I posted awhile ago, but dont know if anyone responded because i cant find my post! anyways, I was looking into getting the studygroup101 cd's and what not, but what do they all consist of? notes? tests? ?? also, do they work with a macbook? i tried ...

I am SO HAPPY I went for my lpn before rn. I wanted to originally just do the rn program, but I had such a hard time getting into a program and I got so frustrated. I got right in a lpn program and graduated last dec, passed boards in January, and no...

Ok I registered for the first exam for excelsior last Friday, and I still have received my att yet. Anyone have any idea how long it takes to receive this? I dont plan on testing anytime soon, but I just would like to know where the heck it is!! Than...

ohhhh lol ok thanks! I was getting worried! :)

Ok I STILL haven't started studying for the first class for the excelsior lpn to rn program. I am so clueless on HOW to go about this. I have heard so many different ways to study and I just dont know what to do!! I really dont want to buy all the re...

oh crap i sold all of my books back to the school and on amazon! oh well. im going to start searching for the books today!! thanks again for all ur advice!!

ahhh Thank you SO much everyone!!!! tasha I really like ur idea of breaking the sections down into weeks. That would be the best way for me to go about it!! next step, getting some books and setting a "start" date!!!!

thank u so much! so did you buy all the recommended books? like fundamentals, peds, med/surg etc?

So I had classroom orientation at my new job at a local hospital today and I was chatting with the group I was sitting with about excelsior's lpn to rn program. the HR manager was talking with us too and she said that a girl is graduating from there ...

thanks everyone!! I will get there one day...I think I need to get into the swing of my new job before getting back into school! Definitely dont want to overload my brain too much! :)

i agree. I think all programs should require applicants to be cna's before nursing school. It for sure is a huge dose of reality and you will know if its for you or not!!

ha! just realized that it was posted last year too. oh well haha

i felt the same way when I only had 4 months left too! I bawled my head off driving home from my med/surg clinicals one day because my teacher gave me a new assignment when she told me the day before that I would have the same one all week. so all th...

Im still going to do it for sure! I just need to get myself motivated! Someone motivate me!! LOL!

ohhhh! got it! :) well good luck to you....I hope to be getting my butt in gear to start soon, too!

how did you get grants for the program? i was told you couldn't....unless you got it before hand and just had it lying around! it sucks that you pretty much have to pay for it out of pocket, or take out private loans for it. no fun. :s

I have been reading around on here, and it seems like this is the way to go as far as studying for the exams for excelsior? It seems cheaper than buying books...Anyone have any advice for me? I am just brand new starting out at this, just starting to...

Hi everyone! I am about to begin studying for the first nursing exam through excelsior. I am a tad confused though. I know i download the free content and I did that, just need to print it off. I saw a list of books for the nursing program....should ...

Hi Everyone! So I am a new lpn grad, passed my boards in January, and I am dying to work at Fairview Ridges! I have applied for every single position that has come up there, and I FINALLY got a phone call today to come in for an interview. I am inter...

I feel like it went really well! The nurse manager complimented me on a lot of the answers I gave, was very informative in telling me about the job, was very friendly, etc. I gave her a thank you card and told her I hoped to hear from her soon and sh...

good luck! get a good nights rest, and remember to BREATHE!!! PS-LOL i love the puking smiley!!!! too funny!

AHHHHHHHH I PASSED MY PN BOARDS!!!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!

To tell you the truth I really didnt study much! I didnt know what to study and got so frustrated! I did read through a kaplan book, and started looking through the mosby's nclex book. I mainly practiced taking tests and that was about it!

I am looking into doing the lpn to rn program through excelsior, but I was just told that not many people hire RN's that graduate from Excelsior because of the lack of clinical experience. Is this true? Has anyone else heard this, or done this progr...

I know MN doesn't either....but I talked to a friend the other day and her husband is a RN at a major hospital around here and he said that RN's that graduate from excelsior are having problems getting jobs. Not sure if it's just at the hospital he w...
