Hi ArmaniX- I have seen on the forum that california bon won't except rn education from Excelsior college... my question is even though I completed my ASN with excelsior would that pose a problem for me since I finished my BSN with Chamberlain

Hello all! I tried searching the forum but didn't see anyone with my particular issue. I'm a newly licensed FNP, I want to be licensed in california, however, I received my ASN with Excelsior but BSN with Chamberlain. Meaning I know I have to endorse my RN license in order to apply for APRN endorsement. Will I be able to endorse my RN license in California being that I received my ASN with Excelsior but BSN with Chamberlain? Thank you!

Hi - if you dont mind me asking, where did you end up going for your DNP? thank you!

hi delynn i have pm'd you . thanks!

hi bsnbedone! glad to see you here still- i have become a RN now! woohoo. onto my bsn journey now. i happened to see our message exchange from like 2 years ago. and yes you are still hilarious!

hi could you add me to that group as well? i will pm you. thank you!

I wish there wasn't such a long wait, its hard after you have a momentum going, and all of a sudden full stop because you have to wait for the CPNE date. i will keep calling everyday also!

Hi- I took the class for lifespan 1, the 8 week course. You have quizzes and exams (midterm, and final) which are timed, and you take it at home (you don't get a lot of time, so you must know the material). there was a paper due at the 6th week I believe. There is discussion groups that you have to participate in, and that was the easiest percentage you can get just for participating. Everything has percentages to it, so if you do bad on an exam, at least you can make it up in other areas. It seems like a lot of work, but it kept me disciplined, and since I knew I had deadlines, I kept on top of it. I did this while working full time. I personally loved the class, I tested out the rest of the theory exams. Hope this info helps

Hello- I used the Saunders and SG101 for the lifespan series, but mostly saunders. But that is just me. Good luck!

Congrats Nibbles!!!!! where did you take the CPNE?

omg Congrats ahinman!!! please do share your experience!

thank you Nibbles1! thank you kmd7154!! i passed yesterday as well!! haha. im also hoping to get into FCCA! =)

thank you ahinman!!!

congrats!!

yes ahinman! LS1!! God willing i pass it so i can start this FCCA now!

congrats!!! although SG101 is great and I have used it for everything but the Lifespan series, I think it would be beneficial to read the recommended textbooks - definitely go over the excelsior studyguide and the sample test questions they have (because you will see a few in the actual exam). hope that helps a bit! and congrats again!!

Passed LS3!!! moving on!! woohoo

congrats ahinman!!!

congratulations!! and thanks for sharing your experience!! gives me great hope!! sending positive vibes for your NCLEX!!

hi crisk3- i didn't have to take health differences because it was waived for me. But congrats! and sending positive vibes your way for your journey with Excelsior!!!

thanks ahinman! i appreciate your input :) ...im thinking of using the nclex book primarily and sg101 as review, perhaps LS1 first? im afraid to take LS2 right away

congrats!! a 'C' makes you move on!! so keep going!
