StudyGroup101 Notes - Concerns

Hello all:

My first post here. I saw a thread or two about this topic but they're fairly old so I thought I'd get a fresh opinion.

I'm a paramedic in Excelsior's RN program (pre-2007 enrollment). I just purchased the entire 1-7 nursing study guide package from studygroup101.com. I went straight to the cardiovascular practice quiz in NC 4 since that's the next test I'm taking. I know it's early yet, but I have some real concerns.

Does anyone know how accurate and in-date these study guides are? One question asked about bretylium. Bretylium, for gosh sake! The only reason I knew the answer is because I've been a medic for 17 years and remember when we actually did have bretylium in the protocols.

There are multiple spelling errors and the grammar is like it was written in the 3rd world somewhere...I'm somewhat incensed at paying $55 for something that seems to have basically no proof-reading. They also don't resemble Excelsior's practice exam for the module.

But, the important thing is to find out if these things are accurate study guides. If they are, I can handle the poor formatting. But I don't want to be studying from something that turns out to be badly researched or outdated.

Can anyone advise?

Thanks much!

Hi,

I just finished Excelsior's ADN program. I used Studygroup 101 notes on several of my exams as an extra study tool. I would not use them as my only means of study. I used Chancellor's study guides and found them to be very good. I also followed the content guides and used my text books. Hop on over to Distance Learning and you will find a wealth of info on Excelsior College. Good Luck!!:D
