  1. Saved Chronicity for last...

    GCmomRN replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Speaking for myself, I have the knowledge from RT school and the experience from working in critical care that MOST of this is a review for me. So yes, I can pass these exams with only a little bit of...

  2. Saved Chronicity for last...

    GCmomRN replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    LOL, thanks Erin! Isn't it funny how quickly you forget. I swear I walk out of that testing room and I couldn't tell you what the content was! They don't have to worry about me passing along...

  3. Saved Chronicity for last...

    GCmomRN replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think it's NC3 without the repro part.. I'm pretty sure the HDLS series is NC4-6 so I just took NC5 two weeks ago. I thought that one was hard but I also really prepared for it because it was...

  4. Transition :(

    GCmomRN replied to sunshineprn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Oh I'm so sorry! I'm so nervous about failing my last exam too, I know I just want to take it and be done with it!! Hopefully they will let you retake sooner, I'm sure you'll do great the second time...

  5. Passed HDLS 2

    GCmomRN replied to princess1125's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congrats!!!! I'm studying for HDLS 3 now and it seems much easier then LS2 (more straightforward anyway!). I am taking it next week and then have Chronicity and then FCCA/CPNE! Yikes, it has gone...

  6. how long to prepare for CPNE?

    GCmomRN replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've been thinking about this a lot too. I'm the type who studies better with a close deadline so I might try to push myself to take it sooner. I'm debating about taking a workshop or not, but since I...

  7. What is passing grade for Excelsior Tests

    GCmomRN replied to lsilva7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    C is passing... there is a super complicated way they come up with the grade though. It's not just based on answering 70%

  8. Passed Transitions!!!!!

    GCmomRN replied to BeachCathyRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Great job!! You'll be done before you know it, just keep motivated

  9. Passed life Span 2 , after failing

    GCmomRN replied to Erikadawn RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congrats!! That was the hardest test for me, I swore I failed when I walked out! LS1 wasn't too bad for me b/c I have a good background in cardiac/resp stuff. Stick to the content guide and practice...

  10. WHich study guides helped more

    GCmomRN replied to lsilva7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Honestly, I have both and I don't love either. I use them for reference but the textbooks are your better bet. I find the Lisa Arends notes to be confusing because she doesn't use a lot of punctuation...

  11. HDLS-2

    GCmomRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Does anyone actually pass this exam the first time around?! I'm reading through old EPN posts and SO many are from people that failed! I'm hoping it's because those are the only people that are...

  12. NPAC or SPAC

    GCmomRN replied to TiffanyRN!!'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    When you apply, can you pick which site to test at? Utica is sounding like a nice place to

  13. HDLS-2

    GCmomRN replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well I did it, I passed the first time around!!!! That was by far the hardest test, I swore I had failed when I was leaving the room. Got a "B" but I definitely worked harder for that B then any of...

  14. HDLS-2

    GCmomRN replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Racha- great job!! very inspiring that you can do this in your 3rd language! Lisa- yup, took both forms and got 67's on both!! Thought I did so much better on form B. But I studied the rationales and...

  15. HDLS-2

    GCmomRN replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks Lisa! The content doesn't seem too bad, but I also had to take health differences which LPN's get to skip and there was a huge amnt of regulatory/metabolic info on that exam so some of this is...

  16. Which RPAC ?

    GCmomRN replied to lisamc1RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm not sure how the registering process works, but can you see what date they give you for the MPAC first and if it's too far away then reapply for the NPAC? I'm in NY so I'm happy to hear it's...

  17. Is a "C" a pass on a Excelsior exam at pearson vue?

    GCmomRN replied to dslpninla's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yup, a "C" is definitely passing! These are "exams" and not "courses" so that's why they are listed

  18. Health Differences Life Span 2

    GCmomRN replied to cheltoe's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm taking this exam on Wed and I'm also nervous because of all the "hype". But I've decided this is just like any of the other exams, people fail them too. This material can get confusing and a lot...

  19. What should I do next?

    GCmomRN replied to keepmovingrn's topic in Excelsior College

    I would take A&P next, you're going to need that in order to do well in your nursing exams. Once you get that out of the way, jump into the nursing exams and do the humanities course as you go. I...

  20. did horrible on first practice test for Transitions.

    GCmomRN replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The practice exams are SO much harder then the actual exams!! I have never gotten better then a 72 or 75 on them and I've gotten 4 A's and 1 B so far. Just study every question and the answers (plus...

  21. Need some help re: LS2

    GCmomRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    So I've been really studying the mental heath section and I feel comfortable with a lot of the disorders and most of the material. So I took a practice quiz (from the mystudygroup forms) and I'm...

  22. Need some help re: LS2

    GCmomRN replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for the tips, I'll look over those areas. sunshine- I have the old edition of the mental health book and I'm sure it's pretty close (a few of the chapters are off, but they are the same name)....

  23. Question about content guides

    GCmomRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    i'm studying for lifespan 2 and i'm getting overwhelmed by all the drug names. there are only a few mentioned in the content guide so are those the only drug names for each category i need to know? i...

  24. Question about content guides

    GCmomRN replied to GCmomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    thanks angel! trying not to get too crazy about it as i have done well on everything else. but this is also my weakest areas so i'll be putting a lot more effort into this exam. i'm just studying the...

  25. Lifespan 1

    GCmomRN replied to crazywoman's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Took it last week. Definitely take the practice exams and study off them. I didn't find the exam to be too difficult, but I also have a huge background in cardiac/resp
