    Up2nogood RN replied to rmbt418's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I tested in Utica and it's a small quiet town about an hours drive from Syracuse. The airport in Syracuse is small with only one terminal I believe and no long lines waiting to go thru security. It's...

    I called Excelsior the other day and asked if the FCCA could be waived for me (passed CPNE last wk) since I chose this program b/c of the ability to work at my own pace. I told her I'm VERY motivated...

    I just have analyzing lit to CLEP next week so who knows what hoops I'll have to jump through to get done with this program. But I better not hear anything about waiting for this FCCA or I will...

    Up2nogood RN replied to rmbt418's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I applied in April and transferred my application from MPAC to NPAC in mid June, called NPAC to make sure it went thru and tested Aug 1st in Utica. At that time when I called she had like 10 different...

    Up2nogood RN replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in LPN to RN

    It can be done, I'll be all finished with the program (EC) after my last humanities requirement next week. Did it in 8 months. I'm curious to see if they make me wait for the FCCA, that's not...

  7. I've made it this far....

    Up2nogood RN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    ...and made it thru everything but info literacy and what do you know, I missed it by one stinkin' question. Oh well, what's another $300 after all I've paid to EC

  8. Must haves for studying for CPNE?

    Up2nogood RN replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did buy the flashcards from EC, they were very helpful for me to take on the go and they had critcal elements on them. I bought a wound/skills kit from ebay, set up a lab and practiced daily the...

    Up2nogood RN replied to toby4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took xanax too. I tested it out first and it didn't make me sleepy but everyone is affected differently you know by meds. All I know is it made the biggest difference for me. I could eat and sleep...

    Up2nogood RN replied to Up2nogood RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, that's what I say LOL. I can kinda laugh about it now but was not too happy a few hrs ago. Just thank goodness I failed that and not the

    Akanini- I enrolled in January, took 2 months to complete exams, was CPNE eligible in April, finished CPNE August 3rd. You're at an advantage starting an ADN program with your LPN training still fresh...

    Up2nogood RN replied to formyfly's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I only need 3 credits for humanities and CLEP only offers 6 credit tests for humanities. I just talked w/ an advisor and she told me I can take a DANTES to test out of a 3 credit course. Trying to...

  15. Lynn's workshop website not working?

    Up2nogood RN replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    NC Girl- It doesn't matter if you sound like a tongue tied fool, you'll never see these people again LOL. I worried about how I would sound in front of the real patient b/c when I practiced I sounded...

  16. Lynn's workshop website not working?

    Up2nogood RN replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Now just my opinion here but if it were me I would pay the extra $$ and attend an Excelsior workshop. I attended Lynn's and she's a nice lady but gives some inaccurate info. I went to hers in July and...

  17. In need of a bias opinion...

    Up2nogood RN replied to formyfly's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can CLEP both these, ususally through a local CC and save a lot of money. I took sociology this way using the college network book, studied about 3 weeks, paid $80 and took the test. Pretty...

  18. The FCCA Dates:What were they thinking

    Up2nogood RN replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Oh I'm going to give them my opinion on that! No, it's not fair to make some wait, I take the CPNE Aug 1st and I thought it would be bad enough waiting til October. But if I have to wait til November...

  19. How long did it take you to get through EC?

    Up2nogood RN replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I enrolled in January, took the exams in 2 months, and am scheduled for CPNE Aug 1st. I still have the FCCA, a humanities course and literacy info but will do that after

    Up2nogood RN replied to Baloney Amputation's topic in Online Distance Learning

    My application was accepted in April at MPAC and I transferred it to NPAC b/c of the sooner dates. I called yesterday and got a date for August 1st-3rd at St. Lukes in Utica. They had lots of...

  21. First 20 minutes?????

    Up2nogood RN replied to Firemedic7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    And I don't suppose we can use a digital recorder in the workshop...I figure that'd be too good to be true LOL. I assumed that they went over those things but just checking,

  22. First 20 minutes?????

    Up2nogood RN replied to Firemedic7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm only asking this question b/c I'm going to a workshop in July- the one you attended didn't go over 20 minute checks and what was required to check and

  23. Few Questions about CPNE Application

    Up2nogood RN replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It took me a week to gather all my info to send in. But don't be in a big hurry to have it approved, it takes them a few weeks. When I first finished my exams I was in a big rush but after seeing all...

  24. Rob's CPNE DVD

    Up2nogood RN replied to Lunah's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The Excelsior DVD does explicitly say it's not meant to teach the skills needed but for me it helps to relieve some anxiety in giving me a visual of how it will be set up and a little of what to...

    Up2nogood RN replied to Lunah's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I too broke down and bought it after hearing such positive feedback. I have yet to be able to download (just purchased this am) it but I'm hoping it helps tie everything together b/c I'm a very visual...
