  1. Ohio Excelsior grads

    I graduated from Excelsior in August, passed the NCLEX in September, and was hired into the Emergency department of one of the Cleveland Clinic's community hospitals in October. I was never asked where I went to school.
  2. Nurse to patient ratio in ED

    We have 4 rooms per nurse with the possibility of 1-2 more hall beds per nurse in my ED. I'm a new nurse, so I find that any more than 4 patients seems overwhelming. I can't imagine having 8 or more! That's insane!
  3. Question about pediatric physicals

    Am I missing something or have you been asking the same question for the past 5 years?

  5. Students from Ohio

    Thanks. And the program was fine. As long as you can motivate yourself to study, you'll get through it quick. It took me a year. I used the college network books. I wouldn't recommend using them, but their material was spot on. When you get to the cp...

  9. Nclex study material

    I'm using the ATI program provided by Excelsior, Rx for Success provided by the college network, and an exam cram book I bought from Barnes and Noble. I'll let you know if they work. I test in two weeks.
  10. FCCA July 13

    Thanks

  14. Transfer of Excelsior credits to BSN program

    I already have the stats and chems from my fire science degree. I sent all my transcripts to the adviser and all the excelsior sciences were approved without the labs. I even questioned her when I got the approval. It's strange since their prereq lis...
