1. Testing Franchise, Lab tests without MD order?

   amee37 replied to amee37's topic in Entrepreneurs

   I am not actually affiliated with any of the Franchises, just looking into different options. I don't know what f/u is in place. Is it my understanding that people come in and order the tests they want and pay for them without insurance as far as I...

2. Testing Franchise, Lab tests without MD order?

   amee37 replied to amee37's topic in Entrepreneurs

   There is no billing, basically, people come in and have lab tests done and pay right then. I don't know the procedures for f/u but I assume they must have something in place (hopefully)!

3. Testing Franchise, Lab tests without MD order?

   amee37 posted a topic in Entrepreneurs

   I have been looking into business opportunities, a few pop up I'm interested in; 1.) Any Lab Test Now, and 2.) The Drug Test Consultant. Was wondering how are these places able to perform Lab Tests without an MD order or even MD knowledge? Does this...

   amee37 replied to dlsns2001's topic in LPN-RN

   OK-I thought I was going to do the FCCA 1st (as in brochure) but was told it won't be available until 3/09 but they let me go ahead and apply for the CPNE. As it is a 6-9 mo. wait, so be it...prob. better anyway!

7. Any ISU LPN-BSN students near St. Louis????

   amee37 replied to lholland's topic in Missouri

   Forgot to say- don't worry about the CLEPS- I took these exams quite awhile back- the cost is pretty low- just go take one- if you fail you know what you need to study- if you do OK on a practice exam-just go take the test-you'd be surprised! There a...

   amee37 replied to lholland's topic in Missouri

   Hey, I'm happy someone's here in MO too! As far as MO BON, they do accept Excelsior. I'm not sure I'm doing A and P through them yet as I only need an additional 2 credits and may be able to do this online somewhere else, their exam covers both I and...

    You may want to check out CLEP and Dantes to start and take all of the Gen Ed. stuff first. I do not have to take any Gen Ed exams except Microbiology and Anatomy (even though I've had it twice now!). The website has a brochure about what you need to...

    amee37 replied to dlsns2001's topic in LPN-RN

    It works great for me- you should probably check out the website for Excelsior- I would not do College Network, it's just an additional expense as far as I'm concerned. I waited a long time (LPN in 95) and have a BS in Administration but, with the ec...

    Not sure- the only one I know of in St. Charles with initials is NHC but never worked there although I interacted with nursing a bit. As far as Excelsior, I love it so far, there is the CPNE but I think I've enough time to prepare. See earlier posts ...

    For ned2bnurse: You can find out a lot on the web site, http://www.excelsior.edu. You can pay as you go (I do) but they also have payment plans. I know you can apply for FA as well. I have not bought any textbooks- I use the library at my local CC. I...

    Hello, I'm an LPN doing Excelsior- have passed 4 already 1st try (A's and B's) in the past 2 months. I don't have time to wait and, since I have a BS in something else, it doesn't make sense to go back for a traditional ASN. A lot of the exams so fa...
