Can someone please post how the micro exam is, how long does it take to complete and also how long did u study for it before you felt comfortable to take the exam. Thanks!

Congrats!! What did u use to study?

Can someone lend some direction on this, especially the arts and science electives, humanities, etc. What would be the best to take (clep) to satisfy these requirements. Written English Requirement 3.00 semester hours in Written English Humanities D...

Still nothing for New York State?!?!

I've been reading this post on this particular forum for a few days now. Heres my take on EC. I live in Albany, very close to EC. I've inquired on their nursing program, paid my $75 dollar fee, sent in a copy of my license. That would be LPN license....

Hi; Any students from the Albany New York area? After weighing my options about EC and traditional college, I have decided to enroll in EC. Any guidance would be appreciated

Yes ur absolutely correct. It was the application fee not the enrollment fee.

Thank you to all that have posted. Now I'm really confused. I've been an LPN for 13yrs, I can remember being tested on a bed bath and the overwhelming feeling I experienced in being watched.......Yes a simply bed bath. I have picked up many bad habi...

I'm a lil confused. I live in Albany and never heard of Samaritan nor Albany memorial offering a 12 month transition course from LPN to RN. If this is true, I would have did this yesterday. Do u happen to have a link with this info?

Well Ive been thinking long and hard. I paid the 75 dollar enrollment fee and I have since had second thoughts.... That darn CPNE scares the bejesus out of me. I just cant take a chance of going through the entire program to think I could pay 2000 bu...

Wow! Thats fabulous! I have the material am trying to motivate myself to study. I just paid the $75 enrollment fee. I hoped to test out in 2-3 wks. I better get going............Lol!

HI all; Does Excelsior college now charge $75.00 to apply? :angryfire

I agree with all colleges charge an entry fee. I live 15 mins away from Excelsior, right here in good ole Albany, NY. At the time I personally went to the school for info. No application fee what-so-ever. Honestly. As for enrollment, now thats anothe...

Thanks for the "quick" come back. 3 years ago, I started Excelsior. At that time they didn't charge one iota. So I guess...They now do :-)

Anyone know what Maria college, Albany, NY, RN-LPN Transition program is like?

Good luck and yes, soak it up.

Cheating is defined as writing down answers to questions that don't belong to u. Notching a pencil, in my opinion goes along with part of the learning process. Call it what you want. As stated, I took the test twice prior to passing. Tia

This pre-test has always been there, At least in NY. The test generally starts out easy and gets more difficult as u proceed. Make sure you read everything prior to starting. I had to take the math section twice. Simply because I didn't read the dire...

Hi all; I am starting the RN program with excelsior college. I've been an LPN for 10yrs with tons of geriatric experience behind my belt. Curious to know whats the best first prereq to take. I was thinking A&P. Any comments? I have no previous cr...

Thanks; Excelsior college has no math to take. However, I would think one must know math prior to taking any nursing course. I thought A&P because in my opinion seems like one of the harder exams. In LPN school, I learned your basic A&P, I th...

Hi all: Any advice on how to deal with a mean LPN, who happens to hold the same title as me. For I am an LPN also. This LPN has been one for 27yrs. Me 9yrs. She's sarcastic behind my back, tells others I don't know what I'm doing. when in fact I am c...

I do get your point. And your sooooo right. I do in all honesty feel sorry for her. Thanx so much! Tia
