Just found out I am going to start ECPI/MCI in Virginia Beach! Anyone else hear yet? Advice?? I don't currently work as I just retired from the Navy, but was seeing if I have any classmates out there that we can start up a study group thread or what ...

So did you make it to ECPI nursing Cohort???? How is it going???

Well, it has been a year since I started with Excelsior. It has been a while since I last posted also. A deployment got in the way. I failed my first test in January 2013 (Transitions) and passed my second (Safety) with a C. I only need the nursing ...

Neversaydiemedic, because of you, they didn't give you much of a choice when I joined the navy they just took out the $100, too many people didn't know what they were losing out on, and would never be able to get it back. Maybe you are eligible with ...

Ok, now I am starting this up. With work-downs and getting ready for dry dock, time has been slipping from me. I need to strap on the seat belt, and lock myself in my room. I will knock out at least one test in October if it is the end of me!!!!

Congrats!!!!!! Go forth and do great things!!!!

What do you call a nurse with a "C" average? A nurse. Take it, and learn from it, we can't beat ourselves up too much. I failed Transitions the first time I took it in January 2013, now I am back from deployment and have only taken 1 test between the...

I am not boots on ground, but floating in the drink on a giant vessel. I have been studying up a storm. I luck out here because it is my Chief and myself that provide care to the 330+ on our small ship. We have aided with a few medical emergencies, a...

Pixie RN, as always this is a pleasure to read. I return from my deployment soon and I am excited to finish my tests, and reach it to the CPNE. Thank you for this article.

Congrats! How long did it take you to get from the start to where you are now???

It was frustrating at first to not see the other choices, but I have realized they showed the choices that really made sense to the question, it might be one answer, or three, but not all have to be present. Maybe I am just used to it now.

Congrats to all those who passed the FCCA!!!

Tomorrow I am registered to take the Health Safety exam. I did not pass my Transitions test, but I still wanted to move forward. I have been studying for about a month and a half. It seems pretty basic, I am probably wrong again, and I hope I am not....

For those that are taking health safety, you really have to stop and read the questions carefully, it is the wording that will get you!! I should say good luck, but if you want to be a nurse we can't always rely on luck, but hard work!!

I passed Health Safety today! One down seven to go! I failed Transitions, the first week of January, so I am thinking of retaking that one as my next exam. I have been using Lisa Arends stuff, but I think I might switch to SG 101. I also have all the...

Ok, nope I was halfway to the bottom, of the first test, when I had 25 questions I was unsure of. I am going to study more, I rescheduled for next Wednesday. The 27th of February.

You put this together nicely I must say!!!

So Wednesday I am taking Transitions. My first test with Excelsior. I have been studying for about two weeks off and on, between text books, Lisa Arends notes, and the practice tests, I hope to have this conquered. People are driving me crazy to memo...

I just took this course last month, and all I use is Mac's. Easy course, completed it in about two hours. Good luck and have fun!

I am signed up for the micro course that starts on Monday. I also want to study for the transitions and health safety. I was looking through previous posts and it is difficult to figure. What books or study materials did most use for these two course...

Where do you get the TCN modules? Through TCN or ebay?? Just curious...how much do they run you for?

Should I go with Larends study guides? More Books? SG101??? What worked best for everyone really??

Ok, with Micro DeMystified, a Micro book, and Larends notes I am not getting it. I am having the hardest time just getting past one page. Has anyone taken the course before? I know it costs more, but I don't want to take the exam more than once. Has ...

OK, this is my first post. I am a hospital corpsman in the Navy, and I have been a sailor for 6 years as of yesterday. I am taking my next biggest step in life, I have decided to attend EC. I put in my application last week, and requested all of my p...

Thank everyone for the best wishes. I know it can take up to 3 years to complete. What is the average time to complete EC Nursing? I can't wait to see how this Micro test goes, I am still waiting for my materials to come in. This forum is just amazin...
