  11. Need Excelsior Clarification

    oops, I didn't answer your questions, did I? Okay, the length of time is up to you, though I hear it will generally take a year or so. You don't have to take exam number 2 if you have your lpn. As for...

  14. Instructor Issues.

    Alissa, I had exactly your situation - my particular teacher, though a very nice woman, could not pronounce many words, couldn't answer questions, would digress with personal stories. Just awful. I...

    Law et al, I have heard over and over that the best thing you can do is pratice taking the test. It makes total sense that you're not going to be asked to recite all those lab values you have...
  18. I've heard that, too. Is there anything you might have done that would have worked better?
  19. LC LPN, Congratulations! I finally figured out how the test works - things like if you get a question wrong, you get a less hard one, etc. Well, this is encouraging. I wonder what the pass rate is....
