    i really really like excelsior's program but i really really want my rn license to be accepted everywhere if i decide to move. ** redheadmommy05- you are aware that with excelsior this is not...

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

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    This is very odd...I too called Excelsior and GNA and was told that there were NO CHANGES as of yesterday; GaBON HAS NOT changed its position and we will not know anything further until the November...

  3. georgia question

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to Suzanneyoulike's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am not exactly certain of the total number of hours that Georgia requires for clinicals; I am sure if you want this information you can locate it on the state BON site. However for endorsement I...

  4. CNN: GA nurse unable to find job, working at Red Lobster

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to renee_cal's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Nope don't know her, however I checked on the BON website for her name as a licensed RN or LPN and she is not listed for GA. CNN could have done the

  5. CNN: GA nurse unable to find job, working at Red Lobster

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to renee_cal's topic in Georgia Nursing

    First of all she is not a RN or LPN...she is not being truthful and forthcoming. She is claiming that she had to sell furniture, clothes, memontos to pay rent? Oh come on, give me a break. I am...

  6. Do you think this would help Excelsior??

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to redheadmommy05's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The problem with this is that supervised/precepted clinical experiences is that those experiences are noncompensated for students. The state BON's will tell you that a student who wishes to receive...

  7. Anyone know if the PA BON will join the uprising?

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to redheadmommy05's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Just keep in mind that Excelsior is NOT ONLY for LPN's. We are all medical professionals who are able to complete the program and obtain licensure as RN's. Yes I agree that LPN's are well respected,...

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

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I understand your position, however please keep in mind that NOT EVERYONE who completes the ADN/RN program (prelicensure) at Excelsior is NOT an LPN. Therefore this solution would only be applicable...

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

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Recruiters have told me that new grads are expected to be present at least 5 days/wk for class and clinical training within the first 8-12 weeks. Then I can chose a 12 hr shift of 7a-7p or 7p-7a with...

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

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Thanks but for me it is almost hopeless here in Georgia. I had already accepted my job as an ICU nurse long ago and have worked on the unit being precepted in a special program for new graduates....

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Does anyone know if the meeting this Friday with GaBON,GNA, Ec is open to the public? I haven't heard anything specificially regarding details. I honestly don't think we will prevail in this legal...

  12. Loan buyback/ starting pay

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to snickersBRaccel's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Touro pays back $300/month and East Jeff pays $400/month on student loans. No contracts involved. I would also check hospitals in BR for the same type

  13. Disaster pay

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to ThrowEdNurse's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Ok I am confused. I was informed by a friend who works at University that the staff was paid for 24/7 for each day they were obligated to be on site for Gustav (which was 8 days). They stayed at the...

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

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Obviously the person who quoted my post didn't attend the standing room only meeting or is not here in Ga. After this statement was made by a GABON rep, it was requested from D. Hatmaker to provide...

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

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    According to GABON issues with EC have come up 11 times within the past years. I am not certain of what those issues were and the outcome. However it is obvious that EC grads were still allowed to...

  16. Excelsior Grads - Do You Think Online Nursing Is In Jeopardy? What State Are You In?

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to beginning's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am fully cognizant that the most reliable information will come from each states board of nursing. So after consulting with EC I did call the CBON and verify this information. Like I said, I know 2...

  17. Excelsior Grads - Do You Think Online Nursing Is In Jeopardy? What State Are You In?

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to beginning's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This statement is NOT true. In fact, grads of EC who have 50% or more supervised clinical/lab/community experience in a traditional RN program with 1-2 years experience as an RN can apply for...

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    My purpose for posting is not to engage in public or private dispute with any EC student, legal representatives, GABON, GNA or EC for that matter. I have expressed my views, opinions and facts as they...

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I have read the many post on various forums in regards to this critical topic, and yes, I too am an EC student affected by this legislation. Too many people are placing the blame solely on the GABON...

  20. Any 50% Nursing progam candidates in NY for EC?

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to mom2sam's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I understand how you feel. I went through all of the stages of grief. I realized that I was not the first person who that had happened to and I would not be the last (unfortuantely). My last clinical...

  21. Any 50% Nursing progam candidates in NY for EC?

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to mom2sam's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, I was in the same situation as you (except with me it was less than 1 point and my last semester). I am taking my last nursing concepts exam next week, and then I will be CPNE eligible. I started...

    strengthcouragewisdm replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I too just found out on today that I got a EC presdential scholarship that covers 3 exams (NC3-5, a $705 value). Now the only real financial burden I have is paying for the CPNE. I feel so relieved...
