  1. BIO LAB (111) at Excelsior for my science credit!!

    BeachieRN84 replied to LoopsRN2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    What I did was I checked on college board.com for colleges that administer CLEP to people who aren't students there. I called the college and asked for the testing center and scheduled. I paid a $77...

  2. ~Passed Reproductive today~

    BeachieRN84 replied to ~KelRN~'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    Honestly, I thought Reproductive was one of the easier exams. I studied for a week and took it and passed w/an A.

  3. What is your experience with ADN program through Excelsior College

    BeachieRN84 replied to Mandy79's topic in Online Distance Learning

    According to their website, the CPNE fail rate is 39%. That means that over half of the students who take it do pass. Think about it this way, the clinical instructors are pretty much the last thing...

  4. BIO LAB (111) at Excelsior for my science credit!!

    BeachieRN84 replied to LoopsRN2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Loops girlfriend I am telling you, A&I Lit is the way to go. You don't have to prepare for it.. you can't study actually.. it's reading comprehension. Easiest 6 credits I ever got.

    BeachieRN84 replied to ~KelRN~'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    Good job Kel! :-) Good luck on

  6. LS 1,2 & 3 left, but so overwhelmed, help

    BeachieRN84 replied to OneFlyNurz's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Loops, I felt Saunders was very helpful with this one since it covers so much broad and complex info. Really know your meds well, interventions and pertinent lab work. I think I saw a bit of each...

  7. LS 1,2 & 3 left, but so overwhelmed, help

    BeachieRN84 replied to OneFlyNurz's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've been trying to find CPNE journals to read, just to give me a better idea of WHERE to start studying, I feel really disorganized. Excelsior College workshop is coming to Orlando (about 1 hr from...

  8. what do you think about college network online lpn to rn

    BeachieRN84 replied to Christine30's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Why are you so intent on people going to the CPNE horror show webpage? There are successful RN's who have graduated from EC who post regularly on this board who passed the CPNE. There are also people...

  9. Life Span Developmental Psych

    BeachieRN84 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am taking this exam on Tuesday and I am kind of freaking. I just got a 64% on form A which is lower than I usually do on the first one. I have already taken Human Growth and Dev. but EC said it...

  10. Transition to professional RN role

    BeachieRN84 replied to mdcdlt123's topic in Excelsior College

    No, just the notes. This was my very first ECE and it was my only C. I didn't really know HOW to study for my exams yet when I took this one.... and I personally thought it was a decently tough...

  11. LS 1,2 & 3 left, but so overwhelmed, help

    BeachieRN84 replied to OneFlyNurz's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Seriously, taking an exam makes me physically feel ill. I can't even eat all day before I take them. I can't even imagine how much of a wreck I am going to be for the CPNE. I am starting to feel so...

  12. Life Span Developmental Psych

    BeachieRN84 replied to BeachieRN84's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Tasha, my ENTIRE exam was theorist questions, LMAO. I thought I failed. For real. I hadn't even heard of half the names on there. Thank God there was alot of Erikson. I think that's what saved me. I...

  13. Transition to professional RN role

    BeachieRN84 replied to mdcdlt123's topic in Excelsior College

    I used SG101 for this exam and passed. SG101 was pretty spot on with their info. Lots of boring stuff on this exam. All memorization

  14. EC graduate finishes BSN in 9 months!

    BeachieRN84 replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks so much for all the great info and encouragement!!! Did you do a workshop for your CPNE? (Sorry for all the questions!!!) Definately such a motivator to see an EC grad out there working as a...

  16. Excelsior slow updating

    BeachieRN84 replied to MsPC's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Last exam I took was 4/12 and it took 3 or 4 days to pop up. Maybe they're on spring break

  17. Chronicity: Studygroup101vs.CN Modules

    BeachieRN84 replied to cisl4him12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't think SG101 did a very good job with Chronicity. I would recommend using a different study source... I don't have the CN modules, so I can't help with that. Good luck!

  18. What are YOU working on this week for school???

    BeachieRN84 replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Developmental Psych.... I test on 4/26! Then it's one more CLEP between me and the FCCA/CPNE group!! :-) Happy Easter my

  19. Care Plan???

    BeachieRN84 replied to k9kabs's topic in Online Distance Learning

    We had a TON of care planning in LPN school. We had to form atleast 2 diagnosis complete with measurable goals, rationales and evaluations for every pt we saw in our clinical rotations. I felt really...

  20. Wait, wait...is it REALLY 529 pages??!!!

    BeachieRN84 replied to BerryHappy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    LOL, you're better than I am, I didn't bring my own paper. I just told the charge "I have to print my homework" and did it while I was doing my chart checks. I had to figure out a good way to sneak it...

  21. Excelsior : Chronicity!

    BeachieRN84 replied to nurse_bear's topic in Excelsior College

  22. Life Span Developmental Psych

    BeachieRN84 replied to BeachieRN84's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No I took LS2 already :-) I meant the social science class. It's so boring. I think I have post-nursing exam-itis. Thanks for the tips Tasha!! I work this weekend and then I test Tuesday so it's...

  24. Only two left... LS3 then LS2 in the next 2.5 weeks.

    BeachieRN84 replied to MsPC's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Good job!! How was the CLEP? What did you use to study? I heard instacert is good... but I can't see spending $20 for flashcards, I was just planning on reading the CLEP

  25. Finally here! FCCA/CPNE....

    BeachieRN84 replied to BerryHappy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Is that in the MPAC? I think that I heard the MPAC is one of the longer wait times due to the high demand of students wanting Texas sites. My advisor quoted me 3-4 months on the SPAC which includes...
