Nurse-One

Has anyone graduated from the excelsior program from LPN to RN and now works in PA as a RN? I'm wondering if PA honors excelsior RN grads. I'm looking to pursue this soon

I read most of these comments. Unless you had martial issues before he began nursing school, I don't see the need for counseling--at least not yet. What you may already understand is that nursing school is extremely challenging. And almost all nursin...

Don't give up! I was in the same situation you were in, especially GPA wise. I got in where I could, as you can see getting accepted is a challenge because of the competitiveness. While on a wait list to get into a BSN program at my college, I was ab...

No you won't lose your license. Saftey first. From what you wrote there was offense that would cause you to lose your license.

I love being a christian nurse and as a overall individual myself.

THE HYPE IS O V E R- THERE IS NO NURSING SHORTAGE. Do your research as to where the future plans of hospitals/health care facilities are going before you go into massive debt for a nursing education. If debt is not a problem for you, then consider no...

hi everyone, has anyone gone through transfering your license from out of state to PA? (I'm going to transfer mine from florida to PA) OR any information regarding the process explaining in detail would help...what to expect: cost wait time other sp...

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of study for the nurse Procalc and the NLN entrance exam for PBCC fall nursing program. I read on line that this school works on a point system I was wondering if anyone who has been accepted to the program (past/Pres...

Hi everyone, I've been reading all the fourms on excelsior and I have a pretty good understanding of completing this program in a timely manor. I would like to finish the program before 2012 (if CPNE date is not months away after finishing all theo...

Thanks so much for the answers!! I have registered like suggested, But now im wondering, if I register to take the exam (health and saftey and transitions LPN to RN) does that mean i will be given a test date or do i pick the test date? I didn't cont...

Hi, Id like to ask how you did your studying. I purchased all the required books for the 1st exam Id like to take, the health and safety one. with so many books and chapters to go through how did you focus your study. Did you only have the practice...

I can't stand it when im giving report to nurses who whine about their job duties. the stress and some of the nonsense of the work environment comes with the territory. "Oh my gosh, another admission" "why do I have so many peg tubes" "Omg I have so...

I take it you're a perfectionist. This is a forum, not a nurse's note or research paper. True. But after a while, one year after graduation the most, you should know what to expect. Expect the unexpected. True. I agree, we shouldn't let our fru...

Okay I got some good laughs out of the "whinny" reply post. To correct myself it's "whiny" I did write a disclaimer at the the bottom of my original post that there are misspelled words. I must admit I didn't bother to try to correct, so sorry :) But...

Questions: i was lookingon the excelsior website for the practice exam for the Health and Saftey but did not notice it listed can anyone help me locate (with a link, if possible) to find the health and saftey practice exam?? I bought the recommended ...

Ounce I clock out of work I leave work behind. I don't want to think about the patients or coworkers, etc until its about an hour before my shift. I dont get why nurses would carry the stress and nonsense of the work environment out side the building...

Hi everyone, I've been doing my research on ISU. Ive been 100% sure that this is the school i want to get my bsn but the clinicals part is giving me second thoughts now. I've read many other old threads on ISU and a link to local clinical facilities...

Well, said Sir!!

Ha, ha that quote was directed to the person who replied calling me chicken little:down: Yeah, some people too this straight to the heart. I'm not being pessimistic; I'm simply stating what is going on and how I see MANY people jumping from a diffe...

They wrong for that! Yes! the supply is catching up with the demand. I mean really, not everyone has the finances to be moving to kentucky or Illinois (like some have mentioned is filled with new grad openings) Nor can I just take myself out my fa...

THANK YOU !!!!!!!! EXACTLY

Good follow-up advice for any field. But because this is a nursing related forum, I specifically targeted my thread to those in nursing. Stay away from as much loans as possible. (even if you think you'll be able to pay the monthly amount) I know i...

Hmm, I'm wondering with what degree you graduated with looking for work in the 1990 and how long did it take for you to find work. Either way, the economy is not what is was in 1990 even in that recession like it is now. Ok, lets say the economy do...

Important points, but my focus was not on whether one thinks of nursing as "just a job" or are passionate. I have a passion for nursing so I'll stick with it. Those in it for the money I'm not sure what they'd do. I hope the job hunt will be worth i...

Correct. I do have that in mind. But the majority of country is experiencing some kind of hardship finding or keeping their career.
