  2. Microbiology exam advice - what did you use?

    The more I study, the more I want to move this microbiology test up. There's a lot to it. I think end of next week would be good. I really want to know the material, not just pass the test. I would...
  3. Chronicity test moved up to Tuesday!!!

    When I tested a few weeks ago, they have me a paper with the results right after I stepped out of the exam room. I look forward to hearing that you passed tomorrow.
  4. When to purchase Saunder's RN-NCLEX?

    Another one down! I passed Health Safety with a B this morning. {More pedi's than expected, but I'll go over that stuff a bit more later on.} 10/23/10 A&P passed with an A 10/27/10 Transition to...

  10. Does Excelsior Nursing program honor CLEP?

    You can download Excelsior's guide to credit by exam. After you sign in (it's free), you can look under Publications and you will see "A Student Guide to Credit by Examination at Excelsior College"....
  11. Paid for LS2 but no dates available in Dec

    It seems to me that days open up all the time, but really after the weekend, esp. Monday morning and afternoon, in general. Then some open, again, closer to the weekend for the next week. I guess...
  12. PASSED LS 1

    Congratulations! Good job!
  13. I tend to think of it in terms of effectiveness. Am I learning the material? Is it enough to pass? Is it working? I study in rapid succession and that works for me. I took 3 exams in one week. Doing...
  14. Got My Unofficial Review

    I think instantcert.com is the best resource. It gives you the info and prepares you for the CLEP testing style for $20 a month. Honestly, you could probably do one CLEP a week (or however your...
  15. Microbiology exam advice - what did you use?

    Thanks for the advice, everyone. I hope to test within the next week or so. Sharwell, the microbiology exam is already paid for. It was one of the first things I did when I decided on Excelsior. The...

    From Excelsior's website: -Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurses -Paramedics -Certain classifications of Military Corpsmen -Respiratory Therapist, Respiratory Technician, Respiratory Care...
  17. Need some Encouragement

    Also, I would suggest instantcert.com for your Lifespan and Sociology exams, if you going to CLEP those. It's cheaper than the Excelsior exams. Anyway, $20 gives you unlimited access to all of the...
  18. Need some Encouragement

    For that darn transition exam (OMG is it boring!), I studied 12+ hours for it, I woke up one day and decided I would take it the next. So, I took both practice tests right off the bat and read over...
  19. Passed Transitions Yesterday!

    Congratulations! A B is still a good score and now it is behind you. I got a B as well, a couple of weeks ago, and I agree the wording is weird. I kept feeling like I understood the overall concept,...
  20. Can I get my lvn online?

    You may be able to find a hybrid course where you do the skills and clinical part on site, but do the rest online. Some schools offer that option,
  21. Distance Learning Advice??

    One good thing about getting an Associate's in nursing is that it is attainable and it kind of serves as a demarcation or step on the way up to the next step. Just in case life gets in the way, you...
  22. Passed Chronicity

    Congratulations!
  23. Excelsior Anatomy and Physiology Exam Advice

    I only opened the textbook to look up a few key things. If you are diligent about going through the studygroup101 stuff, you should be ok. Here is another resource... You can also play with a...
  24. Needing a push!

    Break it down into chunks, if you need, but just keep going! It will all work out! I remember feeling the same way at the end of paramedic class - I wanted my life back, my personality back, a full...
  25. How do I register for a practice exam?

    I had the same problem, at first. I looked all over for it! If you log in, on the MyEC page, you should see a link on the right that says Excelsior College Practice Exams Registration. As long as you...
