    DebanamRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

  2. Excelsior College- almost seems too easy

    DebanamRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    www.studygroup101.com I paid $55 for all modules and $10 for the care plan dvd. Very cheap compared to having to retest. Also purchase the practice tests from EC - $65 each, again, very, very

  4. Excelsior College- almost seems too easy

    DebanamRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    PS my grades went from Bs to As after I started using SG101. Now, if only the kids will leave me alone long enough to study for the

  5. Excelsior College- almost seems too easy

    DebanamRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I found SG101 to be very true to the EC content. I recommend them, and they were really cheap. I also purchased the Care Plan and Assessment review, well worth the money. I just wrote my first...

  6. CPNE Questions :)

    DebanamRN replied to NurseSunshine25's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Having worked only hospitals (rare around here), I am very comfortable taking care of pts. I "practice" at work. My patients generally like me, so I guess I'm doing something right. The ones who don't...

  7. Excelsior College- almost seems too easy

    DebanamRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I used SG101 and the EC practice exams. I found the exams easy. I went to a very good, very tought LPN school that well prepared me for EC. I also use my LPN med-surg book for reference. I need the...

  8. CPNE Questions :)

    DebanamRN replied to NurseSunshine25's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I went through the entire Electronic Peer Network and printed out enough material to fill 2 3" 3ring binders. I've found answers to all my questions there, as well as lots of care plans that have been...

    DebanamRN replied to stevefl's topic in Online Distance Learning

    this was the only cherry hill workshop listed for the entire year given directly by ec. i would definately keep an eye on the ec website for future dates. i'll put up a review by the end of next...

  10. Who has the best CPNE workshop?

    DebanamRN replied to stevefl's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm taking the EC workshop next week - it was the only one that had a date close enough to my CPNE and where I could get time off of work. It's in Cherry Hill, NJ which is about an hour and 1/2 from...

  11. IV start gone bad

    DebanamRN replied to lsvalliant's topic in General Nursing

    Had this happen once to a pt in the ER. Pt vagaled down and passed right out. Heart rate went down to 0 and she flatlined for a couple of seconds. It took about an hour before my heart rate went back...

  12. CPNE date - already!

    DebanamRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I applied 3 weeks ago and got a date today. Being extremely superstitious, I'm not telling the date, just that it's not that far away. I'm in shock. Maybe it's good karma because I had a pt today with...

  13. CPNE date - already!

    DebanamRN replied to DebanamRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks all! I picked first avail, cancellation date, just give me anything. Luckly, working in the ER, I'm able to "practice" on my patients, ie, doing things the EC way. But I'm being super careful...

  14. Slap in the face

    DebanamRN replied to whodunit's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital where I work does this also. It isn't a real eval, just cost containment. This year, the corporation came right out and said no raises for any of us worker bees. Next year, we will all...

  15. I suck.

    DebanamRN replied to Virgo_RN's topic in Emergency

  18. Passed Sociology today/CPNE ELIGIBLE?

    DebanamRN replied to Raggedy Ann's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just completed my CPNE app - I scanned everything in and uploaded it to the app and submitted it online. I didn't need my lpn license. The backgound check only took a couple of days. I got my...

    Don't worry. It will be fine. I really can't say anything

  22. Excelsior LPN to A.S RN program

    DebanamRN replied to chyke's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The FCCA is a focused clinical exam. It's pass/fail. It's worth 4 credits. It took me 7 months to do 8 exams, which includes Lifespan Developmental Psychology. Are your pre-reqs done? A&P, micro,...

  23. Excelsior LPN to A.S RN advice

    DebanamRN replied to chyke's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I used study guides from www.studygroup101.com and raised up my grades. Otherwise, I used a lot of my LPN textbooks, which I found better than my RN

  24. Why am I responsible for the dirty blanket???

    DebanamRN replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    I deal w/this in the ER, too. Nice to know we are in the same boat - dirty blankets, rotten food, docs not coming back or not calling in orders, etc, and all! Remember, we may send Grandma to heaven,...

  25. CNA or LPN?

    DebanamRN replied to Parker0708's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you get your CNA and go to work in a facility, that facility may pay for part or all of nursing school. BTW, I was never a CNA and wish I had been, because it was a difficult transition to nursing...
