1. HELP: Nevada LPN Moving To California As An Excelsior Student

   Kylea replied to Nurse_AngelaNV2CA's topic in Online Learning

   I have yet to hear of anyone who has gotten past the BoN in CA with Excelisor. The only recommendation I have for you if you have to finish with Excelsior instead of changing programs (trust me, I completely understand about the financial aspects!) ...

2. Indiana State University BSN Thread for Current Students

   Kylea replied to chaxanmom's topic in Indiana (ISU)

   I took the CLEP exam they recommend and didn't score high enough for them (passed ACE req but the school wanted higher). I am taking Coastline Community College's distance program CIS100. It's a good course, the instructor seems pretty cool, and th...

4. Need help!!! Statistics and Chemistry

   Kylea replied to Guest399960's topic in General Nursing

   Most BSN programs require Gen Chem and O/Bio Chem, for 10 units. Four each for lecture and another unit each for lab or however they split it up. Good luck to you! Let me know if you find a stats class....the program I am enrolling in has a table ...

5. Need help!!! Statistics and Chemistry

   Kylea replied to Guest399960's topic in General Nursing

   I'm doing Weber's Gen Chem right now and will be taking Bio-chem next semester. It's relatively easy (it is Chem) and it does have a lab component that is accepted by most programs that require a lab. It is a bit pricey, but you can make payments.

   Hello again! I hope studying is going well for everyone! I have learned some devastating news for myself and this program lately; I am moving to Las Vegas in two weeks and this program isn't recognized in the state at all! So I am going to have t...

7. Why is it so easy to get an LPN or ADN so easily riled up?

   Kylea replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

   I really didn't want to add to the bruhaha....but. I can say, at least for my part, the only time I get upset when someone makes a blanket statement about LPN vs RN is when someone assumes that I cannot do anything and/or am not a 'real' nurse becau...

    riderd- Is 224 Mother and child? If it is (and I honestly cannot remember which number is what anymore!?!?!) I had JUST had my baby when I took it, so I was fairly familiar with the information. I did the study questions in the CSM and scored aroun...

13. Green House

    Kylea replied to bethann27's topic in Geriatric

    I have no experience as of yet; the VA I work for is doing some major remodeling and they are taking two wings of our CLC and turning them into green houses. Should be within the next year.

14. Patient doesn't know he's terminal

    Kylea replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Nursing

    I agree and disagree with the OP's situation. On the one hand, I would never outright lie to a patient. On the other, I have been in that situation. When a family member very close to me was diagnosed with ESLD and given a very poor prognosis, we ...

15. Thoughts on escorting patients to smoke

    Kylea replied to edchunt's topic in General Nursing

    I do not know what the exact situation is like at the VA the OP works at. I do know that our smoking area that is inside is closed in and the staff doing the accompanying doesn't have to go inside the actual smoke room. The doors are sliding glass ...
