Hi Everyone, I would like to hear from all that are taking 2 or more nursing exams. What courses would you recommend taking together? Are you able to defer your students loans if you register for 6 credits or more? Thanks

Hi! Can any past/current/future students tell me about FC? I was accepted to the school and wanted to know more about your experience there. I'm trying to decide if I should go for there for the BSN program or stick with going for my ADN? FC is p...

Happy New Year everyone!!! Is anyone like me starting Excelsior in 2011? My goal is to complete my ADN by June/July 2011. I'm ready to get the ball rolling and get it done in 2011. I'm starting with H&S and then Transitions. Best of luck to ...

Did you use the practice exam? Sorry to hear but you'll pass the next go around.

I would do science courses in the classroom. A&P I & II, Micro, and Chem if needed, must have a lab component. I wouldn't jeopardize my time or money if the courses don't transfer over.

That's great! Congrats! :yeah:Way to go! I would challenge it if you feel you did better. In school students would challenge test grades so why not EC? It wouldn't hurt to try.

I'm in the same boat as the both of you. I also failed my ADN program. It took me a while to get over my experience in nursing school because I harbored such bad feelings about nursing. All the wasted time, money but I feel I have another chance w...

I was hoping to have all of my nursing exams done by now but I've been stuck in a rut lately and haven't felt like studying. So far I've done 4 exams and I have 4 more to go before the FCCA and CPNE but I can't bring myself to start reading again. I ...

Thank you guys so much for your words of encouragement.:) Its been hard at times to stay focused when life gets in the way. Best of luck to all of you and congratulations!! :heartbeat

That's great. Now you have to pay an additional $10 to have your transcript mailed.

That's what I thought too but they charge $15 to mail the study book even though you can download it. Oh well it's still cheaper than $300+ dollars.

You still have to pay an additional $10 to have your transcripts mailed to Excelsior after you finish the course. So the total is $115.

No you don't. You will get a hard copy in the mail but you can also download the book and start reading ASAP. Just go to the section My Courses and scroll down to Course Description and you should be able to download the file.

That's good news! I want to get this done by the end of summer.

I'm also doing Excelsior after failing out of a brick and mortar school. I absolutely hated every minute of nursing school. I was so stressed out and the instructors were no help whatsoever. You pretty much had to teach yourself the material. Sin...

Congratulations on passing!!! :clpty:

I've read mixed reviews from others. I'm just using the recommended books. I can't afford to purchase any other study materials. I need to save every penny for the CPNE. Good luck on your exam!

I would explore every other option before resorting to Excelsior. Are you able to get your LPN license? I would do that and then transfer to a LPN-RN program.

I'm so sorry. I feel your pain. I didn't pass my course and was dismissed from the ADN program. Since I completed 50% of the nursing program, I decided to continue with Excelsior. All of my prereqs transferred and I just need to complete the nurs...

I was in the same boat as you. I disliked my classmates and dreaded going to clinical. I hated every minute of nursing school. I was consumed with dislike for most the students and instructors that I let it consume me and didn't want to study at a...

Just be careful not to distance yourself too much. I'm a shy person so no one in class except for a few students spoke to me and I can count on my hands how many times that happened. It was like high school and the groups formed quickly. I had no ...

If you qualify for a scholarship you will only receive it once a year. So if you get a scholarship in August you have to wait til the following August to be eligible again. The most I've heard is someone getting $500 for the whole year. So if you ...

I'm doing good but I took a break for awhile. So far I've done two and working on three. I need to pick up speed if I want these done by this year.

If you look in the EC SON book on page 32. It gives you the breakdown of CPNE locations. NPAC, SPAC, and MPAC are the Northeastern, Southeastern and Midwestern Performance Assessment Centers.

Printing it at the library sounds good. I'm going to start doing that soon. You would think EC would make a binder as a way to make more money.
