1. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

   sunshine06 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior

   That's one option working in another state for a full year but the other option for RT's is to just do clinical hours...around 500 for most I'm told. Which still sucks but those are the options right now.

   sunshine06 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior

   this came in the email. i guess they have decided to allow examination and direct licensure. as a result of the new law signed in april 2009, the georgia board of nursing (ga bon) now allows excelsior graduates who were lpns/lvns, paramedics, or mil...

   sunshine06 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior

   I hope they will revisit it and I hope it's for the better. A lot us were under the impression that if you applied before 2008 you would not have to complete clinicals no mater if your an RT, Paramedic or LPN with less experience. As long as we had a...

   FeFe23, so when are you going to try to take the CPNE if not in July? Also did you request Grady or Georgia or are going to accept out of state CPNE sites? Oh how are you preparing are going to any workshops...I was think of doing this.

   sunshine06 replied to smiley2030's topic in Online Learning

   Hi everyone, I'm live in GA and trying to finish up EC as well. I hope to be done with all this sometime next year as well. I was thinking of getting my License in TN and working there for a while as well and then getting endorsed back in. My situ...

   sunshine06 replied to ET04's topic in Urology

   I never thought about working as a dialysis center as a new grad. I haven't graduated yet but I thought I was going to start my search as the hospital but now maybe not. I checked out their website. For the New Grad program do have to be a current...

7. Q: Time line between CPNE and RN

   sunshine06 replied to Suzanneyoulike's topic in Online Learning

   Do you still have to apply through endorsement? With law 475 signed by the governor on the 29th can you just now apply for license directly to the GA BON? Oh also where did you take your CPNE?

   sunshine06 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior

   My thought is and one way is to have the Ga bon issue a temp RN license I think the bill mentions something about that. They may issue a temp license if they approve it. What decides if they will approve it or not we will have to see. Now once you g...

    sunshine06 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior

    I thought the same thing. That's why I don't understand. When the grandfather clause came about I thought current Paramedics and RT in the program would not have to go through all this. This is not fair. I'm going to call the board and EC as well....

    sunshine06 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior

    That is my concern, it doesn't say anything about RT's...what happened? I thought the other versions did, so as of now RT's would not be able to go through EC in GA and if we are currently enrolled I guess we better finish by the deadline of June 201...

    sunshine06 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior

    Gemini79, I'm sorry to hear that. Getting endorsed in past was a non-issue right? You just go get it in another state and then applied and were endorsed from what I heard. I guess it is all this waiver stuff. It must leave some gray area. If the scho...

    sunshine06 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior

    Well I'm assuming that most EC students in Cali already graduated before the deadline that was given to them and most I'm assuming were able to get jobs. They passed this years ago in Cali, mabye the Hospitals hired EC grads between a certain deadli...
