    Practice Exams (Excelsior)

    Kamilah Coney replied to MommaNurse26's topic in Excelsior College

    Honestly the highest score I've recieved, if my memory serves me right, was 56%. I JUST took practice exam A for Life Span 2 and ALMOST got a 50%. Since my test date is so close I've printed ALL the...

    LS1-3 by May?

    Kamilah Coney replied to NurseHopefulInOH's topic in Excelsior College

    I don't know if you went for it but anything is possible once you put your mind to it. I, too, wanted to finish the Life Span series before the May 2nd deadline. Unfortunately, life gets in the way....

    Thanks for the reminder! I absolutely forgot about all the additional files. I only printed the pages covering the Cardiovascular/Hematological, Respiratory and Abnormal Cellular Growth. I think I...

    Practice Exams (Excelsior)

    Kamilah Coney replied to MommaNurse26's topic in Excelsior College

    Just found out that the textbooks will come in handy for the two FCCA online courses. Purchasing them wasn't a waste of $$$ after all. The tips I've seen for Life Span 1 didn't really include cancer...

    Kamilah Coney replied to NurseNme30's topic in Excelsior College

    Do you both plan on using SG101 to study for your exams? There is a group on FB called MyStudyGroup 101. I've used that as my primary contact with other student's using ECs exam route. Just wanted to...

    Practice Exams (Excelsior)

    Kamilah Coney replied to MommaNurse26's topic in Excelsior College

    I purchased the textbooks BEFORE I knew about Study Group 101. Talk about a waste of $$$. I haven't used them much at all. I guess it's okay though because I am sort of a nursing book "collector". :)...

    Kamilah Coney replied to NurseNme30's topic in Excelsior College

    That sounds right on the $$$. That price still beats the other "online" LPN/RT/Paremedic to RN schools I've researched. The cheapest one I saw was $330/credit @ 100 credits to complete ASN thats...

    Using care.com to find clients?

    Kamilah Coney posted a topic in Private Duty

    I've been a home care agency LPN for ALMOST 4 years. It upside to working as an agency nurse is that you can choose what hours and days you want to work. The downside is that work isn't ever...

    just took the first step to enrolling in Excelsior ADN program

    Kamilah Coney replied to NurseNme30's topic in Excelsior College

    Yes that applies to everyone. I think they changed the requirement for core courses in 2012. I didn't know about the Health Difference requirement. I passed the NCLEX 2 years prior to enrollment. So...

    Kamilah Coney replied to NurseNme30's topic in Excelsior College

    Yes there still is the annual enrollment fee. But I think you can still take the Microbiology, A&P and Transition to the Professional Nurse Role before you enroll 😊 One thing that has...

    Using care.com to find clients?

    Kamilah Coney replied to Kamilah Coney's topic in Private Duty

    No I haven't seen anyone looking for private duty services. Just persons seeking Companion Care. I know LPNs working as HHAs is frowned upon thats why I asked the question on this forum. It was a...

    Kamilah Coney replied to NurseNme30's topic in Excelsior College

    NurseNme30 You don't pay that $490/credit fee unless you're going to take the class. The only costs you pay when you choose to take the course credit-by-exam is the Exam fee ($345) + Practice Exam...

    Oh sorry! I was just rambling on and didn't really answer your question. The A&P credit by exam is both parts in one (without the lab). I have taken all courses, except Info Lit., using credit by...

    Kamilah Coney replied to NurseNme30's topic in Excelsior College

    Since my previous Micro and Anatomy grades were over 5 years old I had to retake them both through Excelsior. I used Study Group 101(MyStudyGroup101 LLC) along with ECs Content Outline and the...

    Kamilah Coney replied to NurseBinWA's topic in Excelsior College

    The best advice I can offer is to work at a pace that best suits you. Don't ever use another individual's successes or failures as a guide for you. We all have our own areas of strengths. Lastly,...

    Practice Exams (Excelsior)

    Kamilah Coney replied to MommaNurse26's topic in Excelsior College

    I've used the practice exams for almost all the courses except Transition, which was pretty risky but that God I passed. I haven't scored higher than 64% on any of the practice exams. Unfortunately I...

    Kamilah Coney replied to AbigailJo's topic in Excelsior College

    I absolutely agree Pixie.RN that's why I give kuddos to those who can take 3 exams in eight days. But I stay away from the notion "If so and so took 6 exams in 2 weeks than why can't I?" There's no...

    Kamilah Coney replied to AbigailJo's topic in Excelsior College

    Yes I saw her posts. She said she studied each section about 30 mins and as soon as she scored 60-70% on the practice exam she scheduled her exam. I'm working on the first of the Life Span series....

    Kamilah Coney replied to AbigailJo's topic in Excelsior College

    Yes, I agree. You utlimately determine if you can take 2 exams in 8-week intervals. I was also considering doing this with LS2 and LS3 because I wanted to be CPNE eligible by August 2016. Don't know...

    Kamilah Coney replied to Karilynnmorgan's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I love all the input this thread has recieved. I thought long and hard about taking on a couple private client's as an Independent Nurse but are too many ways things could go wrong. I do agree there...
