Congratulations!!! I have a lil ways to go with EC haven't taken an exam since 2012 so i'm getting back into the swing of things. I'm so happy for you go out and celebrate RN!
OMG! I couldn't agree more. it's like that here in mo. ADN nurses are having a hard time finding employment and some BSN nurses too. LPN's? forget it there is a huge surplus of LPN's and not enough good paying jobs and jobs period the market is so co...

Wow you lucked out on that one. I have an old perry & potter i was using before i got the one excelsior recommended which i got from the library and they dont want it back for some reason. i didnt find too much of a difference in the material bet...
Those who are on the board and make these decisions should have their licenses pulled as well. IMO, they are just as responsible for letting incompetent nurses keep their licenses without so much as a censure. this kinda reminds me of how a parole bo...
I used saunders, lots of practice questions with rationales. when doing the questions even on the ones you got right try reading the rationales many of the questions i got right was by luck and made sense when i read the rationales for them. try comp...
Never heard of that site before i need to socialize more on the internet. anyhoo, i completely agree with the OP. i used to work with a nurse that was constantly updating herself on facebook or instagram i think, doing NOTHING! taking pic's posing at...

FYI, Excelsior is the program not TCN. all they (TCN) do is sell expensive materials for you to study from when you can get the required textbooks from any bookstore or library. if you decide not to go with TCN after signing their contract, i've hear...
I totally can relate to the maltreatment by some nurses i've seen this more often than not over my time in nursing. occasionally, you'll run into the nurse that has to but in and remind you that s/he knows more than you do and mention they've been a ...
Good Luck! i'm praying for ya. i'm nowhere near the end just now restarting with EC. so good to read success stories and determination from those that did not pass an exam. keep us posted on how well you do on LS3. :)
I'm wondering can you work at your own pace still like you studying for ls3 for 2 wks then take the exam? i guess if you want you can continue to pay for the courses yourself. i've been on leave from EC for awhile and may apply for the financial aid.
Congrats!!! to all of you that has passed and made it this far. i'm on leave from EC and will re-start soon. it's been so long since i've taken my last exam and it's hard trying to get back into the groove of studying. Good Luck! reading success stor...
