  1. Has Excelsior figured out a way to improve CPNE wait time yet?

    Would it be an idea to send a letter to the Dean asking for an exception because of your upcoming deployment? Maybe they would grant that you be placed at the top of the cancellation list or moved up? By the way, Thank You for your service!
  2. What kind of integrative medicine jobs exist for RNs?

    So all you know about 'Alternative Medicine' is what you read on the internet? Shouldn't that be a clue for you? Allopathic medicine and Big Pharma will diss any treatment that they cannot make a billion $$ on. And they will lie to do it and plaste...

  6. Time to complete

    You can do math beginning algebra through Aleks and life span development through CLEP or DSST. If you google excelsior clep you can download the student book that has the clep exams in it. You have to take a&p and micro before the nursing clas...

    Study Guides

  10. SG101 Question

    the study guides have a how to page that tells you exactly what pages are the study guide part. everyone that i used was less than 200 page, most under 100. the how to page is like page 2 or 3. the rest is for extra if you have trouble with a certai...
  11. Excelsior Foundations in Nursing Practice 2014

    It's all health promotion and prevention one area leads right into the next and they overlap. Health promotion, Pain, chronic illness, death - it's heavier on pain and sensory so know those areas.
  12. For the content guides, how deep into each item should I go?

    Better too much than not enough I say. Why do you think it's too much information? It's not as many pages as the textbook and all the sg101 I've used have like 50 times the number of practice questions. They say practice questions help you learn....
  13. My conclusion is Excelsior...

    I've seen a couple posts where people have completed the nursing courses in 4 months (that's A LOT of WORK!!) then you'll have 2 months for fcca and you could do life span dev or english at the same time, then 4 months for CPNE - all in all if you w...
  14. Excelsior Health Safety Exam

    i think it all depends on your study habits, level of comprehension, and experience. Most people, i think, would say that health safety was one of the easier ones, as well as health differences (both fundamentals review from PN) and reproductive hea...
  15. Excelsior Credit By Exam

    Even if you decide to use the books, it wouldn't hurt to get studygroup101 because they have oodles and oodles of practice quizzes, like 1000 in each study guide and for $10 you can't beat it with a stick .
  16. CPNE workshops

    chancellor's does one in indianapolis but it's twice as much as the others and there is a person that does a 'mock' cpne in wisconsin
  17. Excelsior LPN to RN

    Aleks beginning algebra, dsst life span development, dsst religions (humanities), clep analyzing literature, psych and soc either clep or uexcel
  18. Never learned care plans

    search apples apples on fB and cpnebootcamp has a 12 day care plan class that you can take once you get to cpne
  19. I need advice for proficiency exam..

    Download the content guide outline (syllabus) from Excelsior College | Adult Nursing and look for the Smeltzer or Lewis med surg book on amazon, there are several listed for around $7 (you can get by just fine with the older 8th edition). Also I...
  20. New to the concept of nursing and Excelsior... Help!

    Info lit you can do in a few hours - it's library/internet research stuff. You can't take A&P and Micro through straighterline because they are core and it would be more than 7 ACE. Do clep or dsst for Life span, and religions or analyzing lit ...
  21. Confused: Can EC grad work in colorado or not?

    That's what it looks like!
  22. Clep vs uexcel

    DSST life span development is a letter grade - if you get a 54 or above it's an A, all the CLEP are pass/fail or a C grade so if you're worried about gpa you should do dsst.
  23. Failed A&P twice!!

    Congratulations DelleBrock - things are looking up since you took the studying into your own hands!! I've had some professors that were downright crazy and didn't know how to teach at all!
  24. Failed A&P twice!!

    The textbook is like 2000 pages and only has a few questions after each chapter. sg101 has like 500 questions, and flashcards and the study guide part is only like 200 pages the rest is practice quizzes and the like. Try youtube also for videos
  25. Failed A&P twice!!

    She passed with a B studying on her own - sounds like it may have been the professor after all.....
