1. Minnesota Roll Call

   Spazzy Nurse replied to tiroka03's topic in Minnesota

   I live in the eastern burbs. I've always lived in MN and for a few years in northwestern WI. The winters get to me after a while, but do like living here. I don't have anything to compare it to. :) I'm an RN, splitting my part time hours between two ...

2. Nursing Assistant?

   Spazzy Nurse replied to xptp29a's topic in Minnesota

   Getting your CNA is the best way to kick off your nursing career, in my opinion. Good for you for doing it!! You will gain so much knowledge and many parts of your nursing clinicals will be a breeze after having CNA experience. I second that!

5. "Private" CPNE workshops?

   Spazzy Nurse replied to Spazzy Nurse's topic in Online Learning

   I was just curious about these "private" workshops, not the ones put on by EC or the publishing companies. It is my understanding that they are put on by former students? I had just never heard of this before and was wondering who these people are an...

6. Several CPNE questions

   Spazzy Nurse replied to AC439's topic in Online Learning

   Re: your #4 question---- if there is something that is a tough call and you just don't know the answer to (like the question you posed) you can always ask the primary nurse what they have been doing. I had a situation like this where I was unable to ...

7. adn and cna

   Spazzy Nurse replied to yangkchoua's topic in Minnesota

   I have always said that a person has not really had a JOB until they have worked as a CNA. That's a job. It's such a very, very important job with skills that you will use for the rest of your life should you enter the healthcare field. It's not alwa...

9. "Private" CPNE workshops?

   Spazzy Nurse posted a topic in Online Learning

   I've seen "private" workshops mentioned in a few posts and was wondering what the heck these are? Are they former students putting them on, through publishing companies, or what??? How long are they? And how much do they cost?

10. EC CPNE workshop

    Spazzy Nurse replied to tgb3rn's topic in Online Learning

    I went to a workshop put on by EC prior to my CPNE and I was VERY glad that I did. I thought it was money very well spent. Like medicrnohio, it calmed my nerves. I went when I was 98% ready to do my CPNE and the workshop helped me to get that last 2...

    I'm so sorry it was a rough weekend for you. I've been there so I understand completely. You know exactly what you did wrong and you will not do those things again. You have come so far and worked SO hard---- please don't give up. You can do it. Yo...

    Ditto. I know several other people in other states who it has worked out real well for as well. Good luck! :)

13. adn and cna

    Spazzy Nurse replied to yangkchoua's topic in Minnesota

    CNA = certified nursing assistant (or certified nurse's aide) ADN = associate degree in nursing I have my ADN and I am an RN. Would people who have a 2 year LPN degree also say that they have their ADN? (Sorry to answer your post with another questi...

14. The College Network?

    Spazzy Nurse replied to trustar's topic in Online Learning

    Just remember, it was College Network who told you your courses will transfer, NOT EC. As you probably know, CN is in NO WAY affiliated with EC. EC has the final say in the matter of courses which will transfer. CN can give you somewhat of an idea, b...

15. GRID, Mnemonics for CPNE

    Spazzy Nurse replied to resqyou35's topic in Excelsior

    I love seeing stuff trickle down to new students! :) Just keep in mind that things may have changed since those were written. I know there have been a few changes since I did my grid and mnemonics. Get this..... a couple years back I gave my grid to...
