I am planning on getting my ADN through Excelsior, but was going to start studying on my own for the next couple years before I will be able to enroll. I thought that I would slowly start buying the books that I need and start studying. Does anyone feel that they were greatly helped by the study guides that were available through chancellors, rue etc? Or can you get the info by following the content guides? Since I don't plan to enroll for quite a while, I wondered what the most effective route of studying would be. Also is it possible to find these study guides used, just to supplement the books and if so any clues where to look? Finally once enrolled what services do you have access to that may greatly improve your chances of success, i.e. does Excelsior have their own study aids to help with the "classes" that are available to students?
