    BeachieRN84 replied to dolphn545's topic in Online Distance Learning

  2. First 2 EC nursing exams - what study materials?

    BeachieRN84 replied to M610's topic in Online Distance Learning

    For the first two exams, I used the Excelsior practice exams (I think these are a must!!) and SG101 CD's. I think the tougher of the two exams is Transitions because the material is very dry. I got a...

    BeachieRN84 replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Distance Learning

    BeachieRN84 replied to brenan's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sorry you did not pass, but don't be discouraged, just look at the areas you did not do well in or the subjects you didn't feel prepared in more closely. Take the practice exams and allow yourself...

    BeachieRN84 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    BeachieRN84 replied to Missy77's topic in Excelsior College
