  1. Excelsior's Intro to Philosophy......anyone???

    rnlately posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Before posting this topic I conducted a search and failed to find any relevant posts; so here goes. Has anyone taken this test lately and is it more memorization than critical thinking? I'm wanting...

  2. Excelsior's Intro to Philosophy......anyone???

    rnlately replied to rnlately's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks. I wasn't aware that any such CLEP existed. I think I will try this route because Plato, Socrates, and I are not getting

  3. My timeline for A&P if anyone wants to follow along! =)

    rnlately replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Looks like you have a good game plan. Wishing you the best also. I am saving A&P for absolute last..............lol. Hoping to complete Phil., Microbiology, and Information Literacy while I wait...

  4. Excelsior's Intro to Philosophy......anyone???

    rnlately replied to rnlately's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Tasha, This is for Humanities. I clepped Sociology and Human Growth/Development for social sciences. I'll definitely post whether I pass or fail; that is unless I change my mind and test on Ethics....

  5. Clep Human Growth & Devel Test

    rnlately replied to lsilva7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Fairly easy test; great advice from

  6. Good news Florida!

    rnlately replied to stevefl's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm happy for ya'll. Considering the hassle we went through in GA I wouldn't wish that ordeal on anyone. The uncertainty placed me a year behind.............in other words I should have been...

  7. Most common LTC meds

    rnlately replied to nycNurse2b's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    :lol2::lol2:This is why we switched to liquid Potassium for most if not all of

  8. Information on outpatient dialysis

    rnlately replied to mswim's topic in General Nursing

    I lasted in dialysis for 4 months. Ours was hectic at times which caused me to lose weight because I barely had time to eat. And yes it is hectic when 2 or 3 want to get off at one time and you may...

  9. Lost my first patient - could I be in trouble?

    rnlately replied to southernhospitality's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everyone else; I don't think there is anything you could have done differently. I see BS in excess of 400 frequently and these people fare well with the proper administration of insulin....

  10. taking longer than I thought

    rnlately replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've been enrolled since Aug 2007 if that tells you anything...............lol. That's the beauty of a program such as this; when life happens or the funds are low we can take a necessary breather....

  11. Low blood sugar, juice or D50?

    rnlately replied to mappers's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I would have done just as you did. Or sometimes instead of Glucerna I will give a regular Ensure. Working in LTC provides a better advantage of preparation because we pretty well know who is most...

  12. Black Hairstyles

    rnlately replied to Emile's topic in General Nursing

    I had loose (unloced, unbraided) hair for half of nursing school and locs for the other half. No one ever made a big issue about my hair; in fact, I inspired one of my preceptors to go natural. I've...

  13. Does anyone LOVE long term care??

    rnlately replied to katy417's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Pegasus, The way you describe your day, I'm sure we must work at the same

  14. RN & GN'S WANTED!!! Your services are needed!!

    rnlately replied to 4pancakes's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't have anything to say per se; but I see you are from Kingsland. I am from Waycross........................howdy

  15. LPN seeking to obtain RN online has a plan what do you all think?

    rnlately replied to 89**11's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    They would probably help; I bought a few on ebay when I first started. I ended up ordering texts also because I like being able to read as much as possible on a subject. Almost got suckered into...

  16. Just curious - wich NC test is the hardest?

    rnlately replied to happydrunkcat's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Before last Friday I would have said NC3 because I bummed that one miserably earlier in the year. Even after I studied my butt off for my first attempt I failed. Which I guess that failure could be...

  17. Help in Georgia! EC. Advice Please!

    rnlately replied to Suzanneyoulike's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would guess speak with someone at EC about the process. If I'm not mistaken, although we may meet the criteria for licensure based on the bill, I'm sure that if we read between the lines the board,...

  18. Anxiety Attacks

    rnlately replied to kcb007's topic in General Nursing

    I had a hard time with panic attacks when I first became a nurse. They were so terrible that at times I was terrified with fear to even leave my side of town or drive. I chalk it up to the...

  19. Can you find 12 hour shifts in long term care facilities?

    rnlately replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    In my town 12hrs is the norm for the shifts. 8hr shifts are few in my neck of the

    rnlately replied to lpatt949's topic in LPN to RN

    After a long drawn out battle and many stipulations, yes it is accepted and is more favorable now toward LPNs it seems. FMI go to the distance learning forum and read the sticky on this

  21. Too Smart for Rehab Nursing

    rnlately replied to Lola77's topic in Rehabilitation

    Jerzee, I'm not an RN yet; still a few classes shy and I absolutely love Acute Rehab ( I also work per diem in LTC and hardly see any simlarities between the two) and while there are some geriatrics...

  22. 9 month LPN- RN Bridge Programs in Atlanta GA

    rnlately replied to lpatt949's topic in LPN to RN

    The degree would be granted by Excelsior College. It is not necessary to attend Kaylim to get the degree since you will have to enroll in EC anyway. I've heard that by attending Kaylim some students...

  23. Too Smart for Rehab Nursing

    rnlately replied to Lola77's topic in Rehabilitation

    I beg to differ. There is always time to try different specialties and some choose acute rehab, some LTC, some clinic, and some med/surg. I believe in people doing what makes them

  24. Summit Health flu/wellness clinics

    rnlately replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

    I think they pay mileage and hotel expenses if necessary. I haven't done anything with them since last year and am planning on applying for flu clinics this year. I look for local assignments...
