Michigan EC students?

Hey! I am in West Michigan and enrolled in EC... I take NC 1 this Saturday and have not put that much energy into studying! I am a nervous wreck!

I'm a little concerned about job opportunities after I graduate... What about you?

Hey Erin---Steve here. Great to hear from you. I was waived NC1 and 2, so 3 will be my first real exam as well, sched for the 25th. I get all of my materials from Rue Education in Florida--where I moved here from---long story, they're pretty good: oodles of practice quizzes and exams. I've seen the EC stuff and at least for the way I tend to study, the Rue mats. are better (RueEd.com, 888.479.2797).The Rue mats are expensive at around $2,700--my monthly is $116, so that's a big one to consider. For me, the best way to study, at least at this point, is practice test practice test practice test--just like many NCLEX prep programs (eg. Kaplan).Just with book studying, my brain goes numb in short order. Try this one too, it was linked on the AllNurse site (ebay my world study group 101). Haven't been on it yet, but it seemed to be well spoken of--it is a fee for service thing.

I'm not concerned about work yet--one disaster at a time!

Steve,

You're right.... one disaster at a time! You're lucky NC 1 was waived for you. I take it this Saturday! Yikes! Then it's on to NC 3... I used a TCN study guide for NC 1, hoping it works. I buy them used on ebay. I got outbid last minute on my one for NC 3.. ugh! So.....good luck on NC 3, let me know how it goes!
