6. Nursing students sue Excelsior College

   lepew replied to ArmstrongLPN's topic in Excelsior

   I did Excelsior (Regents) in 1992. We all knew about the big CPNE at the end. I got the study guide snail mailed to me when it was time. I basically memorized the thing! Had to go to California for my weekend - there weren't any sites in Texas then-...

11. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    lepew replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Sorry you are having instructors like that. It's not right. I do not read from power points - I use them as a guide. I also use interactive techniques. I don't want to hear myself talk for two hours- I know my students don't! I try to make it fun an...

    I don't usually tell anyone. I want to see how I am treated first. Unfortunately my hubby or family always outs me. I usually just laugh it off and say it's not my area of expertise so I defer. It usually works out just fine I am a nursing profess...

15. Anyone attending Kaplan or Walden University?

    lepew replied to tadahh99's topic in NP Students

    Consider this catching hell for your comments about Walden. FYI I was accepted to many school and CHOSE Walden. You don't go there to pass boards- you already had to have a minimum of an Associates degree and be a RN. I did their MSN with a specializ...
