Took Repro today & made my first A on an excelsior exam (I've made 3 Bs & 2 Cs)....can't believe I can finally say that I only have 1 exam left!! Moving on to LS3, any advice?

I got my test date, May 3-5 in Queens. Anyone else testing there or any advice from previous testers there?

Yes, I guess I should have clarified....I was getting confused by the last 2 posts :)

Good luck, I just got my date as well...I took a cancellation May 3-5 in Queens. Happy Studying!!

You should try calling them if you are trying to get a date pretty quick

What region did you apply to?

I did that one, but since my results were 5 pages, it put it in a jpg.zip file, which will not upload

I have been working on my app since yesterday & the only thing I have left to do is attach the documents, but I can't figure out how to change my background check results from PDF to a picture file. How did you all do this?

Has anyone taken Info Lit thru Penn Foster in the past month? The excelsior advisor told me that they would accept it as long as Penn Foster was ACE accredited and that I would need to check with Penn Foster about the accreditation prior to registeri...

I am starting both sections, what fun!! Haha, no idea what I'm supposed to expect!

Good to know, the guy at PF was the one that told me it wasn't compatible! Seems that they don't know anything about this class over there!

Thanks, I think that's what I'll do, hopefully it'll regain accreditation by March!

Well now I have no idea what to do, on the Facebook CPNE page, a guy was told today by a different advisor that EC won't take the PF info lit right now, he even posted the email. If I have it in writing that they will accept it, do they have to honor...

Thank you! I keep reading that everyone did it quick, which is great for me bc apparently the course isn't compatible with a Mac so I'm going to go visit my mom for a few days and do it on her computer.

Thanks for the replies, I called penn foster again today & they assured me that the course is ACE approved. So I emailed an excelsior advisor just to triple check & he responded that they will accept the course!

It's 2:30am & I'm still up studying my heart (or brain) out for this exam. I'm scheduled to take it Monday the 17th. Any advice? Did anyone notice there being a ton of questions on a particular subject (disease, meds, particular section, etc.)? A...

I used the TCN module that I borrowed from someone. I would recommend using the required texts to go along with it, not all of the info was there.

Yep! Going to start FCCA on Jan 7. I'm also doing a CLEP test for the human development across the lifespan and penn foster for info lit. Going to try hard and finish both before FCCA begins!

I passed!!!!!!! Barely, but hey C=RN right? IMO, that was the hardest test of all!! I can't believe I'm finally moving on, one huge step closer to being an RN!!!!

Send happy thoughts/prayers my way! I test in the morning! If I pass, I will be DONE with the theory exams!!! Ahhhhhh so much pressure!!

LOL!! But yes, how long is up to you and whether or not/how many general ed courses you will have to take alongside the nursing exams. Good luck!!

I'm also using the TCN module and the required texts (even though I haven't opened a text book yet) this is my first time using a TCN module, but I really like it, most of all the material is there. I've noticed a few things that are on the content g...

The link to download it is on the MyDetails tab of MyExcelsior, I just downloaded it and I am not CPNE eligible yet either

I basically took the first practice test before doing any studying. While going over the prac tests, i read all of the rationales-even the ones that were not the correct answers bc a lot of time they give you more info about other areas. Anything th...
