    rnlately replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I may be wayyyy off base but it would have to pass the senate in order to become a done deal. Am I not correct?? Just as SB49 would have to pass the house in order to become a done deal. Any

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I received an email last night from a Rep. (will have to check mail again for name) stating that unless HB 475 is amended he would not support it and he also stated that SB 49 would not move out of...

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I agree with you. Looks like our lovely (and I use that term loosely) representatives are adding to the problem and are offering no viable solutions other than "EC must go". Without even legitimate...

    Thanks Kim. I am diligently working towards the GA deadline and I've seen first hand the caliber or EC grads in the local hospital. What the future holds for me is uncertain but what I do know I...

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    It's interesting that she thinks "we should carefully study the issue" of distance ed via Excelsior since EC is not something new. What is there to study really? Judging by the caliber of EC grads...

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Would that be "highly educated super student also known as Dee Keeton"? I am not even obliged to answer to her ignorance because those who think they know everything about everything are the ones that...

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    This lady is so twisted it's ridiculous. In that case ALL RN's should have to complete 800 clinical hours. Edited to add: How in the heck do we get 2 yrs of RN experience if you can't even practice...

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    This is the key thing. None of us are "trying to get over" as Keeton and some of her followers believe. We only want an opportunity to further our education just as others have. Apparently she's...

  23. Are Nursing Homes a good place for a new nurse to gain experience?

    rnlately replied to Jessmed0324's topic in General Nursing

    I started per diem fresh out of the gate. I had ample orientation time and had spent many clinical hours there so I guess that helped. I guess it would depend on the facility though. And yes, I'm...

    I think it is an excellent place to start. Most things will be routine with something out of the ordinary happening once every so often. You will have opportunities to give injections, administer...
