  2. Canadian Excelsior College Grads

    anticoagulationurse replied to barbiedee's topic in Online Distance Learning

    From what I gather it doesn't matter so much where you are from (ie. Canada) but rather, to which Board of Nursing you are applying for in the states, and what requirements THAT BoN has for Excelsior...

    anticoagulationurse replied to FEELYRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    anticoagulationurse replied to rehab nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well here I am in Alaska. Before I left to come here, my husband was laid off work and the day I was leaving to travel here I got bad medical news. So, after working in AK full time for 7 weeks now I...

  17. Cpne Process

    anticoagulationurse replied to Boston-RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    One hiccup is that I was CPR certified through my employer and assumed it would be sufficient. Had all the other application stuff ready, but EC refused to accept my CPR card. It was a set back and...

  18. Silly Question re NCLEX

    anticoagulationurse replied to rigmedic's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You just schedule with Pearson VUE just like before. Now, of course this is AFTER you have applied for the NCLEX through ncsbn, designated your state, paid all the fees, etc. But scheduling it is...

  19. PASSING THE CPNE: tips from my experience

    anticoagulationurse replied to anticoagulationurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    anticoagulationurse replied to nurse1717's topic in Online Distance Learning

  23. CPNE Rationales info sources?

    anticoagulationurse replied to nurse1717's topic in Online Distance Learning

    anticoagulationurse replied to llawson's topic in General Nursing
