  1. I passed the CPNE!!!!

    Spazzy Nurse replied to BBFRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes you are. For some reason I was never able to find it either when searching for it. Here's a link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rnstudygroup/ There is an ultra cool picture of me in the photo...

  2. College Network LPN to RN

    Spazzy Nurse replied to Robinlyn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You don't even need to buy ALL of the books EC recommends. I bought a used Fundamentals of Nursing (very good for CPNE study too) and I used a bunch of my LPN school books.... med surg, A&P,...

  3. Sent my application to Excelsior today!!!

    Spazzy Nurse replied to Ashera's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Another thing you can do is try going directly through EC. If you absolutely hate it (you won't) then you can try the publishing company route. It's cheaper than starting with a publishing company and...

  4. College Network LPN to RN

    Spazzy Nurse replied to Robinlyn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The publishing companies sell their study systems for $300 and up, for each and every study system. 300 x 7 NC courses is an extra $2100 that you wouldn't have to spend. As Barbiedee said, you still...

  5. Distance learn BSN program

    Spazzy Nurse replied to cschuess's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm with Barbskie--- I don't know much about the U of Phoenix, but I guess it's big bucks, and I'm sure other programs are comparable. There is one through the U of South Dakota that someone I know...

    Spazzy Nurse replied to northernnyLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  9. What's Your Study Schedule/Tips?

    Spazzy Nurse replied to RN2B2009's topic in Online Distance Learning

    For my NC and gen ed exams, I would do what Kim does--- I'd set test dates. I'd putz around, studying for a couple of hours here and there up until I had 2 weeks left. Those last 2 weeks I would jam....

    Spazzy Nurse replied to BBFRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yaaaaaaaay Opalm! You've been talking about it for a while now. Congrats on jumping in! I'll attend the CPNE prep class but I can't teach. The part of my brain that stored CPNE knowledge has turned...

  13. A case of ?Borderline Personality Disorder-pl help!!!

    Spazzy Nurse replied to sans's topic in Psychiatric

    Are you thinking of dissociative identity disorder (previously known as multiple personality disorder)? It seems like you are by the way that you explain things (like "is it possible for her to commit...

  14. Okay, who is HAPPY with Psych and why?

    Spazzy Nurse replied to normj's topic in Psychiatric

    You're smart for getting a little med surg experience under your belt first. I didn't and I knew I'd lose so many skills, but I loved psych and didn't care. Don't forget--- a hospital isn't the only...

  15. For all you future CPNEr's- a New Website

  16. Sent my application to Excelsior today!!!

    Spazzy Nurse replied to Ashera's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Welcome to EC Land! I second Large Florida Minivan's advice..... jump into A&P. It's not the easiest exam, but if I passed it any moron can (and since you're not a moron, you'll have no problemo)....

  20. I passed the CPNE!!!!

    Spazzy Nurse replied to BBFRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hey, maybe Phoenix rep has changed. It used to be known as top notch. Sorry if I gave you wrong info. The notes from the boards are GREAT to study from. It's also great to read peoples' CPNE tips...

  21. Excelsior Pass Rate?

    Spazzy Nurse replied to MiaLyse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I used a couple of these while studying for my NC exams too. Great study

  22. Excelsior Exams?

    Spazzy Nurse replied to Steven McCullum's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That's right--- a way will be found. :) I echo the others when they suggested calling the EC financial aid dept. Give it a whirl. Plus, there are scholarships up the butt out there...... strange...

  23. Excelsior Exams?

    Spazzy Nurse replied to Steven McCullum's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can buy used CLEP study guides online (check out half.com, Amazon, Brnes and Noble, etc.) or at most bookstores for fairly cheap. I think mine for the Sociology CLEP was $28 new, but you can find...

  24. Chris-the-girl-at-lucas!

    Spazzy Nurse replied to Spazzy Nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    :rotfl: Love it, Featherz!! But since we're on the topic of oldies still hanging around, I agree with you and Cindy. EC (Regents) and the CPNE had such an impact on our lives, it's a little hard to...

  25. Excelsior Pass Rate?

    Spazzy Nurse replied to MiaLyse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    "Excel Advantage" (no affiliation with Excelsior College whatsoever) is a publishing company that makes study materials for Excelsior College exams. They also have a hokey CPNE "bootcamp" that they...
