SO... :yes:Now that I have passed the Microbiology exam, my next adventure is Health Safety! I read over the content guide and I feel like a lot of this is used everyday as an LPN. Of course some of it like legal implications and cultural considerati...

Im not sure how it works if you are enrolled in 2 different schools at the same time, but I don't see why it would be a problem if you aren't using financial aid at excelsior. I took micro through excelsior because mine had expired. It was difficult ...

I have 2 more exams to take before I get to the FCCA. I read on excelsior website that you can take the 2- 8 week courses together which is what I plan on doing. I was wondering if the FCCA can be "completed" before the 8 weeks is over. And if it can...

If anyone has taken both FCCA classes at the same time, how did you feel about it? Would anyone recommend taking them separately. I plan on taking them at the same time just want to make sure its a smart decision.

I don't want to know what's on it. I'm just curious as to how it is for instance. Are there exams you have to take or are there assignments to turn in. I just want to know what I'm getting in to.

Hmmm I see. Thanks for the info. How is the actual FCCA?

I took LS 1 about a week ago and passed with a B. I have made all B's and 1 A on the exams. Some people have told me that SG 101 is good to use but I just can read that and get a good understanding. I use the content guide and the recommend text book...

You can take most, if not all the prereqs through excelsior. I had all of mine done prior to starting. My advice would be to take your prereqs at another school in your area only because it probably cheaper and probably not as difficult.

I just want to add to this. Yes its only 3 days and MOST people going through Excelsior are at least LPN's so they have a pretty good baseline as far as skills go. And you have to take into consideration that the clinical is testing you on NEW grad R...

I am now studying for my 3rd Excelsior exam (health differences). I have passed my first 2 with B's . I only used the recommended text books and made my own study guides while going by the exam content guide. It is very time consuming but it did help...

Thanks! I actually have someone that is going to give me their Lisa Arrends stuff. So the plus is that I dont have to pay for it. As far as TCN goes, I know to stay away from them. Its crazy how they rip people off! I will probably just keep doing wh...

I am actually doing Excelsior College online. I am an LPN earning my ADN-RN. They also have LPN to BSN-RN. Online nursing schools DO exist. You will have to check on their website to make sure your state accepts nursing degrees from them. Most do! Th...

I took the exam and made a B! Thank goodness for practice exams:yes:. Thanks for all the advice.

So I just took practice exam A and got a 49.... ... I am really worried about this test and have been studying for about 2 months. I have study group 101 notes and I have the recommended text book. If anyone has any advice on studying or how they fel...

I did the sample questions that come with the content guide and missed 3. Which I didn't think was too bad. I've only been an LPN for a year. I am waiting for my books to arrive so I can take the practice exams and get this one over with.I tried stud...

Geeze! For sure I will be buying those practice exams! By just reading the content guide it doesn't seem awful, but I could totally see questions on the test having multiple "right" answers and having to rack your brain to choose the "best" answer lo...

Karen014 I got your message however since I don't have 15 posts it won't let me respond in a private message. If you want to private message me feel free. My email is [email protected]. I'm going through this alone so I'm always up for encouragemen...

OK so after lots of procrastination I finally took the micro exam and passed with a B!! Couldn't believe it. I will say the practice exams helped tremendously. Without them I probably would have failed it. I looked over both exams in which in made a...

This will be my first test as well. I have taken micro before but it has expired. The practice test A I took was much more in depth than I thought it would be. I did very well in micro previously but this is a bit harder. Good luck! I plan on taking ...

Thanks! I guess that makes me feel a little better. It would kill me if I fail the real thing after paying all that money. Micro is the only prerequisite I have to take thank goodness! How were the rest of the exams for nursing? Are they equally as h...

Hey everyone!! I took my Nclex yesterday on Jan 23, 2014. I really dont know how to feel about it. Part of me thinks yea I could have passed but the other part of me is freaking out because it cut me off at 85 questions and alot of them were fairly d...
