I think we need some unions in Georgia!

:oJust wondering if any nurses out there have unionized,if so what has their experience been like.Has it helped with any problems or not?What are the best unions for nurses and how hard is it to be part of a union as a hospital nurse?It seems like nursing today have no advocates in our workplace.

You have to pay the registration fee .I would check with excelsior and make sure they will accept.I know they accept some Clep,but not all.Lifespan was not a real bad test,I took EC test.You do need to study.If you have the free content guide from EC,it is pretty precise as to the content you need to know for exam.I use it as my study guide.The workbook that went along with the textbook was great.

Yeah! Congrats to you!God bless you!

Hi,I am also a student through Excelsior.I'm still pretty new to it all.I have completed Lifespan.I used the recommended textbook and workbook listed in the content guide.The advice everyone has given is very good.I have not use any of the study guides yet.I do try to buy my books from ebay or half.com (even better),I did not do that at first and spent a lot of money on books at EC bookstore,also cheaper to buy one edition earlier than advised in content guide. I have heard good and bad re:study guides.Some say they are great,others that there is not enough info to prepare them for the exams.I'm sure they are quicker to get through.I am currently an LPN and sometimes wonder if I'm crazy for attempting this online study route,it is not easy.Good luck with your studies whatever you decide to do.God bless!:welcome:

CONGRATS! to you,How did you do it and what study materials did you use?I'm working on prereqs,going through excelsior.So far it's been kind ,of slow going.Any tips will be helpful.Thanks and congrgulations again!Good luck with your test and God bless.

Go to ebay,type in excelsior college or college network study guides.Lisa arends CD's are the ones with the picture of the nurse,they are around 9.99 each,very thorough.She has a good reputation with all the nursing groups I have joined.Also go to yahoo groups.com and join the nurs ing groups.A lot of info there and they have files with notes and some practice exams you can access for free.Saunders NCLEX review book and Q&A books are helpful.Good luck with all your studies and God bless:welcome:

Hi,I am enrolled distance learning directly through EC. Tested at Pearson on Lifespan last Monday,no fees paid to Pearson.I paid $190 online to EC for the test.Good luck with your studies.

Thanks for the encouragement,it sure helps.Congratulations on your progress and success!

Hi!I saw your post and I am currently enrolled with EC.I live in Metter,GA .I am ready to schedule my first exam,which will be lifespan.This is a lot more difficult than I had thought it might be,but hopefully doable.Hope your studies are going well.
