:yeah:Loving it...I am 54 and worried that I won't remember a thing. I am a LPN entering distance learning....gonna do it!! Thanks ladies!

Hi, I missed where to find the lung assessments could you reiterate that for me pls.

My question is how often does Exclesior update the CPNE guidelines ?

Where can you buy these wounds?

Would the mistakes be ones that you could pick up right away?

You really encourage me at 54!!!

:yeah::yeah:Congrads!!! I am 54 and starting my RN thru Excel. for the 3rd time. But, I personally know of others that have completed the program. Then others on this site and a few other that has completed. I would really like to know when you decide to go.....I wish you the best of luck, God Bless!

I will be referring back to this again and again...thanks!

Thank you for the brief layout to the CPNE..that gives me an ideal, I thought this was three d..a..y...s, like all day. That made me nervous.

:up:Hello, Thanks so much for this gold mine, will I be able to access it for a long period? So much of it will be so useful to me, I would hate to lose it.

Hello, I am 53 and studying for my RN... my things was how hard it would be to study, I am a LPN with 17 yrs exp. I don't think anyone would hav a problem getting a nursing job...not in NJ, I really don't think so

Hello Dragon Fly...what class r u tak'n at this time, I was with Rue but I am now going straight through Excelsior, I hav 17 yrs exp. ready to move on...get back with me. I am a newbie on the forum, so I guess I am doing this correct :typying

Believe me you are not the only one, in that boat...but reviewing this forum is encouraging, there are many that made it...and if others did, I believe I can...get the books out, take it one day at a time, one class at a time...I got discouraged, b/c all I was doing was looking ahead..to clinicals...saying I can't, I can't....but I really believe I can...I know I can....I WILL!!!! You can too...WE WILL..get started.

Maybe we could keep in touch, ur story sounds like mine, I am 53, starting for the second time, one of my classes expired and I have to retake it...that is what happens when u lag...so I will be taking it over in Jan...I went to community college and did all the other classes. I hav one class i do not have to retake with excelsior,but i hav been a nurse since 1991. Good luck!!!

Yes, I started with Rue, I became discouraged and quit after 3 test, but I have not been able to shake the desire to become a Rn, I have about 15-17 yrs before I retired...so I am giving it another shot. I did enroll in Excelsior also, after finishing my next test , I will enroll again...this time I WILL BECOME A RN!!! This time I will not go through Rue. I bought my books on-line and at local book store.
