I am an LPN (6 years, LTC) I filled out the application to Excelsior College last week. They have received my transcripts. I was all set to study for and test out of Health Safety, because I noticed that as of Oct. 1 that test will not be able to be ...

Sounds like maybe the CNA wanted it done "right now", so she could finish with the patient. Definitely narcs first, then the Cath change. And yes, the charge nurse could have stepped up to help if it was urgent.

I am also studying for Health Safety.I am using rnbridge.com, Excelsior content guide and study group 101 cd. I wish I had a study buddy though.

I wanted to let everyone know that I spoke with an advisor this morning from Excelsior College and he told me that A&P 1 and 2 would be accepted from Straighterline, to fullfill the requirement for LPN to RN. A lab is NOT needed. After reading so...

Thank you Lunah!! I never thought of that. I don't know how to use that program, but I'm sure going to check into it. I have found, with previous education, that having a study buddy is the best way to go. Do you know what the "other programs" are li...

Hi there. I also am studying for my first exam, Health Safety, and felt the same way. I ordered a cd from studygroup101 off of eBay for around $10. This is a condensed version of the content guide and tons of sample test questions. I am also doing a ...

Keep in mind that you will need the gen ed requirements also. A&P, Micro, Life Span, Algebra, English, ect. Some people do some or all of the gen eds at a community college and then enroll at Excelsior for the nursing portion or Excelsior offers ...

It will only affect you if you have gen eds left to do.

After Oct 1,2012 Excelsior will only allow 7 ACE credits. Clep and Dantes will not be affected. This is my understanding. I recently filled out admission paperwork for Excelsior. They sent me a letter with my transcript review, in that letter was tha...

Thanks for the tip and the scare. Lol. What else did you use to study?

Medic1403 I also have the Rue material. I purchased what I though was the entire study lot for all of the nursing courses and some gen eds. I can not find anything for Health Safety. Did you have a textbook and study guide for Health Safety through R...

We can still take Health Safety if we are not enrolled by Oct. 1, correct?

Ntuipa, I'm am willing to give it a try. I am new to this board, so I don't think I can send you a message. My personal email is [email protected] if you want to send me your phone # so we can talk.

Hello. I am just getting started. I need A&P, Micro, Life Span, and then the nursing courses. I have the study materials for Health Safety and was going to get started on that first. I'm wondering if there is anyone in my area that wants to study...

May I please ask if you are an enrolled student at Excelsior yet? I filled out admission paperwork, but have not enrolled. I wanted to wait until I had the pre reqs done first to save money. The problem is Excelsior will not tell me what's accepted u...

Thank you for that info. I'm not sure if I want to go on or not, but that is something to consider.

May I ask what you used to study Health Safety?

I also got my admissions email today and when I read that on the bottom I got very discouraged. I'm confused as to what I should do. The only thing I can think of is to get my rear in gear and get Health Safety and A&P done before Oct.1. I hope t...

Ok, I did read the link. What does it mean? I am not enrolled yet, I wanted to get the gen eds and the two nursing classes done first to save money. I was looking at Straighterline for A&P. If I do A&P before Oct 1 it will be accepted? If so,...

Annieranks.....I tried emailing you but it came back to me. I would like to chat. My email is [email protected]

I was thinking of taking the Gerentology in place of Sociology.....any thoughts or advise?

Thanks. So, what A&P through Straighterline do I need for the LPN to RN? They have A&P 1 with and without lab and A&P 2 with and without lab?
