I see a couple of issues here that Representative Sharon Cooper has brought up in her law to harm Excelsior College and their nurses. If she says this is a "Patient safety issue" how can she then grandfather those who are currently enrolled? They...

Sharon Cooper has a MSN from Medical College of Georgia, but I can't find out what year she graduated nursing school. She appears to be in her mid to late 50's. The GABON says nursing grads should have a min. of 400 hours of clinical experience. If ...

Why should we do more clinical hours? Nursing students that complete a nursing program in Georgia is 400 hrs. I have more clinical hours than that by a long shot. I am not willing to do more clinical hours, but I will put my clinical experiences and ...

I think she is up for reelection this November. I saw a site with her pic and bio, also the recent runoff with her numbers. I'll try to find the link, and who she will be running against. Ronnie

So we will not forget!

I'm really glad Representative Cooper is in Marietta. The nurse managers at Kennestone Hospital are very upset about this new law. I know many that live in her district will be voting when she runs again. I think what it boils down to is, Ms. Cooper...

One of the purposes of the EC school of nursing requirements for students is having clinical experience. Albeit not all the extraneous stuff taught in nursing schools, but making me better prepared to be a nurse. When I become a nurse, I can start IV...

One other note..you can't copy and past the promo code. I tried that on a previous attempt, then again today. I continued to get "Promo code is invalid." So I decided to just type the code as above, and presto...credit and I am now registered.. Thank...

I really like the state BON stating how they are not unsympathetic towards our plight, but they are the ones that initiated the law! Hummm..let me see, let's create a law that cuts nursing students our of their desire to work in Georgia, then say we ...

I would suggest we find out how the BON members get their jobs; appointment, election from Ga. nurses..how? Then we start an effort to stop them from remaining in the positions for another term. After the news broke about the recent legislation, I co...

I tried to register for test today and the code above is 'invalid'. The site at Uexcel says they will give free test until they have enough data...i guess they have enough.

Clinicals are the major point the GBON is stuck on...but all the EC grads I know work in the ER because of their former education as paramedics. We will start work with: PALS, ACLS, CPR, and already know how to start IV's and give IM injections..we h...

I can't believe GBON will allow nurses with no clinicals to continue to practice in Georgia...considering they didn't receive the PROPER clinical training in the first place...if by their standard EC grads don't meet clinical standards of Ga. what on...

I'm not sure about the rest of you guys, but the "Nursing Diagnosis" is what has confused me throughout my EC studies. Pounding into my head a nursing diagnosis is not a real diagnosis. It is not a true diagnosis, but is constantly called diagnosis.....

Hello all, Like Suzanne says, it is a nationwide test. However, each state has requirements that vary. Some are easier than others, but once you are a nurse in X state, getting a license in other states is easy. It's called "endorsement" from one sta...

:nono:Don't be hate-n!It is actually a trend across the nation that started several years ago. When the nurse admin (primarily female) attend their large meetings, it is discussed, and they convince themselves it is the best thing.

One problem with getting proctors is, EC requires a MS degree to become one. I have a friend that is a educator, has a BSN, but EC will not accept her. Is it lowering the standard to accept BSN educators as proctors? Not imho. To me another huge prob...

NO WAY

Just remember, once you pass the NCLEx, it doesn't matter if you had online classes or not. Almost all schools have online classes now. GB will catch up one day, like they have had to on other things.

Just curious which is better. If I take the English comp. it is 6 credit ours, and College writing is 3. I am assuming there is another 3 hr. credit class that must be taken, but when looking on the EC site, is just states English requirement is 3 c...

Thanks for the info. I had spoken to others, and they said they took the College Writing, but had to take another elective...didn't make sense to me if the english only requires 3 credit hours. I have not spoken to EC yet, but will this week. Ronnie

I believe once you are admitted, you are clear to follow the program to completion. Just remember, the nursing test are only good for 5 years.

Hey, I looked on my list and added the hours without using just memory....:) and saw it was under 10 hrs. Thanks

Hey Lunah, If I read your post correctly, you still have about 3 test to go? Just wondering because I see you have applied for the CPNE, and I was told you have to have 10 or less credits left before you are allowed to apply. Am I reading this wron...
