| Hi, You have received a lot of good information. I went through this program. I had heard so many horror stories.... I went to a work shop before the clinical. I think that attending the workshop is what helped me pass. I practiced and practiced the lab part until I could do each one in my sleep. As one person stated do not do anything even something simple, the way you always do it. Make sure that each task is done per the nursing program's instruction. Attitude is also important, one student was so sure of himself that he just did everything the way he always did it. He flunked, it was so sad. I went to Phoenix to do my clinical and stayed in the recommended hotel. I was so nervous, but surprised at the level of support from the hotel staff. We had a shuttle to take us back and forth between the hotel and hospital. Even the driver was supportive. It is a hard program and you have to be very self motivated but it is worth it after you pass, as you will have accomplished a hard task. Use that book (guide) that the school gives you. It is a step by step process of what is expected. Good luck! |

| Re: Excelsior Graduates: Advice Needed they only want you to do what is required. they aren't looking to see how bright or excellent or genious you are. you don't have to prove to them you're better than anyone else. just do the critical elements.
