  1. Excelsior

    DANG! I thought it was the Mosby's so I bought the new Mosby's. ISBN is 0-323-03901-4 I used the Saunder's for my LPN and I loved it! I will probably buy it too. Anyone got a loan??
  2. Wait list for KC area nursing programs

    There is also Park Univ. They should be enrolling in March. You have to test into the program. They only take the top 30 people. The test to get in is similar to the NCLEX-PN. Classes start in Aug and graduate in May. Price is comparable to everywhe...
  3. Nc3

    I was on EC website. I haven't enrolled with them yet but I have done the free sign in. It will give me contents to every class except the NC classes. Do you have the contents for NC1. I have been studying my old LPN stuff and I have a CN book that ...

  8. TCN and EC Cost

    click, i don't think you get charged the dollar amount times the credit hours. the $190 is the fee you pay at the testing center when you are ready to test out or clep out of the class. it is a one time fee unless you fail the test and have to retak...
  9. TCN and EC Cost

  10. TCN and EC Cost

    Questions... Am I correct to say you don't have to enroll in TCN OR EC right away? If you have the material (shared persay) then you can test and the credit will go towards EC? I know you don't have to enroll in EC until you hit Nursing Concepts 3. B...
  11. Excelsior

    OK, Questions... I am on the verge of CN or EC. I had a CN "salesman" come out and show me all of the terms and small print. I didn't sign with them simply because I've not done all of my homework. He says, CN Fee $5,705 to pay CN fee, book fees, b...
  12. Whadda u think about the college network?

    Hmm, now I would LOVE to know the answer to this question.... Anyone?? Are we saying here that you don't have to enroll in TCN OR EC right away? If you have the material (shared persay) then you can test and the credit will go towards EC? I know you...

  16. Questions on the NCLEX I took yesterday

    Welcome to the forum! I have about every NCLEX-PN book there is out there. BUT, there are two in particular that I personally think are great. 1) Saunders Edition 2 Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-PN Examination. It has small amounts of lect...

  25. Easy question for L&D nurses

    I think the theory is very interetsing. I beleive it has a lot to do with whether you are educated and IN CONTROL of yourself during labor. My first delivery was beautiful. I went to the hosp at 8am 4cm, 80%, ctx 2-3min. Noon, I was 6 cm and my co...
