Hi I'm currently studying for this exam also and the NCLEX does not has any info related to it. I did buy the optional LPN to RN transition book EC recommended and it's been real helpful.

I used SG101 for this exam and passed. SG101 was pretty spot on with their info. Lots of boring stuff on this exam. All memorization :-P

There are a couple chapters in the Saunders that may help with this exam. Chptr 7 & 8 - is on legal, ethical issues, leadership and delegating. Take a look!

No, just the notes. This was my very first ECE and it was my only C. I didn't really know HOW to study for my exams yet when I took this one.... and I personally thought it was a decently tough exam... but I think partly bc the material is so boring I needed toothpicks in my eye lids to study. :-)

I would say if you're looking for flashcards, check out http://www.flashcardexchange.com and search for Excelsior Transitions or Excelsior NC7. You should find some good card sets there :-)

Hahaha....couldn't agree with you more.....I think everyone should use Transitions as a sedative before taking their CPNE!

Try studygroup101.com for the Transition study guide, much cheaper than the book and so far it is covering everything in the content guide outline. :o
