GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!! - Page 126

Hey,
Louisiana is the same way. Most of the Medic's that take all there stuff in Louisiana, just bop over to TX and work 1 day or 2 a week. Then in 6 months Louisana recognizes them. Just figure out the logisitcs. I know it still sucks. I am beating my head against the wall for hawaii's stuff. Good luck man.

Here are the latest amendments and changes to laws affecting graduates of non-traditional programs for the state of GA....

Highlights:

-evaluated on a case-by-case basis
-some relaxation of the requirements for preceptorship
-more flexibility in securing a preceptorship

Yes (an LPN) needs two years experience in either a LTC or Acute Care setting to apply for a GA RN license (if you did Excelsior) this was a recent ruling, see the GA BON website for details.

Recent Law Changes Regarding Nontraditional Nursing Education Programs

Hi my name is paula I'm on the list to do my preceptorship in Macon I am so stressed from waiting to get started and suggestions

Hi Paulasmith,
Did you get into the Macon preceptorship program yet ? I applied in August and is patiently waiting. They really don't communicate and keep you abreast with whats going on and how much longer you have to wait. If you are in, how long was the wait to get in ?
