Starting EC

Published

I got my unofficial review :coollook:

I am a new grad LPN so all I have to take is the 7 nursing tests, I also have 12 gen ed credits to take which are written english, info lit, humanities and social science. I am going to concetrate on taking the nursing tests first my question is which ones should I start with? I was thinking of doing transition and health and safety together:D

I am on a mission to finish by June 2011(planning wedding and moving after I finish program), I work 32 hrs a week and dont have any kids. any suggestion to make my studying plan easier would be appreciated

Congrats.... I would not advice taking Health/Safety & Transition together, it's a lot of info. since you just graduate from LPN school, it might take you only couple weeks to review Health/Safety... but transition is a lot of memorization...anyways whatever you decide to do good luck, Welcome to EC.

I would take the tests one at a time. I believe you will find it easier and you can actually do it faster. I would do transitions first or last. It is boring as ever, so you might want to get it out of the way first.

Specializes in NICU, ER.

Congrats on your adventure! I am a 2008 grad. I believe they make you start with Nursing Concepts 1 and then you can choose. I had a few non nsg classes to do so i finished those in between my other nursing concept classes. Good Luck to you!

Specializes in ER, ICU.

I just did them in order, it was easier to keep track of. Just start knocking them off. As I got ready to take a test I paid for the next one, so that when I was ready I wouldn't lose a few days waiting for the paperwork. Good luck!

Specializes in EMS, ED, Trauma, CEN, CPEN, TCRN.

The only one I did out of order was Nursing Concepts 7 (now Transitions) -- I did that one between Nursing Concepts 4 and 5 (now called Lifespan 1 and Lifespan 2). No reason, just felt like it. :)
