HI For those of you who have completed FCCA how did you prepare and what are your thoughts?

Taking LS3 this Saturday and Transitions in Jan. I didn't realize the wait is 3-5 months for CPNE. Seriously? How difficult is the FCCA?

What did you think of LS3? I take it Sat and then Transitions in Jan.

Hi Can anyone point me to anther study guide? Website says LS3 has expired. panicking now

I can't download LS3 because link has expired. I already paid. Any suggestions?

I think I may reschedule and have to wait 8 weeks rather than fail but I will keep you posted. Thank you for your reply.

Hi Beachnurse, it's been a while since I posted. Have you taken LS3 yet? I accidently scheduled it to follow only 2 weeks after Ls2. I tried to reschedule but they didn't have anything on a Friday for another 4 weeks and i didn't want to wait that long. Do you think it is doable to pass it with only 2 week prep?

I'm actually just starting to study. I just hope i will be prepare by Aug 19. I will use Saunders, TCN module and Studyguide 101.

How many exams have you taken? I may try to test Lifespans 1,2 and 3 every 5 weeks. I think they are all hard. I found Repro to be really hard. I was fairly happy with a C though.

Saunders sounds good to me although my version is from like 2004. I have used it though for both Repro and Chronicity. I have also used Studygroup101 notes. I only used the Fundamentals text book out of required texts for the H/S exam. I'm so glad I did not go crazy buying required text books when I can use my old LPN nursing books. thanks for the insight!

I just took Repro and got a C. Actually I have gotten C's on all 3 exams, H/S and Chronicity. I would like to get a B on Lifespan 1. What are your thoughts or study tips for this exam? Thanks Cissy

Are you talking about Excelsior being the worst? This has not been my experience so far.

i noticed it has a lot of info on Repro too. I feel like I'm slacking in my studies on this one. I test in 3 weeks.

Transitions is very boring. I was going to start with that also but after talking with others I decided to save for last. I started with H/S and got a C, then Chronicity and got a C. I'm doing Repro next. I took 7 weeks to study H/S and 6 for Chronicity. I am only taking 5 for Repro. I work 32 hours. good luck

I will look you up but you try to cause i may not be able to find you. My name is Cissy Mcfadden my email is [email protected] . tty soon

Why don't you download the SG101 info? I often wonder this cause most people get the cds. Am I missing something? Do you have facebook? Maybe you can request me? I'd love to go through this with you. I took this w/e from studying but will get sg101 tomorrow and begin my studies. I take test on July 8th.

You have to earn a C or better. Two students I talked to said it was easy but I did not find it easy. I had to take it twice. It was still cheaper than EC though. It took me about 3 to 4 hours to complete.

I taped the EC content guide into a pocket recorder and listened to it in my travels. I also recorded highlights from TCN module, questions and answers, also helped. I used some of the SG101. I have only obtained C's so far but i'm just glad i passed.

I have been using Modules too and tape recording the things to know and listening to them in my care.

What have your grades been so far? I can't believe I got two C's but i'm happy I passed first time.

Maybe we can sort of go through this together. My name is Cissy. I work as an LPN at a Cancer Care Center, but also have patients with different Hematological disorders. Hope to keep in touch.

I should have purchased the newest version of Saunders but someone else had post the Pearson Vue nclex was good and I bought it. It was a waste of money for me. I'm testing for Repro on July 8th. I'm thinking of Lifespan 1 after. Which exams have you taken so far?

I passed Chronicity too but with a C, disappointed but also happy. I am also studying for Repro. I'm going to read the TCN module, get the Studyguide101notes and do EC practice exams. I also have a Pearson View nclex I will look over. How are you preparing?

Hi I have passed Chronicity and Health and Safety with C's. I moving on to Repro. How would you compare this exam to the two I have taken?

I'm on the right track then. I am doing that also. thank you!!
