Not Enrolled Yet. Where Can I Find the EC Nursing Theories Content Guides?

Published

I'm looking for these PDFs online to review the requirements. I'm on the fence going down this route and about to buy resources

Are these guides only available to EC students? Anyone know where I can find them? Old ones are fine

thanks

A lot of the nursing guides for excelsior do not become available, IIRC, until you are eligible to start phase 1. Once all of your General Requirements to get the nursing portion going are met you will start in Phase 1, which includes Essentials of Nursing Care: Health Safety,Essentials of Nursing Care: Health Differences ,

Foundations in Nursing Practice and

Transition to the Professional Nurse Role.

Once you finish those 4 tests then Phase 2 opens up. This includes Lifespan 1-3 and Reproductive Health. Once you pass all 4 of those then Phase 3 opens up, which is the FCCA 1 and 2. Once you pass that you are eligible to apply and take the crown jewel of this journey, the CPNE which is Phase 4. Once that is passed congratulations you are a graduate nurse and will have your records forwarded to take the NCLEX to obtain your RN.

only available to EC students. read the nursing catalog and it explains what the program is all about. study group 101 has a list of required books either on the website or their facebook.

They are proprietary. There has been issues with unscrupulous "test prep" companies offering $$$$ to get updated guides so they can adjust their overpriced study guides. (Those that sell them risk breech of contract and academic dishonesty issues)

If you enroll you will get the study guides as you take the classes. Big bit of advice: DO NOT sign up for a third-party study guide, the guides that EC includes work like a syllabus and give you everything you need. Also, buy your books online from a reseller or Amazon or Ebay, Alabris, etc. Don't be afraid to buy an edition that is a year or two older than listed. They just move the chapters around and change some of the photos. Through all of my studying I had no current edition books and I had a 3.46 GPA at graduation. The big difference is that a new edition may be $200, last year's may be $40.

I actually did most of the online courses instead of the exam option and I loved it. I felt like studying for the test was a grind that would never end for me.
