  1. NCLEX PN Nerves, Bad Result from Pearson Vue Trick :(

    ladside replied to SweetAmber's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    FYI: There are so many NCLEX study guides out there. When the new changes to the NCLEX went into effect on 04/01/2010, Kaplan's 2010-2011 edition of Strategies, Practices, and Review updated their...

    ladside replied to SweettartRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Amazing!! I, too, am waiting for my transcripts to be evaluated. I will be in the October 1st class IF they accept my A&P and Micro from Excelsior. Also, if they accept my first nursing course...

  6. Excelsior College and Georgia. How are the Precepted Clinicals Working?

    ladside replied to Pmdc's topic in Excelsior College

    So sorry to burst anyone's bubble but as of late, via NCLEX web board on Excelsior College, this woman received a letter a couple of days ago informing her that there are 459 LPNs waiting for RN...

  7. Excelsior College- almost seems too easy

    ladside replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That is correct. You have to have 21 of the 31 general education credits completed before being eligible for the FCCA and then the CPNE. For all of those interested, the information that I used to...

  8. Excelsior College- almost seems too easy

    ladside replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    ladside replied to Little_Mouse's topic in First Year After Licensure

  13. Warning to New Grads

    ladside replied to Little_Mouse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Honey, It's that way with old grads too! Only difference between SNF and Med/surg is the number of patients. When 'they' have enough staff, somebody gets cancelled so that you are still working with...

  14. took NCLEX today....so sick to my stomach

    ladside replied to caringtouch's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If I understand the 'trick' correctly, what you need to do is try to register to take the exam again. If it does not let you, that means that you've passed. I don't know how long you need to wait or...

    ladside replied to caringtouch's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  20. A & P at Gordon College

    ladside replied to stacykay11's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm going with Dr. L. I looked into this particular syllabus and it appears every attempt is made to help you pass the class; even allowing 1% credit for attitude and attendance. I'm not a biology...

  21. new student in Gorden college

    ladside replied to mian's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Be prepared to write essays in English 1101 and 1102. A&P is recommended widely by many before us that it be taken by itself unless you just reaaaalllllly love biology. I feel the same way about...
