    BeachieRN84 posted a topic in Excelsior College

    Has anyone taking A&P 1 with Lab through straighterline.com to complete their requirements for the ADN program? I am just worried if I try and go to a traditional BSN when I finish that I will...

    BeachieRN84 replied to pinkfluffybunny's topic in Excelsior College

    I deleted my post. I don't want to argue with anyone. I found the post to be rather insulting but that is neither here nor there--I am a RN and I passed the boards like every other RN out there. EC...

    BeachieRN84 replied to NurseJenny:-)'s topic in Excelsior College

    Boston nurse, you pick a region (in your case you are going to the NPAC) and you can select one, some or all of the sites in the area. The NY sites are now two in Albany, and then Syracuse, Utica,...

    Can you send me a private message on here? I am always happy to talk to someone coming up on the CPNE. It was an experience I will remember for the rest of my days, that's for sure, but it had a very...

  10. Excelsior Journals

    BeachieRN84 replied to tommys girl's topic in Excelsior College

    I never did post mine on the Excelsior website because I included a ton of details and even the names of my examiners, and I wasn't sure how that would fly with them (even though there was nothing...

  11. All who tested in Albany, where did you stay?

    BeachieRN84 replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Excelsior College

    I stayed at the EC recommended hotel the Genessee Grande. It's like a $400 a night hotel but with the Excelsior discount it ended up being $109 per night, it was beautiful. It was within walking...

  12. All who tested in Albany, where did you stay?

  14. FCCA..How did you prepare?

    BeachieRN84 replied to cisl4him12's topic in Excelsior College

    Guys in retrospect, if you look over the Taylor's Fundamentals books that EC recommends for the H&S exam, you might see some very familiar things... ie every single critical element for the CPNE....

  15. Do you really need a workshop to pass CPNE?

    BeachieRN84 replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Excelsior College

    Yep it's just one exam for 6 credits. It's pretty much a fancy literacy test. I didn't study for it. I think Loops used the REA book when she took it though. You can check on the College Board website...

  16. Do you really need a workshop to pass CPNE?

    BeachieRN84 replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Excelsior College

    If you need Humanities take the Analyzing & Interpreting Literature CLEP. Easy easy 6 credits and it's only one exam, so you'd just have to do two exams. I used the REA book for Sociology and...

    BeachieRN84 replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Excelsior College

  21. Mosby book for FCCA question!

    BeachieRN84 replied to Kr_nurse09's topic in Excelsior College

    I used the 3rd edition for the FCCA and the CPNE. I think I got it for $14 on ebay, just be careful there is absolutely NO writing in it if you purchase used, they will examine your books each and...

  22. FCCA..How did you prepare?

    BeachieRN84 replied to cisl4him12's topic in Excelsior College

    You don't prepare for it. It's open book! The directions are vague, but if you call EC, they will tell you if you are on the right track. You can use your Mosby's Care plan book and your Taylor's...
