Hi, Does EC BSN programs, RN to BSN offer test out options for a degree or do they require online courses? Thanks

Hi, I am in Metro Detroit. Just getting started, how are you in the program?

I have never heard of that, I could never work somewhere that my Nursing Judgement wasn't valued. At my Hospital we hold meds all the time and document our justifications. It has never been an issue.

Did anyone find the site. I couldn't locate it on itunes site.

I need some help with getting organized too, how did the cd help? I too am having trouble going through the ec guide and then trying to find info in the textbooks???

Hello Everyone, I am just beginning also. I am scheduled for H&S in Feb. Having a time getting through the material. So I wouldn't procrastinate I have enrolled so that I can place myself on a time line. Hey Tony...I wish my VAMC used the VANEEP. They have stopped participating in the program. Study Plan: I don't do well with "others" notes, I am doing the EC study guide, and I purchased used recommended text books. I have also found a few nursing lectures online. I have stayed away from any publishing companies. It would be nice to learn how others are studying for the exams? Glad to be doing this FINALLY, everytime I considered EC I would talk myself out of it.....this time....I just signed up and stopped trying analyze every little detail....and here I am. :) I look forward to studying with you all....Good luck.

I think it would take much more effort to change to something new. I believe you should try to.... regroup, give yourself some time and assess your weakness and strengths and go from there. I realize it is a challenge, but throwing away all your hard work shouldn't be an option. You can do this...it may take a little longer...but you are almost there. Take a step back and think about it, and most of all, only get out of nursing if you have decided this is not what you want to do with your life. You have come so far, don't give up. Good Luck on your decision.

Hi, that is great.:yeah:How did you approach your studying? I am scheduled to take Health Safety....and feel like I am running around in circles. I am kinda just jumping back and forth with the study guide from EC. using just recommended text. (older versions) and I did practice test A, only made a 60%. I feel really unorganized, I am not sure I am following the study guide correctly. or better yet not sure how to use it. Thanks

Congrats, Reading your post has made me realize that I need to get this ball rolling, I paid for my first exam last month but have not put a plan into motion. You had great suggestions. Thanks

Thanks a lot, Lunah.

Hi Everyone, Well hubby and I are considering moving to VA in a few yrs. If I become Licensed in Michigan, work a few yrs will I be able to obtain VA Licensing by endorsement? I am hoping to complete EC from start to finish in 18 months or so. What does the board say regarding endorsement. Thanks

How should I study for my first exam. 1. I have the content guide. Should I purchase a Fundamental Nursing text or NCLEX Book? if so may I purchase older editions to say money? Are the guides on ebay useful? which seller? Many of them look like the old NC1, not sure. any suggestions? how did you begin your journey? I have been spending the last 2 weeks reading and reading all EC stuff, getting my application together and trying to piece together how this all works. I am now feeling like a fish out of water

Congrats!!! Where did you take it? did you go to the same testing site as on your first attempt?

Thanks, Ok did it, ready to get this ball rolling. I guess I will looking at the least 3 -4weeks...I have over 60 generals, but of course I have no literature or info lit. Can Ethics work for your Humanities requirement? Actually I am feeling less anxiety then I did when trying to make my decision to attend EC. I realize now it was nothing but fear that has held me back. I did app online, mailed off my Id, and license. and made all the requests for my previous school transcripts - that was the only hastle but it done. I think the requirements are still better than traditional, trying to figure out if I should take the A&P class at community or do study for EC exam? What do you think?
