   GypsyTig posted a topic in Safety

   I’m an RN (mostly psych experience) living in an area where I’ve never worked. Long story short, I’m recovering from my THIRD surgery within a year for an anal fissure (flap, redo the flap, remove the flap) and have finally realized my surgeon is a h...

4. Can CNAs pass meds in assisted living in Arkansas?

   GypsyTig replied to GypsyTig's topic in General Nursing

5. Can CNAs pass meds in assisted living in Arkansas?

   GypsyTig replied to GypsyTig's topic in General Nursing

    Oh thank you @Pixie.RN. At the time I got the message I didn't even realize there were workshops so that's where I got confused. Thanks for clearing that up.

11. CPNE changing to one day??

    GypsyTig replied to GypsyTig's topic in Excelsior

    I don't know! I remember being very happy at the time that it was cut to one day, and I remember thinking that possibly they were doing this because I've heard the waiting list for the CPNE is horrendous so if it was only one day they could fit more...

12. CPNE changing to one day??

    GypsyTig posted a topic in Excelsior

    Did I hallucinate this? I distinctly remember seeing a notice that the CPNE was changing to a one day exam. Now I can't find evidence of it anywhere and everyone who is talking about taking it is still saying the CPNE is 2 1/2 days. Have I gotten ...

14. Will Excelsior recognize credits from nursing school?
