   HudsonValleyRN replied to spicychickensandwich's topic in General Nursing

   I agree, there are RN's, EMT's, MD's and LPN's who are poor, and those who are excellent. While I am saddened by Suesquatch opinion of herself, I do not wish to be put in the category that she places herself in. That was the reason for my post to h...

3. Is a degree from excelsior.edu worth anything?

   HudsonValleyRN replied to spicychickensandwich's topic in General Nursing

   I would like to respond to this. First of all I was not insulting Suesquatch. I am stating facts. There is a big difference between and LPN with one year of vocational training, and an RN with an advanced degree. She may not view herself as a pro...

   i take exception to your statements. look up the definition of a profession first before you say an rn is not a professional. you also should look up the definition of a vocation, since that also means a profession. a vocation is an occupation, eit...

   That is a good question, and I suppose it depends what you wish to do with the degree. I do know Nurses who have their ADN and BSN through Excelsior, and they seem to do ok. However, I do know for a fact that a degree from Excelsior is not well respe...

9. Just recieved my third rejection letter

   HudsonValleyRN replied to vaness87's topic in General Nursing

   Are you sure you really want to be a nurse? If I had to do it all over again I would not have done nursing. Maybe PA or PT? I saw another post suggesting you go to LPN school. Do not waste your time in LPN school! I don't know if you are in a 2 ...

10. Worried

    HudsonValleyRN replied to keaton90's topic in SRNA

    Don't Worry. My sister graduated from high school with a 1.6 GPA:o. (very smart girl, just wasn't motivated at the time) She got her Associates degree at a Community College and barely passed with a 2.0. (Again, she was young and while she passed...
