  1. studying practice exams?

    erinp88 replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I felt the practice exams were a crap shoot. Sometimes you got the same questions on your real tests and other times I didn't recognize a thing. I also thought the practice exams were harder. I...

  2. How long does it take to complete info literacy via excelsior?

    erinp88 replied to WEST1014, RN,BSN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did Penn Foster. Just wrote about it a few days ago. Not bad. I did it after a late night out and while watching a football game. They sent me an official transcript in a week which I immediately...

  3. I have a CPNE date!

    erinp88 replied to lisamc1RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Lisa - everyone is freaking out on the EPN because the office is closed! I feel bad for the weekend testers! Winter is another reason I didn't do a workshop. I can tolerate a little bit of winter...

  4. I have a CPNE date!

    erinp88 replied to lisamc1RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm dying to check my graduation date now! I didn't know I could do that! But, its Wednesday and Excelsior is down from 5-7!! 6 more minutes! I hope birthdays are good luck! Mine is shortly after the...

  5. CPNE tutor? Is one available ?

    erinp88 replied to Lisa1980's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, I'm the Erin P that is everywhere!! Except the blog these days. No time for it during the last few

  6. Weekday CPNE?

    erinp88 replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    NPAC offers mid-week testing I believe. Something about no nursing schools being around. I would have loved to go mid-week! Something about the weekend makes it even that much more stressful to

  7. Info Lit VENT!

    erinp88 replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Good luck! I had an old CO 101 class and I never thought to do that. However, it didn't include all of the library crap that was in the Penn Foster

  8. CPNE tutor? Is one available ?

    erinp88 replied to Lisa1980's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There is a retired CE providing tutoring in Atlanta. She is only doing it through word of

  9. Info Lit VENT!

    erinp88 replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took it through Penn Foster. I think it took me about 2-3 hours. I did it after a night out and while watching a Detroit Lions game (frustrating). I ended up with a 90 which transferred in as a B....

  10. CPNE Grid

    erinp88 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    When at the CPNE, did you completely write out your mnemonics on the grid or just the first letter? I want to keep my planning phase short, but obviously do not want to miss anything during...

  11. CPNE Grid

    erinp88 replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Oh boy! I thought the first PCS would be ok since I would already have my care plan

  12. Passed Lifespan 3!!

    erinp88 replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yay! It'll be such a relief when you get that last one done

  13. Lisa Ahrens notes Vs. Studygroup101

    erinp88 replied to WestPalmLPN's topic in Excelsior College

    I used both Study Group 101 and Lisa Arends at some point during my Excelsior exam preparation. Not a fan. It takes a lot to impress me though. I felt both sets of notes were sporadic, unorganized and...

  14. CPNE Grid

    erinp88 replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks! I keep telling myself 1 person, 2 1/2 hours. Work = 20-40 people 8 hours and I always get done on

  15. Saved Chronicity for last...

    erinp88 replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm not going to lie. I'm preparing for the CPNE and I don't feel as if I know THAT MUCH MORE than 2 years ago when I started this program. That's great you want to 'learn' the stuff, but there's...

  16. Transition :(

    erinp88 replied to sunshineprn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I found an old post that detailed the course/exam equivalencies. allnurses apparently doesn't like my Word 07' documents so here they are on google:...

  17. Transition :(

    erinp88 replied to sunshineprn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Is transitions NC 7? If it is, I just looked and I saved all my NC 7 notes. I can attach the files if you

    erinp88 replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yikes! NC 3 was a long time ago for me! I didn't think it was too terribly bad. That was one of the ones I studied about 2 weeks with a TCN module and got a B. Sorry I can't help you

  19. Saved Chronicity for last...

    erinp88 replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Do you know what that is equal to in the old curriculum? Is that NC 5? If it is, that was the one I saved for last too. After it was all said it done, I felt it was over-hyped. I wasted lots of time...

  20. Passed CPNE in Albany (AMC) 1/17, No Retakes!

    erinp88 replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just got off the phone with Excelsior faculty. They absolutely recommend using a grid and find students who don't use them have time management issues. Organization is key! Thank you Equusz for...

  21. Sherri Taylor's online workshop

    erinp88 replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I will! Just discovered dry erase markers and sheet protectors work together! I have always been a big fan of both, never thought of combining

  22. Sherri Taylor's online workshop

    erinp88 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Has anyone completed her ONLINE WORKSHOP? Looking for feedback! I understand she's not an Excelsior grad, but I'm over that at this point.. and what's another $150! I'm taking some of the online ones...

  23. Sherri Taylor's online workshop

    erinp88 replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think I am getting there!! I feel like I turned the corner today! Now it's practice, practice, practice! Oh, and did I mention I haven't memorized mnemonics yet? ha! I am good with memorization, so...

  24. Sherri Taylor's online workshop

    erinp88 replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I test the weekend before and I am not testing in the SPAC. I'm in the MPAC! Thanks for the info! Sounds like lots and lots of success down in the SPAC. Everyone I communicate with has excellent...

  25. I have a date

    erinp88 replied to TiffanyRN!!'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    Good for you! Mnemonics have been one of my (many) areas of slacking! I can't decide on what I want. I go back and forth from making my own to looking at others. The created ones are all too elaborate...
