   JanWrotenRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi all! I cannot believe this is happening-I was an LPN for 30yrs, and have only been an RN for 8 months and I'm worried I am going to lose my license. I am thinking of calling the LABON on Monday, but I'm a nervous wreck AND I'm angry and I need so...

4. Who has passed using Suzanne's plan

   JanWrotenRN replied to scubadooII's topic in NCLEX

   I did, I did!!!!! I didn't even finish it because I decided to take a cancellation date three weeks earlier than my original date. I got through step one and a little of step two of the plan. I had 75 questions--most were priority and SATA, 2 dru...

   JanWrotenRN posted a topic in Agency

   Hi, all!! I have been an LPN for 29yrs and started working for a few agencies over a year ago. Upon hire, I made it clear that I was enrolled in Excelsior College and would be an RN as soon as humanly possible. They were all THRILLED and said I cou...

   Hi! I just finished July 25-my graduation date is Sept. 19. I loved the program-I finished the whole thing-prereqs and NCs in 5 months. Then I waited 5 months for my CPNE date. It's not easy by any means, but it is worth it. Working full time and ...

   Hey, Melinurse!! Yeah, that's what I'm Screaming!!!! My step daughter graduated from LSU with her BSN when I was in the middle of doing my NC 5. She made a snotty remark, so I got on the computer and paid for the Practice exam so SHE could take it....

8. Is Nursing in NOLA Really That Bad?

   JanWrotenRN replied to cpkRN's topic in Louisiana

   I believe management has a lot to do with nurse dissatisfaction. I work in numerous facilities, large and small, and that is the number one complaint. I work for several agencies and I love it. Best decision I ever made career-wise. Yes, I've met s...

    JanWrotenRN replied to beachcomber64's topic in Online Learning

    Hi, neighbor! I just passed CPNE 7/25 at Albany Med Center, NY. It was a wonderful experience. My CA and CEs were awesome. It is a do-able test if you are prepared and confident of your skills. Read my post on EPN CPNE journals or PM me. I'll be hap...

11. Wouldn't it count?

    JanWrotenRN replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Online Learning

    I work for several agencies and therefore, go to different facilities. Unless I tell them I'm an LPN they have no clue that I'm not an RN. Usually, I work with other agency nurses who know that I was doing EC and they are interested in doing it too, ...

    Hi! Even with a family and working full time I enrolled in EC July '07,started taking my Gen Ed Cleps/Dantes in Aug, and finished the entire program by Jan 15 '08 so it is quite doable. I am now in the CPNE holding pattern as well. I loved the progr...

14. CPNE.....proctoring

    JanWrotenRN posted a topic in Online Learning

    Just the ramblings of a very tired mind... You would think that with such a HUGE waiting list for CPNE, some sort of alternative "Plan B" would be devised. If an RN in your hometown (or, even better-- at the facility you work at) would be willing t...

    I had the same problem and literally broke down in tears of frustration while talking to the Board secretary on the phone November of last year. I just happened to mention that the last 5 years were spent caring for my ill parents. Guess what? they t...
