  1. EC A&P How many weeks did you study?

    rh39 replied to rh39's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Chaxanmom, When I took the EC practice exam for Ethics, I got a whopping 71%. I didn't think Ethical theory was that damn hard, I figured my study efforts were obviously lacking. I redoubled my study...

  2. EC A&P How many weeks did you study?

    rh39 replied to rh39's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I guess that would be the question. 1 hour a day for 3 weeks (more or less) for Ethics may have been adequate, but I don't think an hour will do for A&P. I'm using a TCN guide, Lisa Arends CD and...

  8. EC and LTC

    rh39 replied to rh39's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Lunah, I think experiences like that would teach you to deal with following procedure, without letting nerves get the best of you. I can see how the CPNE situation could do that to anyone. I'm sure...

  9. EC and LTC

    rh39 replied to rh39's topic in Online Distance Learning

  10. EC and LTC

    rh39 replied to rh39's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Erin I am glad to hear of another LTC LPN in EC, on this board you don't hear much in regard to them, but I find it hard to believe there aren't more of us out there. I don't know about the rest of...

    rh39 replied to TammyJo's topic in Online Distance Learning

    TammyJo, Thank you for sharing your story. I am also an LPN who works in LTC. I just applied to Excelsior this month and am starting to study for exams. I have had niggling doubts about Excelsior vs....

  15. Excelsior Eng Comp vs. College writing

    rh39 replied to rh39's topic in Online Distance Learning

    rehab nurse, Thank you for the input, I think I am leaning toward the college writing, I don't think I could stand the wait for the results. I have taken several essay tests for some college courses,...

  16. Roll Call, LPN to RN Students!!!

    rh39 replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in LPN to RN

    I am curious of those LPNs that are in a Bridge program, is that something like advance placement into an RN program?. The college I'm at has a program, that allows you to knock off the first year...

  17. I just took the NCLEX - PN, my thoughts.

    rh39 replied to BigB's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I too got lots of cultural questions on diet, and postmortem care. I took my boards in '04, but I felt (and most of my classmates I talked too) that nursing school was a waste of time, since I never...

    rh39 replied to ladybugsea's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If it were up to me I would take nearly all my gen eds by CLEP, I felt I got a lot out of the 2 Psych courses I took that way. I got a used textbooks and read through them and took notes on the...

    rh39 replied to ibmissy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I took mine in November, I got the minimum (85) questions, and I passed. It was really difficult but I had the feeling when I walked out of there that I passed. I studied with Saunders, I liked it...
