    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    ...and across the street from the GA BON is the Macon Coliseum which can seat 10,000 so don't know what their excuse will be for shutting people

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Thank you GradyRN2B and everyone who can make the trip tomorrow. Even if you're forced to stand outside, you are putting individual faces on this callous act of political bs and every member of the...

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I have to work too. Amazing that we incompetent, substandard nurses can even find our way to the hospital, isn't it?:) OK, gonna stop being bitter

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I was looking at the VA BON web site today to see if there was anything new for them. I noticed that their original "nastygram" stated that their decision would apply to EC students who haven't...

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Amen! And if nothing is resolved I'll be finishing up EC and packing up to move to a neighboring state. I am blessed to be able to do that and hurt for those who may be stuck losing their time and...

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

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    All goes to the point that I don't think any of us went out looking for a way to avoid going to a GA school. I tried three myself. I can understand their gunning for EC if they had a comparable...

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

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    This reminded me of an important point to be made in Sept. and in our letters to GBON and representatives. We all ended up at EC for a reason and that is because of the gap in GA nursing education....

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Sorry, didn't mean for that to sound so mercenary. What I mean is I don't think the GBON can be persuaded to completely reverse their decision although I think that's going to be EC's strategy (all...

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I agree with you, strengthcouragewisdom, that we must take a very high professional road in all of our dealings with GBON, EC and our legislators. I also think that attacking new traditional RN grads...

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

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I was about to post a draft of my letter that I plan to send to my state representatives but then read the post from the SPAC director discouraging us from contacting state reps at this time. Anyone...

  11. It's official -- RN!!!

    oeue2007 replied to Lunah's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congrats!!!!

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

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Posters on EC's EPN have brought up that this new law means that foreign educated nurses now have a much smoother path to licensure in GA than those of us who have gone to school, worked hard, been...

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I think (hope!) Ronnie22 was being facetious. (Or maybe he's a member of the GA BON :wink2:). But thank you MandaSue for expressing how I think most of us are feeling right now. How dare they...

  14. Can EC grads take TN boards?

    oeue2007 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Does anyone know if Excelsior grads can definitely take Tennessee boards? Georgia girl looking for Plan

  15. Can EC grads take TN boards?

    oeue2007 replied to oeue2007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    TBON doesn't list EC as approved school so I'm hoping someone has some recent real life experience with

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

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Probably would be better to send individually (even if we come up with a sample to do variations of). Big pile of mail on someone's desk will be much more of a squeaky wheel than one letter. Also...

    oeue2007 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    To me the wording of the bill is as clear as mud so as to allow the BON to include or exclude whomever they choose. I'm sure these changes were initiated by the BON and pushed through the legislature...

  18. Letter from EC about the Virginia BON's recent decision ...

    oeue2007 replied to Lunah's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Coming from a state (GA) that doesn't recognize EC, I absolutely feel that it is pure political "back scratching" between the STATE BON and the STATE university system. I don't think it has anything...

  19. FCCA - Anyone done them?

    oeue2007 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm down to my last exam under the new EC program and wondering if anyone has gone through the Focused Clinical Competencies yet? I didn't use a test prep service so I'm kind of in a groove with the...

  20. FCCA - Anyone done them?

    oeue2007 replied to oeue2007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wouldn't it be nice if they're taking so much time on the FCCAs so that they can lighten up on the CPNE? Wishful thinking, I'm

  22. Anyone ever worked 7 on/7 off shift?

    oeue2007 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi all- I'm a new LPN job hunting and interviewed for a 7 days on/ 7 days off position. I had never even heard of this schedule. Initially sounds good but was wondering if anyone has any real life...

  23. NOCS: How to darken a room?

    oeue2007 replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I got sheets of black foamcore board from Hobby Lobby (Michael's, most art supply stores) and cut them to fit inside the window. If you measure well it cuts out most all light. They're about 1/4"...
