  1. How much do you make 2016

    My last job in Chicago, IL (resigned in Jan 2015) - SNF $26.50/hr + $0.50/hr weekend shift differential. Started with $24/hr back in 2012 as a new grad. I had a part time home health job in Chicago as well that paid $40 per visit. Moved to Northern V...
  2. CMK Healthcare LPN Program

    I have never had an issue getting a job as a CMK grad. Employers will be asking for your license and that is all that matters. CMK was accredited by the state of IL, hence we were eligible for licensing. NLN & CCNE - that is more applicable for ...
  3. Doctor Anyone?

    St. George's University - School of Medicine - 5 more weeks until the end of Term 1 and so far it is going very well :) I hope it will stay this way :)
  4. Foreign medical graduate wanting advanced nursing

    My significant other was a physician back home and when we moved to US he finished RN through Excelsior (foreign MD to RN). Excelsior at start was more as a back up plan, but it ended up he was not able to pass USMLE Step 2 CS and he ended up being a...
  5. Go over Excelsior Practice Exams Questions in detail and if you have time, StudyGroup101 Manual will help. I know it's getting close, but grasp as much as you can before the weekend :)
  6. Excelsior College Foundations in Nursing EXAM

    It's $9.99 :)
  7. Last update Took Reproductive Health Exam today. A :) This was my last nursing Exam (excluding FCCA & CPNE ) For this one I can also say that the Practice Exams bought from Excelsior were precious source of information. Many of those questions ...
  8. Exams that appeal to Paramedics

    I took Reproductive Health today and got A :) And honestly, there were a lot of questions from those Excelsior Practice Exams. I do not know if they have different questions on the exams or all of us have the same test... If they randomly change exam...
  9. Excelsior College Foundations in Nursing EXAM

    When it comes to Foundations, Excelsior Practice Exams are helpful. I took that exam on 11/20/2014 (3 weeks ago). Personally, the topics that were covered were not "my cup of coffee". I passed with C (second C grade - along with Transition that I did...
  10. Stay or Go

    Or even better - switch to PRN at Gerogetown and take the offer at Inova. No commuting headaches. When it comes to commute, you can always ask at Georgetown to give you weekend shift so commute would not be a headache plus all schedulers love having ...
  11. Small update :) Passed Health Safety today :) Got B even tough I expected A :) There was a lot of similar questions (if not even same) from Excelsior Test A and Test B. I was really surprised with the fact that there were no SATA questions Overall,...
  12. Thanks :) Will keep updated :) I did not follow your posts, hope you're on Excelsior "journey" as well. Wishing you the best as well :)
  13. No :) I enrolled last year - 06/2013 but I was able to take Life Span exams before Fundamentals (Chronicity etc.) It's doable to take all nursing exams in 6 months but I was lazy :) LPNs are waived from Health Differences so one exam less for me. I d...
  14. Doctor Anyone?

    Many MDs are bitter. Many Nurses/NPs are bitter. On the other hand, there are a lot of MDs and Nurses who are incredible clinicians, excellent team players and happy with their jobs :) The question is - why those bitter ones started their careers in...
  15. I totally agree for LS3... Those practice exams did not help AT ALL I did get B on that one last month, but to be honest I did make a lot of guesses. "MyStudyGroup101" Study Guides and Practice Exams are usually the only things I use. I spend 4-5 d...
