   bsn2b2013 replied to LoopsRN2's topic in Online Learning

   I am working on Chronicity as well - test date is 10/29 and have just really started to get in gear. I find it kind of boring but wanted to get it out of the way!! Right now I am using Study Group 101 and the practice tests to get me through it all...

3. Transitions in the Books, finally!

   bsn2b2013 replied to bsn2b2013's topic in Online Learning

   I had the books but honestly, the material was so dry that I just couldn't use them. So I used the StudyGroup101 and the EC Practice tests. And I am definitely going to use every second of time I can while I'm not working. It will be very tight f...

4. Transitions in the Books, finally!

   bsn2b2013 posted a topic in Online Learning

   After rescheduling twice, because I was being a bum, I finally took transitions today. I studied for 2 days and got a B, so I am pretty happy with that! 6 more tests left to go! Recently I have resigned from my work in order to pursue school full t...

   Tasha - I just have the nursing course left to go. Was supposed to start my LPN-RN last week at my previous college but thanks to the military we moved instead! So, I had all my pre-reqs ready to go and just have to tackle the fun nursing stuff!

7. Transitions is so boooooring

   bsn2b2013 replied to bsn2b2013's topic in Online Learning

   hahaha, I fell asleep too! I can't wait until repro but then ob/gyn is my main interest/career goal!

8. Transitions is so boooooring

   bsn2b2013 posted a topic in Online Learning

   I have study guide 101 and the text needed for the exam and omg, it is so boring. So dry. I think I am going to cry myself to sleep studying for this exam! Can't wait to read up on topics that are a bit more interesting than history and HMO/PPOs/M...

9. Excelsior and jobs

   bsn2b2013 replied to stevefl's topic in Online Learning

   Good luck! I actually think that my degree from EC will be more "earned" than sitting through 2 semesters at a local cc. Yes, I may miss out on labs but I am pushing myself a whole lot harder than I ever had to know the material and seek out traini...

10. KY Excelsior students!

    bsn2b2013 replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Learning

    Tasha - my game plan is pretty much the same as yours. That is if I can get through Transitions, lol.

11. Transitions EC exam?

    bsn2b2013 replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Learning

    I'm scheduled to take this on 9/10. I have the SG101 and ordered the texts but man is it boring. Totally fell asleep reading the 101 notes and I expect the text to be even more exciting!!

12. How much time do you spend studying???

    bsn2b2013 replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Learning

    I wish I have been as diligent as you ladies but I haven't. I manage about an hour every other day - studying for H&S this coming weekend and then will push Transitions the next week. I am talking to my husband about quitting my job - financial...

13. MyCAA users and Excelsior

    bsn2b2013 replied to bsn2b2013's topic in Online Learning

    Yeah, I was going to take my time on actually enrolling but it looks like I will probably be doing that soon and registering for as many of the exams as I can (I had planned on trying to be done with all 8 by January anyways...). It is still a bumme...

14. MyCAA users and Excelsior

    bsn2b2013 replied to bsn2b2013's topic in Online Learning

    Just FYI, check out the new MyCAA guidelines. Not sure which rank your hubbies are but they just completely messed it up for me. Am trying to contemplate how I am going to get this done now.

15. ISU Clinicals - How'd they work out for you?

    bsn2b2013 posted a topic in Online Learning

    Ok, so I am scheduled to take my first test for EC on Aug 7 and am giving myself until the end of this week to make my final decision between ISU and EC because I know I need to bust out the CSMs really quickly plus the TEAS if I decide to go through...
