    Any RN to BSN Excelsior University Nurses Here?

    Yes, that was the hard part about their program. But gratefully I was able to excel through the courses I completed fairly easily. Unfortunately the pace was too slow for me.

    Any RN to BSN Excelsior University Nurses Here?

    I actually thought the same thing in regards to WGU. That is the main reason I, personally, didn't consider that route as an option for me. Earning my baccalaureate degree through Excelsior University will actually allow me to absorb the curriculum a...
  4. Two years ago I enrolled in Excelsior College's dual BSN-MSN in Nursing Education program. I am just 3 weeks away from completing my first 2 BSN component courses. Are there any Excelsior University alumni students here having a go at earning their B...

    In the facility where I work, the dilution directions can be found in the MAR once you hover over the medication. We don't dilute the IVP narcotics. IVP medications like zofran and protonix, we dilute those in 10ml normal saline and pushed over 2 min...

    Where are the Excelsior Warriors?

    If you are on FB, look up the Facebook group "Study Group 101" or something similar to that ? I used SG101 for ALL the nursing exams including the FCCA. It does help to have a study partner.

    Med Tele RN considering returning back to PDN

    I know asked about a visiting nurse agency, but I really just want to become a sole proprietor visiting nurse. I said visiting nurse agency because that's the only type of application I see available for services I am hoping to provide.

    Med Tele RN considering returning back to PDN

    Thanks for the reply. I actually do not want to start a home health business. The process it takes to meet all the state regulations is not worth the headache. Prior to starting my position as a Med Tele RN, I worked as a home health LPN for 6 years ...
  11. I've been working as a Med Tele RN for about 4 months now. My previous 6 plus years experience was as a Private Duty LPN. The thing is that even though my new position comes with A LOT of "perks" (for one the night shift differential...$$$) I know th...
  12. I'm in Florida and the only experience I had prior to my current job was 6 years as a Private Duty LPN. Fortunately enough during my interview last May at a GN hiring event I impressed the nurse manager. She offered me the position as a Med Tele RN b...

    Thank you Nurse Beth, MSN RN. Since I know its going to take $$$$ to start up this business, the plan is to work on the Med-Surg/Telemetry unit for the contracted 24 months. After that I should hopefully have the start up capital I need. I definitely...
