  1. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Yeah it's very much a case of "heart failure" on the BON behalf and a case of "I've got mine (as in education) and who cares if you don't get yours". It's a shame how people have become. Instead of...

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Exactly. I'm not a lawyer nor do I desire to be; I just want the straight facts in layman's terms. I don't see how EC grads/students can be considered unsafe when the criteria for enrolling in the...

    Closest VA hospital is in Lake City, FL I believe. That's about 2 or more hours away from here. I guess there would be the option of working in nearby Kings Bay but that's only if they have...

    I hope it's not because that would mean uprooting my dh and child and leaving both our families behind. We were both born and raised here, it's so unfair if relocating is the

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    It would be more than comical to find out that some of the board members have been previously hospitalized and cared for by EC nurses and the nurses provided "jam up" care as I'm sure they

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I don't know if I'm frustrated with EC but I know I am definitely frustrated with GABON. I've seen nothing to the effect of HB 1041 posted on the licensing website unless I overlooked it and not only...

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    If this is the case then we definitely have to get in contact with the house members and push for an amendment. We will have to get the addresses both physical and electronic of the representatives...

    If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Thigpen lives in my town. I'm assuming that we can send snail mail to the attention of each individual at the GA BON's general address. Anyway, like I said, have fingers...

  24. FIRST DAY AT CLINICAL!!!! Advice please?

    rnlately replied to Papi15437's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is good advice if I've ever read any. I used to make it a point to assist the CNAs if my nurse/preceptor was having down time. My instructor would have killed us, buried us, and then dug us up...
