I definitely used my LPN A&P book! Don't freak out too much about the Krebs cycle or anything too detailed. I used Lisa Arends CD, LPN A&P book and a book with a lot of detailed pictures (I like pictures! ;-)) and passed with a B.

I've been using SG101 as well. For those who used it for Health Safety, when I downloaded it, it was 1k+ pages. Some appears to be original material, some graphs or charts and some textbook pages. Did you study all 1k pages to pass??

Hello ladies! I'm not actually enrolled yet... I'm procrastinating till I've completed every test I can. Soon, that will only be transitions, I believe. I'm almost finished with prereqs, I just have A&P to go in about a week. Sarah, what are you...

Hello! I know a great home care companion based out of Plainville & Stratford if you are interested. They focus on pediatric home care. I enjoy it though it's not my FT job. I know they always need help! I'm originally from Indiana but I have liv...

Hello Jenn! Apple Healthcare is a pretty big LTC throughout CT. I can't speak for their character, pay or anything else. What area do you live in?

I'm in Connecticut studying for my LPN to ASN. I hope to take my CPNE in Albany! :)

I wish I knew this before I paid for the EC exam! Ty for the update!

How's it going so far? I feel like its hard for me to focus sometimes and though some of the subject matter is a review like I'm somehow not going to retain it !

Hrm.. I thought I had responded to this! But obviously not! I'm in Connecticut and doing Excelsior LPN to ADN/ASN. Currently I have micro, A&P and bio to do for prereqs. I took Penn Foster ENG103 online today (so easy and only $70!). I would love...

I found this CLEP and intro to Psych and Soc went pretty hand in hand! If you do well on it you pretty much have the others in the bag! I used REA books as well. I found them to be helpful but just as a review of what I learned from my LPN program! G...

Whoa I use a ton of exclamation marks

Hello! I too am doing the Excelsior program! I live in CT and could help you virtually or occasionally in person! I have the majority of my prereqs done! I still have A&P, micro, information literacy (I have a girlfriend who is a RN BSN to procto...

Hello, I have been reading a lot in forums. I'm hoping to finish up all of my prereqs within the next two months and move on to the nursing components of the EC program. I have seen that some people have just used MyStudyGroup 101 guides with the EC ...

I'm currently going to school through EC. I originally was going to sign up with TCN but realized they are just an overpriced publishing company. As previously mentioned, you do not have to transfer anything from TCN to EC as TCN just gives you their...

Hello my nursing friends! I am working my behind off trying to get my CLEP general ed requirements for EC. So far I've CLEPed intro to sociology, intro to psychology and human G&D. In January, I signed up to do natural sciences and humanties, and...

If I recall right, if you fail the exit exam I think you MAY get to retake it once, and/or retake mods 4 & 5. But I graduated in 2007 and have to admit to some PTSD from LT. :)

I am a Lincoln Tech graduate. I would like to congratulate you on taking the chance to further your education. However, for the most part, and not to be negative, but coming from a previous graduate, my time at LTI was the worse ever. My class starte...

I'm currently studying for the EC prereqs. So far I have taken Intro to Soc, G&D and Intro to Psych. I have mainly used the CLEP REA books to study which have been pretty helpful... some more than others. The intro to Soc book was rough but I pas...

Congratulations! What a great accomplishment!

Thank you ladies!

Hello, I was looking on Ebay for my EC testing books, etc. I saw this StudyGroup101 that sells CD Roms or digital downloads. The price of the information is only like $10 (at least for A&P). I was a bit shocked at how inexpensive it was. I think ...

Hello gals! I have the CLEP exam this next Friday, March 6th for Sociology. I am getting kinda nervous because the grading seems kinda crazy and I feel sometimes like it's so simple but yet I feel so dumb. Any tips for passing this exam? It's my firs...

http://mystudygroup101.homestead.com/Credits.html Towards the bottom of this page it suggests a way to test out of INL. I personally haven't done it but it seems like an interesting option.

Thanks, I just started reading about LisaArends too. I wonder if both will do to pass. I heard from some fellow LPNs that I went through LPN school with that most of the stuff on NC is stuff we kinda already know and it's more of a review? I'm yet to...

I'm surprised that employers are looking at where she graduated from. In the long run what matters is the fact that she has her RN license. No matter how you get to the NCLEX, passing it makes you an RN just like everyone else.
