Well, that would be me (though I took and passed NC-1 a week before that). I am a Paramedic, have been for 9 years with 3 years Emergency Medicine before that. I currently work on seismic oil exploration vessels so I have a bunch of study time on the...

Hello all. As you may have figured out, I'm a new enrollee in EC. I have been studying Chancellor's guide for NC 1 and really like the format. (The book side, haven't actually used the tapes). I have been looking but cannot seem to find anyone selli...

As was metioned, get in touch with EC directly, they will evaluate your current transcript, give you credit for that, and then you'll only have to take the exams to finish the program. The thing you are going to be hit with is that the requirements f...

While I was in the Army, the Chief Nurse for the ER was a man named Mike Funk. His rank, yes you guessed it, was Major. 'Yes sir Major Funk'. True story and a great nurse.

Wow, reading your story sounds like mine...years of looking, Oct 1 deadline...except I went as far as signing on with Chancellor's, pay them waaaay too much money for the thre guides I got before cancelling my contract. Like you, I'm on a budget. I c...

Grats! So that a good break test when the concepts exams get to be a bit mucho? I've been using Chancelors for NC 1 and feel pretty ready, now I just need to score the next 6.

Ok, I took my first one today. It's M2RN said. I will add a couple points for you though. 1. You get two tests of 100 questions each. 2. You can only take each exam once. Once you start, you have 2 hours to complete that exam. 3. You have 120 days to...

Hello all. It's been a while (3 years) since I posted here and about as much time since I seriously prepped for Excelsior's program but I am finally taking the plunge. I have my NC 1 exam scheduled for less than 2 weeks from now and I'm looking for a...

Ok, 81% on my first go so I know what areas I need to study. How close are these to the actual EC tests? This will be my first....

Ok, I can take a hint....Thanks all. Coldfoot (Name becasue A: I've been looking at EC for 5 years and this is my first exam, and B: Coldfoot was the town closest town when I learned about EC.)

Hmmm, well not ER but was called 911 to a LOL with an eyelash in her eye. Not my most stellar hour but........ I was working Triage in a busy ER and we were hammered, ambulance divert in hour 3 and the like, when I had a pair of women come in obvious...

Well, I'll give you what info I can, more on the Alaska side than the RN as I was a Flight Medic and Remote Medic up there for several years before moving 'outside' (anywhere NOT Alaska) in '05. Anchorage will probably be the best place to start for ...

Ok, first off I recieved a link for a nursing bank/pool site and kept seeing the expresion "ENROLLED NURSES". Ok, I'm a litttle slow but does this mean students or is this a leval of certifiction (or both)? The second question is can anyone suggest...

This may get moved from the OZ forum to humor but I thought I'd give you all first crack at it. You're not Australian until you've: 1) You've caught a blowfly buzzing around your head with your bare hands. 2) You've mimicked Alf Stewart from 'Home ...

My family goes there for care, thats about all I can tell you

Anyone done the CarePlan lab (prep for EC's CPNE) through Chancelors? I'm pobobly going to sign on with them but I'm not sure about the lab. Anyone, anyone? Beuller?

Ok, this is driving me nuts! I need to go with one of the Study Systems out there (I just haven't been able to make myself sit down and study with this text, need a little more structure) and can't find anything online about Chancellors. Listening ...

First off, congrats on the acceptance. But...... I am going to conditionally agree with the others. I also have several years as a Medic with an equal amount of time Teching in various ER's. I have recently started with EC. Not to slight Nurses in...

Not to be facetious but I think specifying what setting you're looking for might help. Though the meds listed by Mitchsmom are very frequently used in Acute care, I doubt you'll find an Urgent Care Clinic that has used Suc's this year. The most com...

Suggestions on where to look for scholarship info?

No, it's directed at EC students preparing to take the CPNE.

Thanx for the info. I was able to call and talk to both Rue and Chancellors (sp). I think I like the Chancellors approach a little more. Need to think on it.

Up untill a week ago I had just heard "Stay away from teh publishing companies!" so I've recently started studying by simply reading a text. About a week ago I met an EC Grad that finished teh ASN program about 4 years ago using the RUE system as we...

Can anyone suggest referance material for masscall suppy inventories?

All I have to say is http://www.thebasement.com.au !!!!!! Live streaming audio and video. Makes life North of the Arctic Circle a little easier.
