  3. Would you take the exam or push it back with this prediction test scores?

    NurseHopefulInOH replied to julsca's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have only done the ATI predictor and Uworld normal tests so I am not familiar with how the predictors work. Is that 68% chance of passing or 68% as a general score on the

  5. LS1-3 by May?

    NurseHopefulInOH posted a topic in Excelsior College

    Is it ridiculous to try to may the May deadline for the FCCA if I start studying this week? Would mean testing every 3 wks or so. I have studied for LS1 before but I'm sure I will need refresher. I...

  6. Studyguide101 or books??

    NurseHopefulInOH replied to NurseBinWA's topic in Excelsior College

    I use both and prefer to read the text first in the books and feel it gives a more complete picture for better understanding. I bought my books on Amazon. Most were cheap as I don't buy the latest...

  7. A&P in one test or two

    NurseHopefulInOH replied to Denise Bee's topic in Excelsior College

    I just took this exam and it was not that bad. The practice exam had me very concerned and in fact I got a 50 and a 55 on it [emoji15]. The test however was much more basic. If u did a&p in LPN...

  8. A&P in one test or two

    NurseHopefulInOH replied to Denise Bee's topic in Excelsior College

    I would suck it up and do the 6 credit HR test. It's a lot of material but I go back and review often and in the end it all kind of comes together all the systems working together that it is much...

  9. LS1-3 by May?

    NurseHopefulInOH replied to NurseHopefulInOH's topic in Excelsior College

    NurseHopefulInOH replied to MommaNurse26's topic in Excelsior College

  12. Excelsior Pace

    NurseHopefulInOH replied to AbigailJo's topic in Excelsior College

    In my opinion I wouldn't do it. Unless you live very far from a testing center I'm not sure how much time that would even save you. The first few nursing exams I probably could have done 2 at a time...

  14. "Care Manager" for National Care Management/Humana

    NurseHopefulInOH replied to NurseHopefulInOH's topic in Case Management

    They claim it is taken care of in the flat rate of $45/HR. It's not a typical home care job so I'm just kind of skeptical as well! I can choose my clients so I can pick ( if there are any ) clients...

    NurseHopefulInOH replied to hell0nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Students
