Hello,Hoping for some feedback. I am doing a class paper on the topic, I am writing on the employment aspects from the nurses point of view. Have 3 questions. If you have experience and time, please respond.1. How did you transition into an RN Nurse?...

Hello Everyone, I am new here, I am so glad I found this forum, after years of attending traditional courses and no closer to entering a program, I decided to give independent study a try. I am pursuing EC LPN-RN. I do work full-time, but really wou...

Hi rmarg, It's going ok so far, I am using the free content guide and the text book recommendations. I have been also comparing the sg101 guide, but to me it looks like a lot of same info simplified. The last time I attempted EC, I became overwhelmed...

I would stick to EC practice exams. I believe they are closer to the real thing than those written by for profit companies.

That's what I will be working on too, I plan on getting started this weekend.

Hi Natnat, What is your study plan, are you scheduled yet. Have you taken any tests yet, or is micro your first? It would be great if we could get a network of newbies to bounce ideas around with.

Hey Lizzy, So sorry, but, don't get discouraged, maybe you should give yourself a little more time to prepare. How long did you prepare for the test.

Good Luck on your CPNE. Your almost done!!! Great job!!!

That would be great Tammy, Thanks, I would love a buddy... I am finishing up 2 classes at the university.....I cannot see myself doing anything else there, going to class with a bunch of 18 yr old is sooooo not the way for me. Even the instructor loo...
