  1. Books

    KassieLPN2RN replied to Mimi2BNP's topic in Excelsior College

    I was told by Kay at SG101 that I should always have a fundamentals and med surg book and a diagnosis book handy and should update them every couple of years for the rest of my nursing life. I...

  2. Study Group 101

    KassieLPN2RN replied to pookie5676's topic in Excelsior College

    It's really not that bad - I bought the Berger Life Span study workbook for $35 and you couldn't even read or understand half the questions and 80% of its out of order and they are a BIG publisher. I...

  3. Order of nursing exams

    KassieLPN2RN replied to aggiemom3's topic in Excelsior College

    I did them in order, except I did transition first, the life span ones seem to be alot harder or it might be just me! I did get an A on life span 2 and I used SG101, saunders and had the textbooks -...

  4. Student Loans and Nursingexam.net

    KassieLPN2RN replied to 2012JazzyRN's topic in Excelsior College

    I save and pay test by test. i'm using studygroup101 also, they are awesome. The feedback on ebay for nursingexam.net is REALLY bad.... Evidently the program doesn't work well and the answers are...

  5. vent about other nurses attitudes

    KassieLPN2RN replied to pinkfluffybunny's topic in Excelsior College

    Excuse me! MOST students who do the LPN to RN program through Excelsior are ALREADY NURSES. The ones that scare me are the ones who go straight through the BSN program, get hired as your boss and...

  6. Studyguide 101 content

    KassieLPN2RN replied to vindy's topic in Excelsior College

    I have to disagree! I have used SG101 (study guides, not notes) for all my exams so far and they are awesome and you definately can't beat the price. I have also got the notes from the Yahoo groups...

    KassieLPN2RN replied to Mrs.Mc,LPN217's topic in Excelsior College

  9. Lifespan Developmental Psychology

    KassieLPN2RN replied to crazycoach1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    studygroup101.com has one too and they are cheap at $9.99. I used it and got an A, but then I like anything

  10. LPN to RN bridge through Excelsior

    KassieLPN2RN replied to Nurse2beMN's topic in Excelsior College

    Excelsior's ADN program is a bridge - you must be an LPN or paramedic or tech of some sort. Download the nursing catalog from EC website, it explains the program pretty well. You should go directly...

  11. LS2 a difficult exam but I passed....

    KassieLPN2RN replied to chayes's topic in Excelsior College

    For Pancreatitis Demoral is not used anymore because of the loadup of metabolites - they have went back to using Morphine, even though it can cause spasms @ the sphincter of Odi, at least that is how...

    KassieLPN2RN replied to sabram's topic in Online Distance Learning

  14. Study material for Excelsior exams.

    KassieLPN2RN replied to Mudwoman's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Also - none of the exams are "NC" anymore - they were all replace several years back from what I gather. So if you look at EC for 'Nursing Concepts' exams you won't find them. The exams are called...

  15. Need help quick. Studygroup101 LS3

    KassieLPN2RN replied to cisl4him12's topic in Online Distance Learning

  16. Need help quick. Studygroup101 LS3

    KassieLPN2RN replied to cisl4him12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Another note - STDs are listed in the content guide for LS3 also, even though they were covered in repro I think it's because they are considered infectious & communicable for section

  17. Need help quick. Studygroup101 LS3

    KassieLPN2RN replied to cisl4him12's topic in Online Distance Learning

  18. Excelsior Health Safety Exam

    KassieLPN2RN replied to Erin5577's topic in Excelsior College

    I'd recommend purchase the official practice tests from Excelsior, then you know exactly what they are looking for. I checked out that website - none of the links work and there is one negative on...

  19. Transitions practice exam

    KassieLPN2RN replied to Anothertry's topic in Online Distance Learning

    After reading several posts, I think a score of low 70's has proved to be good enough to pass - as far as I can

  21. Lisa Arends study guides for EC

    KassieLPN2RN replied to echo56's topic in Excelsior College

    I have Lisa's CDs and studygroup101 - SG101 is better by far! I'm not certain that Lisa's are updated, alot of the dates are 2005. Too many passwords, you can't print half the stuff and when you do...

  22. Is this possible?

    KassieLPN2RN replied to mrstookielpn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    After Soc & Psych if you go to Life Span Deveopment and gerontology, the material overlaps alot, so your studying is halfway done!

  23. Suggested books for EC micro?

    KassieLPN2RN replied to pedilvn11's topic in Excelsior College

    I had micro demystified, an old tortora book and studygroup101 notes. I also checked out youtube videos and some of the links in the studygroup notes. I did pretty well considering that science is...

    KassieLPN2RN replied to china4mom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I understand that the FCCA is like writing a care plan sort of, but only takes a few days to complete. Not quite there yet, but I've been gathering info. Check with your advisor and tell them you want...

    KassieLPN2RN replied to scorpio82lse's topic in Online Distance Learning
