  2. ON-line NP programs

    ChesterRN replied to NHRNmomof3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Update: GW is now accredited by CNNE :w00t: For verification call: 202-994-5192 It's still unclear if GW NP Grads will be eligible for California NP certification,

  4. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    ChesterRN replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Actually, there's a lot to be said for clinicals and other school related field trips. One time when I was in 6th grade, our class went to the NASA science fair. After that, I really wanted to be a...

  5. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    ChesterRN replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thats an interesting point. I wonder what would happen if all 6,000 of us decided to go to another

  6. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    ChesterRN replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    What are you trying to say...that we learn more from our patients than from educators, powerpoint slides and books combined?!? Can it be

  7. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    ChesterRN replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Very well said! As an educator and one charged with the task of hiring educators, I must say you are well aware of one of the most fundamental flaws in the provision of postsecondary

  8. Excelsior ... Next Steps ... Advice Please ... ?

    ChesterRN replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm not sure about these guides, but if they were anything like the ones I bought around 14 years ago or so, they only helped with confidence. One thing I did is bought a bunch of NCLEX books that...

  9. Excelsior ... Next Steps ... Advice Please ... ?

    ChesterRN replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Back in the day, I went in with 4 other people and shared the cost...Do you have access to other folks in your area who are in

  10. Getting hired as an RN EC grad

    ChesterRN replied to nurse1717's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Is it just me or does it seem like Liz and the OP are tag teaming EC without providing authroities? Also does EC now have an LVN-RN program as reported by the OP...I've never heard of this term used...

  11. Getting hired as an RN EC grad

    ChesterRN replied to nurse1717's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I must say that I feel there are trolls in the area. Time to put up or shut up. As an EC grad, working in CA with no history of every having one problem getting a job, I would really like to know...

  12. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    ChesterRN replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Filipino education certainly seams the way to go. Unfortunatley, when one of the hospitals I worked at about 6 years ago tried to recruit 89 nurses from the Philipines, wouldn't you know it, not one...

  13. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    ChesterRN replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Now now traumahawk, be nice...I think Liz is just troubled and misguided and wants to get to the bottom of things. You see, for us, there was no teaching--you prove it or your fail. You can do it or...

  14. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    ChesterRN replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ok, I think were on the same sheet of music now. We both agree that the terminal end goal for any graduate RN is to be a safe clinician. I'm sure you would also agree that exercising safe clinical...

  15. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    ChesterRN replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ok, now I think I see your point. You would be OK with the CPNE and EC if the above areas were tested. Is that about right? Here's what I think. Any generalist generic RN program is not worth...

  16. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    ChesterRN replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Liz, I would completely agree with you if you weren't so wrong. Section 2736, subdivision (a)(2) provides that a nursing applicant seeking licensure in California must have either successfully...

  17. Pros and Cons of Excelsior Program

    ChesterRN replied to suzanne4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Where there is total power without any form of accountability, there is always going to be corruption, especially when it comes to any form of California administrative agency. Although the decision...

  18. MALE Nurse, Female Police Officer, Female Dr.

    ChesterRN replied to likemike's topic in Male Nursing Students

    For those of you that have no problem being refered to as a "male nurse", history applauds you. From the Nightingale doctrine that only "women can be true nurses" and that nursing "is an art that...

  19. MALE Nurse, Female Police Officer, Female Dr.

    ChesterRN replied to likemike's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I use the same logic, too. I'm not eating Kentucky Fried Chicken, I'm eating KFC. I find that this helps when I'm choking down deep fried pigeon

  20. University of Phoenix Online MSN Program

    ChesterRN replied to MarkRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Check out this website and type in "uop" in the search. http://www.ripoffreport.com/ Good luck

  21. So how much do you owe?

    ChesterRN replied to Butterfly3001's topic in First Year After Licensure

    With the CPNE and all of the exams, and books, from Regents College (now Excelsier) and NCLEX-RN, I think it was around $1,300 or maybe $!,400 bones for the whole thing, and I paid for it as I went...

  22. NP without BSN?

    ChesterRN replied to nev's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Now I'm confused. A Baccalaureate of Science Degree in Nursing is not the same as a baccalaureate degree with a major in nursing? A Master of Science in Nursing does not equal a MSN? Is this...

  23. FNP program pass rate on boards?

    ChesterRN replied to happygrad06's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    They've been pretty busy over the last few months with multiple BRN's & BON's. You might want to try asking for Dean Acree or Dr. Miller. They're usually pretty responsive.

  24. Male Nursing Shoes?

    ChesterRN replied to pdpeanut's topic in Men in Nursing

    These really help my feet for those 16 hour shifts. http://www.heelsforyou.com/Images/Tonys_Shoes_V13/513.jpg They come in white too.

  25. ON-line NP programs

    ChesterRN replied to NHRNmomof3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't think ISU has an Adult NP program--only FNP and adult health. You might want to check out Ball State (also in Indiana) Part time, no on campus required, and no thesis required--only optional...
