  2. The College Network

    tater.jake replied to Jartu's topic in Washington Nursing

    I will back the statement that TCN is a rip off. They are not a college, they are an unnecessary middle man between you and Excelsior college. I bought some used TCN "books" which entailed text-only...

  3. Where do I find refresher courses?

    tater.jake replied to fasteddie2748's topic in Washington Nursing

    Well if you just want to get some knowledge and lingo going, check out Dr. Gerald Cizadlo's podcasts from the itunes store. They are free downloads and the info is great. I load them on my ipod and...

    tater.jake posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

  7. Warning - excelsior students

    tater.jake replied to robertjankowski's topic in Online Distance Learning

    this robert guy and his malicious, insulting posts ought to be booted from the site. "Essentially a worthless degree?" I don't think other hard working nursing students would stand for that kind of...

  8. Warning - excelsior students

    tater.jake replied to robertjankowski's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't think Robert is listening anymore, but it's mighty rude of him to come here and flame our school in an attempt to get even. His girlfriend neglected to get the details, and that's her fault....

  12. Ran out of steam on NC5

    tater.jake replied to tater.jake's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think that if I have any strength, it is with the A&P of endocrinology (I owe much of my knowledge to Dr. Cizadlo or "Doc C". He has free podcasts in the itunes store on a bunch of different...

  14. Ran out of steam on NC5

    tater.jake replied to tater.jake's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It was scheduled for this Friday but I moved it to Friday the 13th (dun dun dunnn) because I will have several days off from work right before then to study. The funny thing is that I have worked...

  16. ISU Fast-track program?

    tater.jake replied to Angie_Baby's topic in General Nursing

    tater.jake replied to fostchri's topic in General Nursing

    I got my ACLS as an LPN. It doesn't seem like I could use it however, as I am not licensed to push drugs. But I think it looks good on a resume. The hospital I work for paid for

  19. I asked my doctor to get me a licensed person to give me an injection

    tater.jake replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    tater.jake posted a topic in General Nursing

    I checked my mail after class today, and got an offer for a credit card that was "specially for LPNs." The pitch was that since I am an "unsung hero" I can take advantage of a special interest rate....
