NEED HELP!! New Excelsior Student

Nursing Students Online Learning

Published

Hello guys,

I have finally put my mind to it & decided to go thru excelsior. Its no other way for me to obtain my RN with 2 young children. I know I can do it but I guess I am just scared of the unknown. The bridge programs in Texas are practically nonexistent. :banghead:

I am just looking for any helpful info, tips, anything to help me along with excelsior. Also I will be under the new curriculum so any tips on the changes will be great.

So what you used to study, usual study time for your exams, any tips on how to pay for this thing (Ouch!), or just words of encouragement.

I look forward to your advice!

:wink2:

Specializes in EMS, ED, Trauma, CEN, CPEN, TCRN.

I know EC has practice exams for Micro. Not sure about Gerontology.

Congrats on your decision to move forward with Excelsior. Remember, for every exam that you pass, you're one step closer to finishing. Really. I enrolled in 2006 and DID NOT start taking exams until 2008. When I think of all the wasted time, student service fees, etc., I get sick. However, each time I passed an ECE exam, I would pay for and schedule another. It took me 5 months to do 8 exams. Just like Lunah, and many other wonderful RN's on this forum, I recommend you pay for and take the ECE practice exams. It's a great tool for information and requirements for all exams. Finishing and becoming an RN through this program seems so distant, yet it's not. I still have CPNE and boards to accomplish, however, without this forum, I don't think I would be as far along as I am.
