  2. Finally ready to talk about my CPNE experience 3/25/2011

    MissingMyErica replied to MissingMyErica's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Day one: Got to York Hospital about an hour before I needed to be there and just read over my mnemonics for my skill stations. I just closed my eyes and pictured myself doing them over and over....

  3. Excelsior Exams and Saunders

    MissingMyErica replied to BishopLPN's topic in Excelsior College

    The reason I liked the NCLEX book is because it is so condensed. In my opinion, I think the reason people never finish excelsior is because they become overwhelmed with the content of the recommended...

  4. Excelsior Exams and Saunders

    MissingMyErica replied to BishopLPN's topic in Excelsior College

    I used saunders to study for my nursing exams. I never bought books for the exams. I took the practice tests, then studied from the nclex book. I took an exam every 1-2 weeks until I was

  6. Nervous Nurse can't pass CPNE :)

    MissingMyErica replied to nurseymom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Xanax! I started taking it twice a day starting 2 weeks before CPNE. There is NO way I would have passed without it. I am super confident and I know my stuff. I took all my excelsior nursing exams...

  7. Finished Straighterline A&P

    MissingMyErica replied to MissingMyErica's topic in Online Distance Learning

    At this point I think I'm going to do Excelsior's BSN program. My ultimate goal is to get into the Frontier School of Midwifery, for my NP in family practice medicine. You have to have a year...

  8. Finished Straighterline A&P

    MissingMyErica replied to MissingMyErica's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Good luck on your exam! That looks like a bear of a test and I am so impressed with anyone that passes it. I've read comments about people discounting online and evaluation test A&P programs and...

  9. Finished Straighterline A&P

    MissingMyErica replied to MissingMyErica's topic in Online Distance Learning

    p.s. just because it is open book, does NOT mean you have enough time on the tests to look stuff up! I don't want to mislead

  12. Passed CPNE 3/25/11!!!

    MissingMyErica replied to MissingMyErica's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I used ALL of Rob's mnemonics, and his flashcards. I wrote out my mnemonics on the side of my paper during the skills station and I took my time and just did them step by step. I knew I had to pass...

    MissingMyErica replied to MissingMyErica's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for all the congrats! To answer the question about getting a CPNE date, you will test when you WANT to test. I picked a date and I got that date, so make sure you don't put a date that is...

  14. Excelsior ADN and Straighterline

    MissingMyErica replied to BeachieRN84's topic in Excelsior College

    So confusing, my advisor told me they DON'T accept it yet. I spoke to her today. Ugh...I need an answer, so I just emailed excelsior for clarification. I would rather take the straighterline exams...
