can get them on Ebay. Im just starti...
