  1. Failed A&P twice!!

    Medic85907 replied to DelleBrock's topic in Excelsior College

    Instead of letting an anonymous stranger over the internet crush your self esteem, take a moment to think about what he is saying instead of getting defensive over something that was meant to help...

  3. study guide 101

    Medic85907 replied to maswab8's topic in Excelsior College

    You're right, I think. This doesn't say I can't... ]Students may take all undergraduate examinations a total of four times and no more than three times in a given year. All attempts, passes and...

  4. Failed A&P twice!!

    Medic85907 replied to DelleBrock's topic in Excelsior College

    BostonFNP did offer you constructive advice and something positive, you are just choosing not to see

  5. study guide 101

    Medic85907 replied to maswab8's topic in Excelsior College

    Yes, lots of practice tests with rationales. I originally passed Transitions and Health Safety using Lisa Arends notes, I made C's on both exams and was woefully unprepared for each exam. I then...

  6. Study Partner

    Medic85907 replied to carolinanurse_01's topic in Excelsior College

    Just to warn you, micro was the hardest of all the EC tests I've taken so far. That test was HARD and I've taken lots of hard tests before. Know it and know it well before you test. I'm not trying to...

  7. cpne application

    Medic85907 replied to AmyLPNtoRN82's topic in Excelsior College

    Is it through BlackBoard? If so, it's not you, it's BlackBoard. It's been running

  8. Clep vs uexcel

    Medic85907 replied to DelleBrock's topic in Excelsior College

    If I'm not mistaken you have to actually register for the EC course or you won't be able to buy EC's practice

  9. New to Excelsior!

    Medic85907 replied to Irish Angel's topic in Excelsior College

    The best thing to do is take Microbiology and A&P, pass those and then take Transitions to the Registered Nurse exam. Once that's done you can enroll in the school of nursing and finish your last...

  10. California Paramedic to RN

    Medic85907 replied to Cmmc911's topic in Excelsior College

    If you mean Excelsior then the answer is zero unless you get licensed in another state and go to work at a V.A. hospital in California. If you're in CA I would recommend a traditional brick and mortar...

  11. Pursing RN

    Medic85907 replied to Renee29's topic in Excelsior College

    Yes, it can be completed, if a person works at it. Plenty of people complete the program all the time. And believe me when I tell you that they can pull way more than 100 test questions out of those...

  12. Information Literacy Question

    Medic85907 replied to Nibbles1's topic in Excelsior College

    Yeah, I did mine in about four hours and made an A. It helps to actually read the information, which was kinda useful in some spots. It's easy, and if I'm not mistaken it's "open book"

  13. English 201

    Medic85907 replied to sheliamd's topic in Excelsior College

    For anyone that's on the fence about which one to take, the BYU class is $700 cheaper than EC's expository writing class. If help with the APA format is needed, here's a link that will tell you...

  14. NEWS: The College Network Class Action Lawsuit Filed

    Medic85907 replied to monkeyhq's topic in Excelsior College

    "An informed consumer is a smart consumer" It's hard for me to fathom how some people, in the age of the internet and instantaneous information, can't grasp that simple concept. I will spend hours...

  15. NTCX requirement

    Medic85907 replied to medic112's topic in Excelsior College

    Yeah, I've noticed some new nurse bashing as well. Some people forget that just about everything in life is cyclical. There will always be new nurses and there will always be old nurses who feel...

  16. New to Excelsior

    Medic85907 replied to Mfrazr's topic in Excelsior College

    I would have loved to take a Microbiology course through EC instead of just being limited to the test option. I had taken an A&P class before so EC A&P was no big deal but my last science...

  17. NTCX requirement

    Medic85907 replied to medic112's topic in Excelsior College

    First, I wasn't here when you were "hooted" down and I didn't do the "hooting" down. I'm glad you were able to come back here and have your "I told you so!" moment if that's what makes you happy....

  18. NTCX requirement

    Medic85907 replied to medic112's topic in Excelsior College

    Here's my take... Excelsior's current model of nursing education is going to undergo major changes, none of those changes will be painless or pleasant compared to days of old. A couple of things are...

  19. Does EC do anything special to prepare you for cpne?

    Medic85907 replied to northmississippi's topic in Excelsior College

    Three strikes and you're out. Their is a lawsuit going on over the CPNE so that may be subject to change depending on the ruling, if it gets to the inside of a

  20. Lisa Arends notes

    Medic85907 replied to Karen014's topic in Excelsior College

    Unless she offered to pay the return shipping, I would decline and then contact your credit card company to do a charge back, if you used a credit

  21. Lisa Arends notes

    Medic85907 replied to Karen014's topic in Excelsior College

    I started with Lisa Arrends notes and was less than impressed. I made two C's on the first two nursing exams by using her notes before switching to SG101 and now have an A and a B using the SG101...

  22. Anyone use Education Portal

    Medic85907 replied to Karen014's topic in Excelsior College

    Yes, Vangonotes is head and shoulders above sg101 audio, which I was not that impressed

  23. Anyone use Education Portal

    Medic85907 replied to Karen014's topic in Excelsior College

    When you click on a course there will be a window in the upper left hand corner telling you how far they've developed the course. And yes, they covered the content guide material. VangoNotes are on...

  24. Anyone use Education Portal

    Medic85907 replied to Karen014's topic in Excelsior College

    I just looked at their Lifespan course, it's 96% complete. I'll be using for as I still have that course to

  25. New to Excelsior

    Medic85907 replied to Mfrazr's topic in Excelsior College

    My primary study tool for micro and A&P was educationportal.com. It's an expensive pay site but it worked well for me. If you aren't a visual learner it probably won't be as big of a help to you....
