  1. Excelsior College Help

    DebanamRN replied to deb11's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I guess I ignored them so well I forgot about them!lol Thanks for reminding

  2. First code- sort of a vent..

    DebanamRN replied to Cat_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen a lot of folks expire in the ER, sometimes they just decide to go and that's that. My Uncle died at the hospital where I work, was up for discharge, his wife left, and he just died. Better...

  3. Excelsior College Help

    DebanamRN replied to deb11's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The ATT comes when you are graduated. You must request EC to sent it to your state BON. For the regular tests, just show up it a picture ID. No watch, no cell phone, no Bluetooth. I scheduled 2 tests...

  4. is LPN a good choice?

    DebanamRN replied to studentstorm's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with Systoly. Here in NJ, the largest hc company in the state no longer hires any RN who doesn't have a BSN. Why? Because they can. We have such a glut of new grads, RN & LPN, that they...

  5. Just Applied to EC

    DebanamRN replied to medic1259's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I used my LPN texts and Studygroup101. SG101 raised my grades from Bs to As. I would also track down older versions of textbooks. I used internet searches to research some stuff. Take the practice...

  6. IV Certification

    DebanamRN replied to caitmarie813's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  8. Care Plan Book

    DebanamRN replied to timothy45638's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Several people I tested with had the 3rd edition, but I'd stick to the second to be on the safe

  9. is LPN a good choice?

    DebanamRN replied to studentstorm's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You would probably have to have roommates, depending where you live. As an LPN, you could possibly live alone but you may still have student loans to pay back. Get information from a bunch of...

  10. is LPN a good choice?

    DebanamRN replied to studentstorm's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Honestly, I'd go for the BSN. Go to a 4 year college and have that experience. Once you have kids you can't get those young years back. Get a job as a nursing assistant, if you want to work. 4 years...

  11. IV Certification

    DebanamRN replied to caitmarie813's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was certified on the job and have transferred it from job to job. I learned at my first facility. It was included in nursing orientation. I did not receive any extra money for being certified, it is...

  13. Care Plan Book

    DebanamRN replied to timothy45638's topic in Online Distance Learning

  16. Still no ATT. Did I do something wrong?

    DebanamRN replied to Faeriewand's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree - call. The paperwork could just be sitting there. Calling can get your stuff found and

  17. Stupid Question: LPN and IV Therapy

    DebanamRN replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Some facilities will not allow LPNs to give the first dose of an IV antibiotic because the RN must assess the pt during therapy for allergic/adverse reactions. For Excelsior purposes, the LPN cannot...

  18. APA format citation help?

    DebanamRN replied to KMRNOCN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just ordered it - Lisa, thanks so

  19. APA format citation help?

    DebanamRN replied to KMRNOCN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I can never get the APA right. Lisa, post a link for that program please!

  20. Stupid Question: LPN and IV Therapy

    DebanamRN replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, in most states an LPN cannot give an iv push (except for flushes) and cannot initiate a blood tranfusion (RN must spike the bag & attach tubing to pt). Some facilities do not allow LPNs to...

  21. who else is in Chamberlain RN-BSN program currently

    DebanamRN replied to sunzzi's topic in Chamberlain College

    I figure I have 3 years to get done. Andy goes to college in 4 years. I feel crunched. I just sent him to kindergargen and now I'm sending him to high school in the fall. So, even though I could take...

    DebanamRN replied to sunzzi's topic in Chamberlain College

    You've all convinced me that Chamberlain is the way to go.

  23. Being Sued / Losing License

    DebanamRN replied to Meraki's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I've been an lpn for 3 1/2 yrs. One of my clinical instructors was sued, she did nothing wrong, but happened to be the nurse on duty (L&D, no prenatal care, drug use, baby died, everybodies fault...

  24. help dont know what this means

    DebanamRN replied to bebopsbabygirl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The NCSBN (the folks that write the NCLEX tests) have review courses you can take. It might help to take something like a comprehensive review where you are getting feedback that can help you pinpoint...
