    I'm starting both today as
  2. Excelsior transition exam

    I have used TCN modules for all the tests and have passed all of them with A's and B's in less than 2 weeks per test. Their study guides are spot on. They are expensive
  3. Question about Excelsior

    Your best bet is to call an Excelsior nursing advisor. If you go to Excelsior.edu you can find the phone number. Calling them directly is probably better than someone guessing. In my experience, their...
  4. Lifespan 3

    I am also studying for this one. I test on the 20th. So far, it seems like a review of the other tests. I am using the TCN module. Good
  5. Health Differences?

    I found that to be the hardest test I've taken yet. I used the TCN module and the EC practice exam to prepare for it. As a paramedic, I thought I had a firm grasp on the whole acid-base balance and...
  6. That's incredible! I also started the program mid-June. I've completed all my prereq's (except the info lit course) and 5 of the 8 nursing classes. I'm working on the LS ones now. I felt like I was...
  7. HERE I GO..AHHH...r/o

    You always get two sheets of paper from them. Open it and see how you
  8. HERE I GO..AHHH...r/o

    Well I passed chronicity with an A somehow. I thought the pearsonvue lady gave me the wrong results. Jlynn and curiy, how did you two make out with your
  9. HERE I GO..AHHH...r/o

    Relax. Your practice exam scores were good. Get there 30 mins early with a valid photo id and you're good. Good luck! I'm taking chronicity tomorrow, so I feel your pain about the
  10. A few questions...

    For transitions, make sure you know the theories. No dates, so don't worry about those. And I think that health differences has been the most difficult test so far. I only give myself two weeks for...
  11. Health Safety and Transitions

    I was "suckered" into tcn by a tcn salesman. I didn't do much, if any, research about other options, such as buying the textbooks recommended by Excelsior. I spent about $5k with tcn which included...
  12. Health Safety and Transitions

    I've used tcn modules to pass all my prerequisites and 3 of the nursing theory courses. They are very thorough. Also, the excelsior practice exams have helped me prepare for their
  13. V-fib refractory to an initial/second shock

    It means that the v- fib is being stubborn and has not converted with the shocks. It does not mean that the pt was thrown into v-fib by a defib. Another example would be continued SVT refractory to 6...
  14. I passed Health safety

    I just took health safety this week and got an A after studying for about 2 weeks. The sg101 was spot on for this test. I also used the tcn module but I found that the sg101 material was a little...
  15. Course vs Exam

    I used the tcn module and study group 101 to study for the exam. For me, the key was making about 500 flash cards. It's a ton to memorize, but for that test memorization was super important. I would...
  16. I am also using TCN. Did you use anything else or just that
  17. Study Plan calendar based on Excelsior's ECG

    I've found that two weeks has been plenty of time to study for the EC tests. I don't have kids and I only work at the FD two 24 hr shifts per week (most of which i can study during). I'm also only...
