Question On Books And Tests.....

[celestlyn]

Ok, I finally got my acceptance and paid my money. They sent me a packet with the current catalog. I am now waiting for them to send me a coorifice syllabus and an evaluation of the classes I have already taken. I, too, took Human Growth and Development and I hope they don't make me take Lifespan. I just hate having to retake stuff. My questions are about the books and tests. My daughter graduated a year ago with her RN degree from a local nursing school. She brought over her enormous stack of books. I picked up the beginning book that covers Nursing Fundamentals. Will I be able to use her books or do I have to get EC textbooks to study. Do the tests cover the material in most fundamentals books? I'm anxious to take the first test or two, but not sure if I should wait until I have more information from the school. How hard are the tests? I've been an LPN for 18 years and I work in a hospital. I'm familiar with a lot of stuff, but I really want to be well prepared for the tests as I take them. I'm pretty nervous about it. I want to score high. Thanks for any info you can give me. Celeste :)

Celeste,

You can use almost any nursing books. I used books that I had from when I tried a traditional nursing program. I bought EC recommended books for the books I didn't have. Good luck.
