Hope my thread title makes sense, but I recently met a gentlement who completed Excelsior 2 years ago. He recently graduated from Howard University in DC with his BSN and applied for licensure in Maryland. Maryland denied him off the basis of that ...

Excelsior is a money hungry school and I'm sick of wasting my money here. i will not retake and will enroll in a respected nursing program.

I just failed 496 by 7 questions. I freaking hate this FCCA, I hate Excelsior and I regret enrolling in Excelsior aka a money drain.

Yeah they do. It seems like they will hire anyone that walks in off the street.

couldnt agree more, and I currently work there. There is a HIGH nurse turnover rate. New grad nurses stay for about a year and they leave. i hate this ghetto hospital so much.

NursePamelaS can you check your pm? I have a question i am dying to know the answer to. Thnks :)

I have the Taylors too, but are there more apps besides the Q&A one?

Preceptorship where? I mean I plan on working at mostly federal hospitals but I would love to put Johns Hopkins on my resume at some point in time.

This sucks but oh well that doesnt stop me from working in any federal hospital in Maryland. Lunah how long were you in the Army? Did you do a direct accession into the Nurse Corps after your BSN?

Hey guys I need your opinions for an issue I am having with Howard University Hospital nursing recruiters. I interviewed for a position in the ER about 3 wks ago. The interview went great and I knew I had the position however the problem is with the ...

thank you!!! your post is exactly what i was looking for. thanks for that. i start work there on aug 3, also i used to be stationed and nnmc bethesda.

Im sorry but this isnt intended to be rude or anything but can you just start your own topic about finding out the salary there or even call or go to the hospital itself. I started this topic because I wanted to know different people opinions on thi...

Hey your test sounds just like mine. I took my NCLEX on Monday and it shut off at 85 questions. I didnt have any med calculation questions, a few SATA, some pharm, but mostly priority questions. I found out yesterday I passed and felt as if I miss...

I got approved for LPN in West Virginia, although I am not going to practice there, I am eligible to work at any military hospital in any state or overseas. I was a corpsman with 8 years experience. Thats crazy about NY only accepting Army and Air F...

It was so much easier applying for licensure in West Virginia than California. I didnt have to do the fingerprinting in WV like they require in CA. The whole process only took a few days for them to certify my eligibility to take the NCLEX at a pea...

In NC Im starting at $14 for hospital and but I forgot how much the differential will be cause I work nights. 7yrs military experience.

Wow in NC after we finished testing one of the portions of the exam, our proctor faxed our tests right on over to someplace and we received our results within a couple minutes.

Thank You. So far everyone I have met here has been really nice, I hope it continues.

I start work on a NICU in Rex Hospital in Raleigh, NC on Monday. I was tod that it is a fun job and that I am going to love it. We will see although I can't wait to start.

Hey I live in Raleigh, but I tested in Charlotte at the Divine Health Academy. I was terrified, but in the end it was nothing. There was only three of us testing. The written portion was common sense questions. The skills portion was easy. The evalu...
