1. Looking for feedback/positive vibes

   Neversaydiemedic replied to Lady Kathryn's topic in Excelsior

   I did intermediate algebra and statistics for behavioral health to make sure I had my lower and upper level math completed. Both through ALEKS. I did them just over a week ago and had the ACE transcripts sent to excelsior. Both were accepted although...

2. Newbie CNA shocked "care" given by CNA co-workers!

   Neversaydiemedic replied to MidLifeChg2Nursing's topic in CNA/MA

   Also a sad fact. Many of the residents at our most notorious nursing facility were in fact frequent flyers long before that. In the few years I worked the area I saw at least 3 of our 3 time a week drug and alcohol realted patients end up there. Some...

3. Newbie CNA shocked "care" given by CNA co-workers!

   Neversaydiemedic replied to MidLifeChg2Nursing's topic in CNA/MA

   Let me give you some advice. Find employment elsewhere and enroll in LPN or ADN or go to EMT school even... ASAP. If you turn a blind eye to abuse or let it go unreported a single time you become part of the problem. As a paramedic who worked in the ...

4. Got accepted, enrolled, info lit completed!

   Neversaydiemedic replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior

   Believe it or not, I dont have it. I was a stupid, stubborn 19 year old kid. I refused the 100 dollars a month you were required to pay for it back in 1990. I swore I would never go to college... ever. Such an idiot! Now I would gladly pay out the 10...

5. Got accepted, enrolled, info lit completed!

   Neversaydiemedic replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior

   The only thing better than a self imposed deadline is knowing Excelsior is going to charge a ridiculous amount of money and make you suffer through a 16 week seminar just to take one nursing exam after july 15th. Oh yes my friends... that lit a fire ...

6. Got accepted, enrolled, info lit completed!

   Neversaydiemedic posted a topic in Excelsior

   Not really a big hurdle. But I was happy to get accepted. Before enrolling I called to make sure that all I needed was anat/phys and micro to start my nursing exams. The lady said the program went in phases and I had to have all my gen-eds just to ta...

7. New to the concept of nursing and Excelsior... Help!

   Neversaydiemedic replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior

   I have been aware of California's restrictions since paramedic school when I first looked at the program. Needing a Lab for a nursing degree in the state of florida I understand, for a BSN at some schools I understand. I have not one heard one instan...

8. New to the concept of nursing and Excelsior... Help!

   Neversaydiemedic replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior

   WHOAH!!!! Pump the brakes for a second... I live in Texas but am from Florida and planned on returning. If I get my BSN I would just go ahead and use excelsior so no problem there. There is nothing on excelsiors website listing any restrictions in F...

9. The College Network study guides worth it?

   Neversaydiemedic replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior

   I snagged 2 of the nursing books for 13$ a piece, 30$ for anatomy still sealed with DVDs. Unless I find them useful resources I am sure I can resell them and not loose a dime.

10. The College Network study guides worth it?

    Neversaydiemedic replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior

    Good to know Barb. I hate reading tons and tons of information when I am after a few key points. I find most text books great once I have a better working knowledge of what I am studying. I stary with audio, then on to study guides, then the full tex...

11. The College Network study guides worth it?

    Neversaydiemedic posted a topic in Excelsior

    Not the program itself... I have known a bunch of Fire Monkeys that have paid for the program and never even cracked a book ( No offense to fire mokeys ). I would sign up for the Amway sceme before I ever let TCN vampires make a penny off of me. I ha...

12. Lisa Arant Study Notes

    Neversaydiemedic replied to maswab8's topic in Excelsior

    When I applied the first time I bought a Lisa Arend CD. I was not at all impressed. I have recently downloaded the SG-101 PDF and Audio for Anatomy and Microbiology and Human lifespan psychology. Tons and Tons and Tons of info, well done professional...

13. New to the concept of nursing and Excelsior... Help!

    Neversaydiemedic replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior

    I started studying Anatomy yesterday using education-portal.com. I have one lower level math and one upper level math I did at Aleks and recieved and ace transcript for that I am praying Excelsior accepts. They have recieved all of my transcripts, ju...

14. Education Portal... seems well worth the money.

    Neversaydiemedic replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior

    The internet out here is so slow that its hard to watch anything streaming. I will pre-game and have plenty of downloaded videos and audio befor my next rotation however. I guess the layout is nice because if i get interupted with work ( Say it aint ...

15. Education Portal... seems well worth the money.

    Neversaydiemedic posted a topic in Excelsior

    Last night on the reccomendation of a forum member I took a look at education-portal.com. They appear to have just about every subject you could ever want to study, but I wasnt thrilled about 50$ a month. I tried the free trial. After discovering the...
