   gdnurse replied to Computerdude's topic in General Nursing

   I agree! Epic is what I used to use in Cardiology and it was GREAT. We are now using Allscripts and I don't like it. NOT user friendly, does not do much, their Tech support is AWFUL! Our training was via WEB! I had to have my staff log in and li...

2. who else is in Chamberlain RN-BSN program currently

   gdnurse replied to sunzzi's topic in Chamberlain College

   I like Chamberlain over all but it is expensive. However, when I looked into Lewis University, UOP and others, they are all about the same price. Chamberlain gives ASN 81 credits I believe it is just for having your RN currently. That helps a lot....

   I did not know Illinois would not allow you to practice either! I just heard back from my State Board and they said they accept EC graduates and allow them to take the boards and be licesened here. Thanx for all the input.

7. Excelsior College

   gdnurse replied to gdnurse's topic in General Nursing

   I read on the Excelsior web page that Ca has brought to the Board the decision to not allow RN's practice in CA who have gone through this program recently? Is this true? Excelsior has a blurb on their web page to not apply if you are planning to ...

8. Excelsior College

   gdnurse replied to gdnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you all very much! I thought Excelsior sounded much better than Rue. And I talked to 2 nurses who went through RUE and disliked it and did not recomend it. And both took 2 times to pass clinicals. They said they made it difficult to pass???...
