Excelsior Nursing LPN to RN Student - cbaranick - 01-16-2014

Hello,

I was wondering if this forum is beneficial to a nursing student with Excelsior in the LPN to RN program. I have satisfied all general requirements through CLEPs and prior college credit. I am now down to Micro, A&P and the nursing classes.

Is there exam feedback on there for the Excelsior nursing exams?

Thanks so much.

I don't think there is a lot of feedback on them on here, but there should be at allnurses.com.

Hi,

I am an RN that started out as an LPN and finished my RN with Excelsior. All Nurses is a great resource. Here...not so much. Free Clep Prep is somewhat the same but also helpful for passing the exams you have left.

Really the hardest and most stressful part is passing the CPNE. For that I recommend "Let's Counquer the CPNE beast together facebook page. But for now, just concentrate on the A&P. The Micro is tricky, so my advice is to take that after A&P I and A&P II. If you really stubble with Micro try Microbiology for dummies and see if you can volunteer in a lab. I had no problem with Micro after I learn how Micro works. But that's just how my brain works...if I see how something works it's easier to perform on a test.

Best of luck!
Tara

Free CLEP Prep just brings you back to posts on here for the best advice... So I would say stick with All Nurses. Also, I would absolutely take the EC practice exams. Yeah, they cost money, but I recall seeing some of the review questions or questions very similar to them on the actual exam. A&P I, II and Micro are pretty tough, so I do strongly recommend the EC practice exams no matter what. When you take those exams take note on the areas you are weak in and study those areas with extra effort.

I loved the "for Dummies" books in these subjects. Within about a month, I was ready for each exam. I think you can be too Smile
