    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Oueu, I, just like you, scrutinized the website and I saw no mention of pending changes/legislature either. I even printed some of the information that was found on their site when these "changes"...

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I'm hoping they will do like CA and allow us the allotted time to finish as in the time that EC gives us to complete the whole program (7 yrs). While I may be able to complete the theory exams well...

    rnlately replied to mama_bird's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I used to float at a LTC and hopefully will start back again soon. My routine involved checking the TAR for required tx while the nurse that I'm relieving is finishing her rounds. I would also check...

    @GANurse You are truly in limbo; as for me I'm only half way finished and would like to know at this point or sometime in the near future what the fall out will be. I don't like wasting time and the...

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I haven't accused you of saying anything was right or wrong. I'm talking about the whole situation and what we are being put through. Every one wants to lay blame. The board blames EC; EC blames...

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    It still amazes me how this type of learning has been acceptable for so many years; however, now it is no longer sufficient. It goes to show you how anything can be distorted in order to push an...

  15. "You don't get to tell me what to do!"

    rnlately replied to love-d-OR's topic in General Nursing

    Very unprofessional on the aide's part and the nurse he was walking with. In my opinion there is no such thing as "my patient" or "your patient" or "my side of the hall" or "your side of the hall"....

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    This is a case of the have's vs. the have not's for lack of a better description. There are truly people in this world that have attained the status that they desired in life and they don't regard...
