Passed EC NC1

Finally got my 1st test out of the way, I was stressed about taking a college course with no traditonal lectures and all self-guided studying. It is so hard to know what EC wants on the test. I will say the new EC practice exams were very helpful along with Lisa Arends CD's off of e-bay, and of course the Yahoo! groups. I now know how to study and what to study, I plan on passing NC2-7 over the next 4 months and get registered for the CPNE. I have a BS in Biology so I only have to two other courses to get the AS degree.

I will say that my 8 years experience/knowledge in EMS as a paramedic has paid of emmensily.

Well off to study for NC2, I wish all GL on there journey through excelsior, I think it is a great non-traditonal way to get better for your self in life without totally disrupting your life, especially when you have a family

One of the Paramedics that works with me at Union Ambulance went to the Arnot/Ogdon program, is a pretty good hospital from what I hear. Nice to hear from someone local!

1979Blazer, I really do like the Lisa Arends CD's, very well organized. I have used them along with Dr. Freys audio lectures and that along with the reading has helped me narrow my study habits down. My suggestion, buy just one of them the NC3 CD for 9.99 see if you like them. If you do she always has the others up 24/7 from what I see

Hey there,

I have passed NC1,3,4,5,6 with a combination of her notes, the practice tests (which I feel are WELL worth the money) and either a TCN guide (nc4 & 6) or the Saunders NCLEX-RN guide and I've gotten 1 B and the rest A's. Like Chris said, they're very well organized and really just get to the meat of what you need. I have found there are some things that are not covered in too much detail but you'll never get a hundred percent on everything without reading every page of every chapter that is recommended.

The notes have saved me a tremendous amount of time.

Good Luck to you.

Thanks so much for the reply, it is making me motivated! I am still very nervous about taking the NC1 exam. I am hoping to take it in about 2-3 weeks!!
