  1. Anyone use Education Portal

    Medic85907 replied to Karen014's topic in Excelsior College

    Yeah, it's a lot. If you're a visual learner and you need need microbiology and A&P, I'd say it's definitel worth it for those two classes. If you don't need those two courses, it's not worth it....

  2. Anyone use Education Portal

    Medic85907 replied to Karen014's topic in Excelsior College

    Pixie, it's a website with video courses. It's www. educationportal . com (had to space it out otherwise it creates a hyperlink) They're not affiliated with EC. I used it extensively for A&P and...

  3. Practice Exams

    Medic85907 replied to Kamilah Coney's topic in Excelsior College

    I think you're definitely making the right decision. One thing I've noticed is that the practice exam questions are much harder then the NCLEX review questions in the Saunders book. I can virtually...

    Medic85907 replied to cgreen0114's topic in Excelsior College

    The next one would start at the end of October. They run in eight week

  5. Practice Exams

    Medic85907 replied to Kamilah Coney's topic in Excelsior College

    I definitely think you could do it but I also think you're "handicapping" yourself. The practice tests are very good study tools since they provide the rationals to the answers. Besides that, some of...

  6. C = Degrees

    Medic85907 replied to NotMyProblem MSN's topic in Excelsior College

    I've seen a very skilled and knowledgeable nurse kill a patient. I've seen doctors do it, GPA is rarely the cause. In several years in the critical care medic role I learned that competence is hard to...

  7. Class hours for Fundamental of Nursing EC exam

    Medic85907 replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Excelsior College

    I assume that's Chronicity. I took it yesterday, made an A. I studied lightly (1-2 hours a day) for about two days. For day 3 I studied about six hours. For day 4 I studied about 10 hours and for day...

  8. Onto Phase II

    Medic85907 replied to Nibbles1's topic in Excelsior College

    I'm done with phase 1, now onto phase II, hoping to be done by the last week of August. As Ahiman said, they all come from a test bank. There's some serious algorithms involved in adaptive testing,...

  9. Onto Phase II

    Medic85907 replied to Nibbles1's topic in Excelsior College

    Yes, plenty of questions. Nibbles said their were 4 questions on pharmacology, I must have had at least 15 questions on pharmacology. You don't have to know every aspect of every drug but you have to...

  12. C = Degrees

    Medic85907 replied to NotMyProblem MSN's topic in Excelsior College

    I've made one A (A&P thank god), two B's and two C's. I was very disappointed with each C. I've always been a set the bar high type and always will be. It's how I motivate

  18. Onto Phase II

    Medic85907 replied to Nibbles1's topic in Excelsior College

    Thank you very much. I found the Saunders NCLEX to be a lifesaver for Health Differences and it's what I've been using so far for this exam. Good luck on Reproduction. When are you taking it? I'll be...

  19. Onto Phase II

    Medic85907 replied to Nibbles1's topic in Excelsior College

    Medic85907 replied to rrlpn's topic in Excelsior College

    I studied hard for about two days for that test, made a C. If you're grades were in the 70's for the Excelsior Practice test, take the actual test, you're ready. You did buy the Excelsior practice...

    Medic85907 replied to DelleBrock's topic in Excelsior College

    I passed A&P in February with an A after a lot of studying. The materials I used had me over-prepared and I honestly felt like the exam was easy. When I was done I knew I had made an A prior to...
