    savagetrojan replied to PomPomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    One more thing....the recommended textbooks are exactly that....recommended. If you look at each section of the exam it will tell you what books you should NEED. And one more for the record....I've...

    savagetrojan replied to PomPomRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    OK. take a deep breath and relax.....it SEEMS like a lot of information. FIRST purchase the exam so you can purchase the PRACTICE exam. SECOND take Part I of the practice exam to see what knowledge...

  4. Passed Chronicity!!!!!!!

    savagetrojan replied to JJLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    congrats! I personally thought repro was easy, studied Saunders and SG101 for a week, took 38 minutes to take the test and got an A. I only used those two things to study. Good

  5. APII and Straighterline

    savagetrojan replied to SMOKEY2112's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can take the A&P II without lab for the excelsior a&p requirement. MissingMyErica took it for hers and she will be sitting for the NCLEX soon. I haven't taken it yet but have academic...

  6. Possibly the Quickest $2000 Ive Spent!!

    savagetrojan replied to dslpninla's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think I am giving myself a mind freak. When I started back in March I figured 8 months do to the tests and another three months for FCCA and studying for the CPNE. Now, I have only two exams left to...

  7. Is anyone in the dc, md or va area attending or attended exclesior college

    savagetrojan replied to LuvWounds's topic in Online Distance Learning

    not sure it's motivation.....maybe obsession...not quite sure, either way the closer I get to the FCCA/CPNE I seem to be slowing myself down, having reasons(making excuses) to not study. Hopefully I...

  8. Possibly the Quickest $2000 Ive Spent!!

    savagetrojan replied to dslpninla's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can do this!!!!!!!!! Just think of it this way 64% that means that people in the past have passed at a ratio of 2:1.... For every person that fails TWO PASS. I would say those are pretty good...

  9. Is anyone in the dc, md or va area attending or attended exclesior college

    savagetrojan replied to LuvWounds's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you live in MD or VA you won't be able to get licensed in either state by going through Excelsior(without stipulations). I currently live in the Shenendoah Valley and am moving to NC before I...

  10. Chronicity Help?

    savagetrojan replied to JJLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    IF you haven't taken the practice exams....DO IT! If you have taken the practice exams go back to them and read your answers. There not much sense in reading the rationales on this test due to the...

  12. FCCA info...

    savagetrojan replied to BerryHappy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for the excellent information. I am only three exams away and at a rate of two a week I am less than a month and a half from being ready for the FCCA. You didn't really go into any detail...

  13. question about a class

    savagetrojan replied to renge1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It depends on the college you wish to tranfer to. I would have to assume if you decide to stay with Excelsior through your BSN since they originally approved it then they would accept it. A good...

  14. question about a class

    savagetrojan replied to renge1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Honestly, you will pay a LOT less money and have less aggravation if you take the A&P through Straighterline and they are definately approved at Excelsior. As for the microbiology, why not just...

  15. LS 1 question

    savagetrojan posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Everyone seems to be posting some pretty "disturbing" info about the LS 1-3 exams. For all that have taken it..... If SG101 is inadequate AND the Excelsior exams are not in line with the actual exam...

  18. Straighterline

    savagetrojan replied to ARO82's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Try to look for MissingMyErica. She took A&P II(didn't need the lab) and she said it was pretty challenging but then again she did it in FOUR days! Look for her on this forum and ask her about

  19. Passed Lifespan 1..thank goodness

    savagetrojan replied to cherryblossom88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Beach...just one question...I see under the heading "nursing specialty" you have Telemetry and PCU listed....could that have had something to do with you passing with an A..hmmm????

  20. Transitions Tips

    savagetrojan replied to EssentialsforNCLEX's topic in Excelsior College

    I agree with you 100% Tasha, I find myself drifting off into my own world with audio/visual but written notes, with some explanation but to the point, I do well with. I have to wonder if this is a...

  21. Transitions Tips

    savagetrojan replied to EssentialsforNCLEX's topic in Excelsior College

    SG101 and then the Excelsior practice exams. I studied for two weeks, that has been about it for me though. I OVERSTUDIED for Health Safety for five weeks, but it was my first exam and didn't know...

  22. Passed Repro Today!!!

    savagetrojan replied to romstead's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That's too funny! I have LS-1.2.3 AND Repro plus the FCCA and CPNE and A&P II and Micro, so it appears we are at the same point, It's not as far away as you might think. I would suggest looking at...

    savagetrojan replied to JENNIFER27's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The answer to this question is usually a very sharp sting to those who aren't aware.....but....here we go. AFTER you finish any prereqs and the theory exams you then have to take a three part written...

    savagetrojan replied to NurseHopefulInOH's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I see a lot of people that have pursued their BSN and MSN after getting their ASN at Excelsior. What I am wondering is why they venture to another college instead of staying the course with...
