I think I will tackle biochemistry

I start the RN to MSN in January too! Ready to get going!

Howdy from Houston, TX! I am a new RN, passed boards in November 2014! Yesterday I interviewed and was offered a position on a CV Intermediate Unit which I happily accepted! Now it is the aftermath and I am ******** bricks lol. I have been an LVN fo...

Thank you so much!!! Tomorrow is the big day. I know the first week is pretty much just hospital orientation but I can't wait to get in there!

I start on Monday so the jitters are definitely kicking in. Have you started your position yet?

I failed the CPNE in Albany in June and passed in Chambersburg 9/21/2014. I was prepared the first time after taking EC online conferences, online workshops, careplan classes AND advising phone calls/message center. In all of that money, time, and ef...

Hello all! I am just one requirement shy of completing my ADN through excelsior college and then its on to conquer the beast they call NCLEX! I live in Texas and was wondering if anyone is currently attending/has attended UTA's RN to BSN program and ...

My job and my wallet was my financial aid! I utilized the payment plans for everything except the exams. I paid straight out for those and took exams every 2 weeks. I used the payment plans for the enrollment and cpne. Too bad we can use it for the t...

I have spent approx $5500 for test fees, enrollment fee, and CPNE cost included. I used Studyguide 101 for the study material so that cost was the least expensive. My prereqs were completed prior so that helped save a bit of money and this is the sam...

October 18th until December 14th

I passed my FCCA finals tonight!!!!! I am so elated!!! There is only one more hurdle to bear and I will be and Excelsior graduate!!!! Thank you to everyone for the encouraging messages!!!

Thanks so much! I've completed all of my prerequisites through the local community colleges already but I was just concerned about the nursing theory courses. Well this helps with my decision then!

Congratulations!!!!! I know your are super excited to apply to the CPNE!!!!

I purchased Rob's cpne last month so I am definitely going to utilize that but also use Sherri Taylors stuff too. I haven't decided which region but Lubbock would be the closest since I am in Houston. I am definitely open to other regions!

I am currently enrolled in Excelsior. I hope to be done with the FCCA next week and began to submit my paperwork for the CPNE. Where are you currently in your program?

We are not allowed to discuss the FCCA in any detail, it is considered a collaborative effort which violates Excelsior's academic honesty policy. Sorry but I can not give you any information about it

I graduated from lpn school in May 2013, boards in June 2013 and started excelsior July 2013. I wasn't motivated in the beginning but being a new grad and not being able to find a job was all the motivation I needed. I currently work as a surg tech a...

Just passed LS 3 with a 'C' (hey I will take it)!!!! That test was ridiculously hard and I hate to say it but SG 101 was no help and neither were the practice exams!!! Doesn't matter now anyway but I will now sit back and enjoy my reward, a bacon che...

Received my FCCA eligibility email this morning. They processed it quick and start Monday! Super excited!

Check the Nclex pass rates on the Texas BON website, the one with the 100% pass rate is where you want to go. I attended Alvin Community College because of the 100% pass rate! Jess

Thinking of taking this exam, how was it? How did you prepare? Jess

I took my Nclex pn this morning at 8am. It shut off at 85 questions and I automatically freaked!!! I sprinted to my car and tried the PVT, got the good pop up!!! Check the BON site and my permit is still active, I have tried the PVT several times tod...

Wonderful to read an update from you, I was just reading an old post you started about LS 3 last night! I am currently prepping for LS 3 right now. Glad to read your success story and best of luck to you in all of your future endeavors!

An adult who will be out of twice the money! Cut the middle man out and go straight through Excelsior!
