1. CPNE Prep

   veggieLPN replied to myekah16's topic in Excelsior College

   Can I ask you when you applied for the CPNE and what your date is? I've been hearing about very long wait times. There are a lot of good groups on facebook. DO NOT waste your money on the flashcards,...

5. Recent experiences

   veggieLPN replied to bgriffin32's topic in Excelsior College

   I just passed Transitions today with a record low study time of 4 days. Still have Reproduction and LS3 left. I'm hoping that it's not too unrealistic to try and pass them both by October 14th. If I...

7. I couldn't do it, but that doesn't mean you can't!

   veggieLPN replied to vamedic4's topic in Excelsior College

   Thanks for your honesty. I believe that this program, especially the credit by exam program, is meant for people who enjoy self-teaching/self-learning and have a history of doing better on tests than...

   Update on LS2 - I took it today and I passed with a B! Not bad, for 13 days! I used studyguide 101 and the Practice Exams to

9. How do you fund your education?

   veggieLPN replied to Molemedic's topic in Excelsior College

   I'm taking the exam route, and I have to say it is a very cheap option. I work 32 hours a week as an LPN and that covers my Excelsior expenses. I am worried about the price of the CPNE, but hopefully...

    veggieLPN replied to NurseEffort's topic in Excelsior College

12. What separates sucessful nursing students from the rest

    veggieLPN replied to Valcorie34's topic in General Students

    I think, as the original poster put, the ability to keep your head down and say "yes mam" is a big one. At the risk of sounding sterotypical, I want to say that I've seen a lot of promising young men...

13. LS 2 ...umm?

    veggieLPN replied to NurseEffort's topic in Excelsior College

    I'm studying for LS2 right now as well. I'm hoping to get this one done in about a month. Not too worried about the psych parts as it's one of my favorite topics and I already took an RN psych class...

    veggieLPN replied to veggieLPN's topic in Excelsior College

    Well to answer my own question, it seems your scores on Saunders practice questions correlate pretty well to the score you will get on the exam. I passed the LS1 exam today with a C. On to LS
