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

I believe you can take Health Safety, Health Differences (if required) and Transitions before you enroll. You can also take Info Lit before you enroll, but you might also consider the Penn Foster Info Lit -- it's much cheaper!

Congrats on passing the CLEP! I'll bet that wasn't easy.

Great job! That's a tough test! Congratulations on passing!

Yes, you can take a couple of the nursing exams before you enroll. Health Safety & Transition to the RN Role. I did those 2 in the last month. They aren't that bad.

I wish you well on your other tests!

From one of Excelsior's pages:

488 Essentials of Nursing Care: Health Safety

Students must be enrolled to take:

489 Essentials of Nursing Care: Health Differences
