1. Charting at time of visit?

   justrubl replied to twinengines's topic in Home Health

   We are going to computer charting in the next 6 months but right now we are still using the paper oasis. I know the laptop is going to make things faster in some ways but I am not sure about how it is going to work.

2. Charting at time of visit?

   justrubl replied to twinengines's topic in Home Health

   That sounds really nice. The rule at my agency is 24 hours whether it is a regular visit or an oasis. They will give you 48 if you are really backed up (one day last week I did 5 oasis in one day) but the policy is 24 hours.

3. any medics in excelsior?

   justrubl replied to tamzah14's topic in Online Learning

   Excelsior College used to be Regents. They changed names about 5 or 6 years ago I think. If you want to work on your program while you are in school I would start with whatever pre-reqs you need. You can only take the first 2 nursing exams before ...

4. any medics in excelsior?

   justrubl replied to tamzah14's topic in Online Learning

   Being a paramedic will definatly help. I just finished the program, passed CPNE March 18-20. The CPNE is a very stressful weekend but having CC transport experience helped keep the stress down. I have been a paramedic for 11 years.

5. Excelsior?

   justrubl replied to charleybarley's topic in Online Learning

   As far as I know (I am going through the program right now...only CPNE left) the only thing that expires is A&P, it must be newer than 10 years. The only other time limit they have is that you have to take a test within one year of paying for it...

9. Excelsior Exams?

   justrubl replied to Steven McCullum's topic in Online Learning

   The EC guides tells you what books you need to study and what chapters you need to read for a particular test. Like for NC1 the study guide will say read Ch 16-20 and know the steps of the nursing process. The chancellor's guide will list the info ...

    justrubl replied to Steven McCullum's topic in Online Learning

    I use the study guides from Chancellor's and I belong to several groups on yahoo and sometimes I use study notes posted in their files sections. There are several Yahoo groups devoted to studying for the Excelsior program and I belong to most of the...

    justrubl replied to Steven McCullum's topic in Online Learning

    Chancellor's is an independant publisher and what EC is saying is that you are not REQUIRED to use a 3rd party publisher. They are optional and they streamline the material based on the EC content guide and the recommended texts. Some publishers al...

13. Dr. Frye? Chancellor? Excel Advantage?

    justrubl replied to TrinaRoschelle's topic in Online Learning

    I have tried RUE, ExcelAdvatage, Chancellor's and The College Network. I have also looked at Dr Fry. Here are my opinions. 1. RUE, Dr. Fry and ExcelAdvantage, from their website and mail-out material, make it sound like they are a part of the scho...

14. Rue and Chancellors

    justrubl replied to Coldfoot's topic in Online Learning

    I have done both RUE and Chancellor's and I like Chancellor's better. RUE is basically a study guide and a text book and like the study guide from EC you still have to look in the book for all the info. If you need more structure and help (like I d...
