  2. Excelsior Grad Nov '12 New RN!

    Thanks for this post. It is motivation for me. I too am in my 50's and this is quite challenging for me, but I'm going to keep at it.
  3. Hi All, Looking for feedback that can possibly help me be successful. Has anyone ever created a study plan calendar based on the content of the ECG? I am studying A&P using ECG, TCN book, and StudyGroup101. What I find myself doing is reading and...

  6. Straighterline Topic Grade Quizzes??

    I read the edition wrong. It's the 9th edition which was rolled out in 2012. I checked out bookrenter.com and it does have reasonable prices and allows you to select how long you want to keep the book up to 125 days. . Thanks for the info.
  7. Study Plan calendar based on Excelsior's ECG

    WOW 2 weeks, don't know that I can accomplish that timeframe. I hadn't thought of studying using the flash card method. I'll have to give that a try. With the TCN books, I find that if I break it out into sections based on the EC study guide, I don...
  8. Straighterline Topic Grade Quizzes??

    Will an older edition of the textbook do the trick as well? Like a 6th or 7th edition? The recommended book is the 12th edition. I wonder if the content has changed that much to where it would hinder my scoring.

  11. Straighterline Topic Grade Quizzes??

    I am starting again after a 2 year hiatus. I am beginning to study A&P. Just purchased StudyGroup101. I am reading a lot about Straighterline in this forum. How does that work to satisfy the EC A&P requirement? Do I take both 1&2 for ...
  12. The Present

    It will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking. Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was ...
  13. Tomorrow!!

    Best of luck to you.

    That is a good strategy. I think I'm trying to study for too long of a period of time on one subject and not retaining the area I'm not familiar with.

  20. Rescheduled NC3

    Well I thought I would be ready to tackle this monster tomorrow, but being realistic I knew I wasn't, so I rescheduled for later in the year. I did not want to go tomorrow and fail. I looked at NC5 and was quite surprised at how much I remembered ab...

  24. Dallas area hospitals

    That's good to know. Denton Regional is only 5 minutes from my house. Much better than my current 1 hour one way commute time.:wtosts:

    I have been working in the medical management arena (insurance, TPA) for the past 8 years and currently in a supervisory position. I am thinking of going back into patient care for three reasons. (1)-miss taking care of and talking to the patients. I...
