1. Has anyone contacted EC about the CPNE wait time?

   flspedi replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Online Learning

   I agree...I got started in this whole thing before knowing about the wait time. So foolish of me, can't afford to back out of it now-I'm in a payment plan with Chancelors. I'd love to redo it and go through a traditional school-the wait is rediculo...

3. Scared to take NC 1!

   flspedi replied to erinp88's topic in Online Learning

   Remember NC 1 talks about mild anxiety...well that's the kind of anxiety that will help you to read all the questions and answers and do your best! Good luck and let us know how it goes!

4. Chancellors

   flspedi replied to flspedi's topic in Online Learning

   The ENC: Chronicity is the same Chancellors guide for NC1...you just have to print the exam content guide to know which areas to focus on for the first test then study the rest of it for your ENC: Reproductive Health. My audio CD's don't work in my c...

5. Chancellors

   flspedi posted a topic in Online Learning

   Hey who of you Excelsior students are using Chancellor's study guides? I've taken 3 tests so far with Chancellor's and the only one I didn't do so hot on was Humanities but I hated that class. So far Micro and NC 1 have been A's! I so far have lov...

   Same here...I got a 78 and 79 on the practice tests and ended up with an A on the actual test! You can do it!

7. tired of certain calls

   flspedi replied to G'smommy's topic in Triage

   Or if they don't need to go to the ER or they can wait until regular business hours but they argue and decide to go to the ER anyway...it's like uhm why did you call anyway? My absolute fav...what is their temperature? Well they feel really warm I'...

   flspedi replied to TiffanyRN!!'s topic in Online Learning

   Hey do you have your study guide? I'm currently waiting for my application for admission to go through and want to start studying. If you can forward a copy of the study guide I'd really appreciate it!

11. Scared to take NC 1!

    flspedi replied to erinp88's topic in Online Learning

    I took NC 1 today and made an A! It's pretty easy if you have good critical thinking skills. Just think all the options through...but you should have taken your test yesterday...so...how'd it go?

12. high temps/ flu protocol

    flspedi replied to lil-hosp.usa's topic in Triage

    We don't recommend treatment until over 100.4, of course many parents will still treat at 99, but it's not recommended. We give meds in office if they have a fever over 100.4 and are due for meds, so I personally disagree with not treating until 102...

13. high temps/ flu protocol

    flspedi replied to lil-hosp.usa's topic in Triage

    Well we are in house/staff nurses that answer questions/concerns. We don't have a specific protocol-the barton schmitt is there to help guide us if we haven't a clue on what to say, but typically I'll just ask the doctor and call the parents back. ...

14. Reality Check. How many calls do you triage?

    flspedi replied to Audreyfay's topic in Triage

    So I'll start by saying I work for a pediatric center-I'm in the after hours location and we triage for 4 practices. On a given weekend (16 hours of phone calls) we (meaning me and 1 other nurse that is there in the AM only both days) do approximate...

15. LPN triage?

    flspedi replied to suthurnbelle's topic in Triage

    I agree...it depends on the facility where you are traiging.
