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...

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...

Congrats!!! I am scheduled to take Chronicity the day after you!! I wanted to take Repro but am having some difficulty with the financial aid and them accepting my financial aid for it so just went ahead with thr Chronicity instead!!

A question for those using Excelsior and how to apply for the FA portion of MyCAA. Exactly what do you put down for the start and end date for your course? Also, I believe that I read about someone stating that you can email the FA voucher to Excel...

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...

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...

Congratulations!!!!

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!

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

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...

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

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!!

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...

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...

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.

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...

I have H&S scheduled for 7/10, which was post-poned from late June because I hadn't studied and still haven't studied much for it. Trying to get myself motivated! I'm so torn right now between EC and going to ISU. I am worried because I am a ne...

I am a resident of SC (working on getting my GA license as well) and am curious about AASU and it's LPN-BSN program. I haven't setup anything with an advisor yet and I am still trying to get some info and would love some feedback from current studen...

I am a military spouse as well, USMC to be specific - just about to take the Health & Safety exam on the 18th (though I may bump it up a week... I honestly haven't studied at all since we just moved into/bought our house!). Sometimes I worry a...

Good job!!

I did as you suggested Felicia and sent the vouchers in this morning. Thank you so much!!! And Tasha, I was sooooo excited when I found out the the mycaa would pay for the Excelsior. Excelsior is definitely the best option for me and my family and ...

Good for you Tasha! I too have mulled over the decision to join up at EC but just sent in to take my first two tests. I had hesitated when they stalled the MyCAA thing but since they started it back up again, I am pushing ahead! As for tips, I'm p...

My husband is in the military and I am going the Excelsior route because I just cannot count on waiting to get into schools and such. I have the grades to get in but since I am working at the moment, Excelsior is perfect for me. Due to my husband's...

Just curious as to how long it takes to get accepted into Excelsior? They have had all of my transcripts, plus my nursing license, since 3/8 and I would really really like to get started!!!

Awesome, thank you!! I am definitely going to check those out. The thought of purchasing a whole new set of textbooks is somewhat daunting and I never once thought about just renting/loaning them through the library. Definitely going to go that ro...
