Thank you so much for this info Karen, it is greatly appreciated and very kind of you to post it. I'm an older guy in the midst of a career change and am into my 8th month as a working RN. I have an ADN degree and am about to enroll for my BSN. Worki...

Mods: If this thread would work bette in a different sub forum, feel free to move ..thanks. I am a graduate of Excelsior College's ADN program and want my BSN. I am considering WGU and The University of TX at Arlington. Any advice or comments regar...

Thank you for the reply The Commuter. I'm leaning towards WGU. Read some threads about students not getting good support from U of TX..hard to reach advisers etc.

After reading a lot of this old thread, WGU is looking better and better..

Be cautious with Robs..back when I was doing CPNE his were considered outdated. Remember critical elements change with each SG..missing one can result in a failure. Get on those groups..interact with other students..talk to advisers etc. The new SG c...

Bumping this thread..I passed in NOV, graduated in Jan..been working as an RN for 3 months. For cpne..you need teamwork to prep. Get on the official EC student discussion forum..under "my EC community" also..get on the "lets conquer the cpne beast" f...

Update..just finishing my orientation with correct care solutions at my local county jail. I found a full time job at a local rehab/long term care facility..hired for sub acute at a low rate (foot in the door at least..going on 3 months). Floating to...

I just checked out University of Texas at Arlington. Anyone doing that one? Heard some good comments on a few nursing groups on fb.

No labs with EC..big fat books though ha ha..

Wow great info Murse901, and thanks to everyone who has responded. Chamberlain is out. I am considering WGU and have also heard about the U of Texas at Arlington program and someone mentioned Purdue as well. Have not looked at those two yet. I'm a Ja...

Bumping this thread up, I've been considering Chamberlain or WGU for my ADN to BSN degree. Been finding (FWIW of course) complaints regarding Chamberlain. I do know someone doing it though and they seem to like it. Cost and time is an issue, I don't ...

Hi, I am recently licensed in NJ as an RN (associates). Enrolled in a BS program too through Excelsior. Getting that first job with no experience is proving to be a challenge. I am considering correctional nursing. Anyone here in NJ doing it? Any adv...

Congrats Tasha and thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks for that link, I'm in the midst of this thing.

Good luck Peterjoy..

Reebok, you have a pm..

Just SG 101? Guess I did it old school. I like books and info. Good for you.

So no books whatsoever? No reading up on subjects? Just practice tests comprised of stuff from the internet put together by who knows who? I respectfully disagree. At least old LPN or other nursing books or NCLEX books I hope. I like or need to know ...

I've done all the courses, use the content guide and get the recommended books. The content guide is your #1 source of what to know. Do a google search and there are lots and lots of posts out there from here and other sites with tips. Also, EC has a...

Really if you care about having a grasp of the topics and understanding the logic you have to have the books. Especially in this program where you don't have a teacher. At least the authors of the books are experts and draw on other sources of info. ...

Luck! Re FCCA, yes we can't talk about it. EC recommends one at a time. Depending how much time you have, some do both at once. Even if you fail one and have to retake one you will be in the same boat time wise. You would have to pay again though, $1...

Way to go, very happy for you. and thanks for the tips.

I'm also doing both sections, unfortunately we can't talk about it. Funny thing is this is the only one that I have ever really felt a need or wanted to talk about ha ha, go figure. I do feel your pain though..

Just stumbled across this, let me stress, I asked for and did not receive a replacement, I then gave a mediocre rating on e bay.
