  1. Your ER policy on giving rides home

    oeue2007 replied to psu_213's topic in Emergency

    Haha - I signed on to rant about the opposite problem ("I need help getting someone out of the car!") and started reading. I can never decide if it makes me feel better or worse that all ER's have...

  2. CPNE Mistakes - I would love to learn from yours

    oeue2007 replied to pebbles57's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did the exact same thing during my first CPNE. Have to really go through that PCS recording form before you hand it over. I had something in almost every blank second time (lots of n/a's :)

  3. CPNE Mistakes - I would love to learn from yours

    oeue2007 replied to pebbles57's topic in Online Distance Learning

    ID ID ID ID ID. Sounds ridiculous while you're comfy at home but when your nerves are rockin' and the patient's got a tray and relatives and an attitude your instinct is to walk over and do something...

  4. CPNE Questions

    oeue2007 replied to MrRacer98's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I flunked the CPNE in Savannah in May and I'm going back next month for my second try. The hospital is pretty easy to get to from the recommended hotels. Easy to maneuver around once you're there....

  5. Anyone else sent home on first PCS day?

    oeue2007 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    OK, so much for my good attitude. At my CPNE there were 6 students, 4 adult examiners and 2 peds examiners. They made assignments with their weird little grid so 2 of us had 2 adults day one and the...

  6. Anyone else sent home on first PCS day?

    oeue2007 replied to oeue2007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    So much for my break :chuckle I (always) love your comments Lunah, love your heart and passion and know that you are a great nurse. I feel like I'm the same kind of nurse. I totally respect your...

  7. Flunked the CPNE - some thoughts

    oeue2007 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Just flunked my first attempt at CPNE. Passed all labs on the first try then flunked two adult PCS's in a row! Thought I'd share some random thoughts since Excelsior likes to keep this mysterious....

  8. Anyone else sent home on first PCS day?

    oeue2007 replied to oeue2007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm going to take a break from all of this for a few days. I'm tired! Excelsior has just been one stress bomb after another between the CPNE and the GA BON.....I'm just going to go be me for awhile...

  9. Anyone else sent home on first PCS day?

    oeue2007 replied to oeue2007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I guess my POV is NOBODY should be in that position. We're all there for the same test. We've definitely all paid the same fee. We should all be given the same opportunities and be testing under...

  10. Anyone else sent home on first PCS day?

    oeue2007 replied to oeue2007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Tee hee, so funny and so true. I just can't believe that they've been getting away with treating students differently all this time without a fight. That's why I'm appealing to the allnurses crowd...

  11. Flunked the CPNE - some thoughts

    oeue2007 replied to oeue2007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    eyerishone-Don't stress the CPNE yet, focus on your courses. With the wait times, you'll have plenty of prep time for the CPNE. When you're to that point, the first thing you have to do is read the...

  12. Flunked the CPNE - some thoughts

    oeue2007 replied to oeue2007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks all for the encouragement. COP, I did do a grid. In this hospital there was no "neutral" surface to put your paperwork on and it was in, out, in, out of my pocket. This is part of what I'm...

  13. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I think I just heard a giant sigh of relief echoing across GA!

  14. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Somebody on the BON was in collusion w/ Rep. Cooper and I would have to guess somebody with the University System as well because they are the only ones who would "benefit" from getting rid of EC in...

  15. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    This was done in such an underhanded, almost vindictive way...I really hope when it all shakes out that the primary perpetrators find themselves unemployed. Someone had an agenda. This was presented...

  16. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Excelsior suggests that we thank Gov. Perdue. http://gov.georgia.gov/00/gov/contact_us/0,2657,78006749_94820188,00.html I just had to mention in mine that foreign nurses (who haven't been spending...

  17. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I'm also up for supervisor "if this works out". Again, we EC students are all obviously a bunch of undereducated, poorly performing slackers compared to GA University System GRAD-U-ATES. Right....

  18. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    The BON sought no legal counsel in making their decision???? Excuse me, but wart the fog??? It's like they're so power-drunk they don't even take this seriously. Of course, also convinces me even more...

  19. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I think that the BON is wide open for a lawsuit and that even though they would like to ride their high horse and make no compromises, they'd better keep their minds open. The law change is so...

  20. What type of nursing job do you think is the best to start out with?

    oeue2007 replied to TrinaCNA's topic in General Nursing

    It sucks but I do think every nurse should start w/ at least six months med/surg too. It just "congeals" everything from school and will help you in any area that you go to. My analogy (being from...

  21. Normal PT/INR w/DIC??

    oeue2007 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is it possible for a pt w/ DIC to have a normal PT/INR? Pt was elderly, recent vascular surgery, died 10 minutes after he got to the floor of "upper GI bleed" per MD. He looked like coumadin...

  22. CPNE-Savannah

    oeue2007 replied to fmhlpn187's topic in Online Distance Learning

    How long did you have to wait for a date?

  23. Any nurses you dread giving report to?

    oeue2007 replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    We have one of these and I was a new nurse about a month into the job before I drew that nasty card. I was just getting a little bit comfortable with things including the "hit the high points" report...

  24. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I had to work so couldn't go but watched the Fox5 and WMAZ Macon reports. Media is certainly slanted to our side which is always a good thing. I plan to send links to news reports and another letter...

  25. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    If it ain't documented, it ain't done - every nurse lives by that. They'd better have specific incidents, dates, times, how it was DIRECTLY related to Excelsior education AND corresponding...
