starting excelsior

i am getting ready to start my lpn to asn, i am kinda nervous, just graduated from lpn school july 9, and passed boards aug 16.. any tips about excelsior and how to prepare..have three general eds to take. by the way anyone from indiana that has taken classes from ivy tech, know which microbiology, information literature and lifespan phych transfer would be helpful as for the school can't tell me until i fully enrolled. i don't plan to enroll until the first of the year because i want to take 2 nursing exams that i can take before i enroll.love to hear people experience

Congrats on your achievements thus far! Excelsior nursing program is a wonderful program as it allows the student the time to complete the exams while meeting other life obligations, however, it is by no means an "easy" program. You are responsible for the materials given in the content guide, it is a self-taught program, but highly doable with commitment from the student. There's a thread on this forum titled "Getting started with Excelsior College" which has some excellent tips/advice from past and current students, you may want to review that to get yourself acquainted with the program, as everyone completes the program at different times. Good luck :-)
