Congrats!! :yeah:That's wonderful. I bet it is an amazing feeling.

Congrats!!! Studying for Health Differences now. Think I'm saving Repro for last since it should be my easiest..work maternity and teach prenatal class. So do you think the 2 you failed were the hardest of all? I'm going to do Chronicity after this o...

Taking Transition tomorrow . Will never be more glad in my life to have a test over with!! Holy miserable studying! 66% on first practice test and 71% on 2nd. I know they are not exactly indicative of the grade you will receive but they sure don't h...

Thanks! I studied 10 days but devoted all free time to it. I did make some of my own flashcards on the leaders and religious orders since I just couldn't seem to absorb them.

I'm only using Studygroup101 and the practice tests through Excelsior. I have a friends study guides from Chancellor's but haven't used them yet. I've read my people say they get books off Amazon or ebay. I've only taken Health Safety and Transition ...

Thanks everyone...I GOT AN A!!! Yay!! Super glad it's over too. Scheduling Health Differences for 2wks :)

I got a loan through Sallie Mae. They do have repayment plans where you can defer repaying until you are done or just pay the interest until you're done. Good luck!

I sent you a pm :)

Oh I've been out for almost 10 so I'm stuck taking it!! I'll be anxious to hear what you think of Chronicity!

Congrats!! I take it Thurs. How was it? Studying this is boring me to tears! I have finished Health Safety too but will be taking Health Differences next. Good luck!

I took the practice exam before studying and got a 73%, then after I got a 71% so I was discouraged too but went and took it anyway. I got an A on the test so I agree that the scores are not a fair representation of what your grade will be. Although ...

Googled StudyGroup 101 and bought the disc off of their site. Sorry missed that in my reply.

I am. I downloaded the Study content guide off of Excelsior. Only took me 2 weeks for the first test. Dont' expect all to be that easy. I bought StudyGroup 101.

I don't think Excelsior offers a straight LPN to BSN. Pretty sure you must go ASN first. Just took my 1st test, got an A From what I have read (and I research like a crazy person) if you really feel you need the College Network study material get it...

Hi! I just took Health Safety today so I'm relatively new too. I just googled StudyGuide101 and got the website. Paid for all nursing guides and had them sent on 1 disc. I just used that and the practice exams, studied lightly for 2 wks and got an A!...

Congrats on your A! :yeah:Thanks! That is helpful info. I take it next Weds. I got a 73 on practice A before studying and have been lightly studying for 2 weeks. Looking forward to getting the 1st test out of the way.

Hello All! Scheduling my 1st test, Health Safety, for next week. Took the practice test A before studying and got a 75 so I'm fairly confident I can be ready by next week. My advisor called me today and kind of took the air out of my balloon when I...

After a few weeks of getting my ducks in a row I'm all set to get started. Anyone else just starting? I could use having a support group if anyone else is in the beginning stages Also for my experienced pros, anyone willing to share a list of the ma...

Thanks so much everyone! I helps greatly to know others have done it in a year or less. I am determined!

Hi All! So happy to of found this site and all of your knowledge :) 15 years after starting BSN school (dropped out a few years in due to daughter 1), LPN school as a single mom, a marriage, 9 years, and 2 babies later, FINALLY hoping to finish my dr...

After spending the majority of the last 2 days on the phone with Sallie Mae and Excelsior I have to say I'm getting nervous about both of those decisions. Neither one of their customer services reps seem to have any idea what the h is going on. Anyw...

Thanks! I'll try to keep up with both of you as we go

Oh lord that makes me sick. I wonder if it's too late to change. I talked to Wells Fargo and Sallie Mae and the interest rate was better at Sallie Mae. My loan was approved but not certified yet. Will be on Monday.

Hey thank you so much!!! I thought that's what I figured out but it's nice to hear from someone that's been there :)

Actually Sallie Mae seperated from the government in 04. I ended up on the phone with all involved most of today again and think I finally received the right answer. I had to be enrolled for the school to certify the loan so I went ahead and paid tha...
