3 tests left...advice?

Hi all!

I am 3 tests away from beginning my nursing component. It has been a looooong road so far. Many obstacles but I am getting there. I deactivated my fb acct for the new year to try to focus on school and other aspects of my life without distractions. It has been a definite positive for me but I truly miss the excelsior groups I was active in. I have the following 3 tests to take. Can anyone offer any insight on which one to take first, study tips, recommended study material etc? I'm trying to be a cost effective as possible as well. Thank you all so much in advance for your help.

    When you start the nursing exams, you have to complete the first four in phase one. There really isn't, as far as i thought, any difference in the order in which you complete them. Once you complete the first four of phase one you can move on to the four that are in phase two. These four are more nursing focused as far as the body is concerned. The first four are alot of theorists, history of nursing, dealing with patients on a personal level.

    Once Phase one and two are completed you can move to phase three, the dreaded FCCA's. Do yourself a favor, take them both at the same time. You will read that Excelsior doesn't recommend it. Trust me, you will be kicking yourself if you take one at a time.

    Once that is done you will be where I am, sitting and waiting for the final 57 days to pass for me to take the beast, The CPNE.

    Once that is done, you're done. As far as Excelsior is concerned. After that you just have to pass the boards, the NCLEX-RN. And then do the happy dance!!!!!!!
