I am studying for my first exam through Excelsior. I was just wondering if anyone had any pointers on how they studied for this exam. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

i called the TN board of nursing and they said excelsior was fine. i also know several people who have done it with no problem. you should be able to sit for boards in TN. hope it doesn't change anytime soon!

i am going though excelsior to get my RN. i really enjoy the flexibility of it. if you go under the students tab and then distance learning you can find out about it or go to www.excelsior.edu .

they are accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). it is all self study. it is basically like taking a final in every class. there are no assignments... so your test is your only grade for that class. you do need t...

i am currently in the excelsior program. it works great for me. you have to be very self motivated. i was doing great and got discouraged over A&P. finally took that in Nov and got a B. then went on and took micro last thurs and got an A! now I'm...

i personally don't rely on them very much. i think their material is good but the practice tests not so much. i sent them multiple corrections for one subject they actually refunded me the money. i knew the correct answer from studying their material...

Vanderbilt University...University of Alabama-Huntsville.... Southern College of Alabama

I have a question. Has anyone who graduated from EC (even general educations requirements) gone on to get their NP? I am in the process of getting my RN now from Excelsior but having to get all general requirements also. Wondering if NP schools accep...

Just wanted to say thanks! all info is greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks for the replies! Yes you do still have to take the CPNE. I am really nervous about it but think I can handle it. I went though a vocational school to get my LPN so I have never been in a traditional college setting. I have already taken 3 gene...

i was going to ask. does anyone have any recommendations for study material of Psychology of Adulthood and Aging with Excelsior.

Has anyone taken the EC Foundations of Geronotology exam? I am taking this exam on Thursday evening. I thought I was doing pretty good but now I'm not so sure. Any advice or tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks! I uses... Later Life The Realities of Aging 6th edition by Harold Cox, Studygroup 101 notes, and www.instantcert.com

Thanks for all the replies. I got an A!

Thanks for all the input. I really appreciate it. As for what credit it counts for... I'm not sure. In the little handout from Excelsior it is under Arts and Science Electives. Again thanks for all the input. Hopefully I'll do ok.

i haven't used the studygroup101 notes for the nursing courses but have for others. i found them to be helpful. i have found some errors on the test (which they corrected). they do have excellent customer service and the rest of the material is great...

I am an LPN right now going through Excelsior to get my associates. Then I plan on getting bachlors through them also. After that hopefully going to University of TN Chattanooga to get FNP. I really like Excelsior so far. You can also CLEP courses bu...

I am trying to figure out which classes I am going to take. For humanities... intro to music, intro to philosophy, or ethics: theory and pracice. Anyone taken these classes or have any ideas about them? I will have to take 2 to fulfill the requiremen...

I just started using the notes for Life Span Development. I am finding them to be very helpful. Cheltoe... do you feel pretty good about the tests by just using these notes and the practice tests? That would save alot of money in the long run! ALOT!

I have recently started the Excelsior program also. They suggested to me to take Life Span Developmental Psychology and the Geriatrics courses first so that is what I am working on now. You can CLEP several classes instead of taking the Excelsior exa...

Thanks so much! Did you literally read the entire book? I have the book and study guide Excelsior recommends, but I think I will take the CLEP exam to save money. I guess these books will still be fine. I am just trying to figure out the most effecti...

Are you a LPN right now? I am in the process of getting started with Excelsior. I would recommend writing down all your questions and calling them. You will not hear a sales pitch. They are great. I have called and asked questions on several occasion...

I am about to start at Excelsior. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. I have called and asked alot of questions and they are always very helpful and polite. I have a question for Suzi-Q. Are you taking the English course or exam? I think ...

trust me. you don't want to work at walmart.

i think i am going to start Excelsior. http://www.excelsior.edu
