  1. PASSED CPNE

    So proud of you!!!! Yay!!! Get a good nap now you deserve
  2. I'll be graduating from Excelsior with my ADN on May 20, 2011. I have nothing but good things to say about this program. I've had great support from my Advisors since day one. The CPNE is seriously...
  3. Cpne- 2mos plus 5-8month wait??

    If you can leave your Mom and baby at home, try to do that. I cannot express to you how stressful this weekend is. The first night you will need total quiet to concentrate on your first care plan...
  4. Per my EC- "cpne study guide sent"-??

    I put down the date I would be ready and thats the exact date that I got. Where are you testing? I tested in York, PA. because I live only 40 minutes away. I don't know what the wait times are in...
  5. Per my EC- "cpne study guide sent"-??

    They send you a cd that is exactly the same as the one you can download online. I printed mine at work to save
  6. Per my EC- "cpne study guide sent"-??

    I did Sheri Taylor's workshop in Atlanta and then continued with her online workshop. If I had to do it all over again I would have just done the online workshop because it is THAT good. Her...
  7. Per my EC- "cpne study guide sent"-??

    I would register for the cpne now so you can upload all your documents and have it all done and ready. It only takes a day to do the FCCA so just register for the cpne and start studying now. I know...
  8. Cpne- 2mos plus 5-8month wait??

    You're like me....that's exactly what I did....I'm a total procrastinator but it works for
  9. FCCA info...

    I seriously email my advisor at least once a week with questions. I love Excelsior's advisors, they are so helpful and they answer emails within 24 hours. I think Excelsior has a great advising...
  10. Cpne- 2mos plus 5-8month wait??

    I would take Sheri's online workshop and give yourself two months of studying and practicing. You really don't need two whole months, but it's better than cramming towards the end. I took Sheri's...
  11. why do teachers turn a blind eye to cheating??

    Okay, so if you're doing what YOU need to be doing in the class, WHY would you worry more about what other people are doing AND DROP OUT???? That makes no sense to me. You are too upset to study for...
  12. Help with A/P II

    Check out Straighterline's A&P II, you can take it with our without lab. I took it without lab in 4 days. If you sign up for the monthly plan it'll only cost you
  13. For the love of God- is this even right?!

    My best friend goes to Penn State's BSN program and her nursing informatics course was just as easy as yours. Nursing informatics is not rocket science no matter what school you take it at. I would...
  14. Excelsior A & P Exam

    I've been an LPN on a cardiac floor for 15 years and I too have a good foundation in A&P, but this exam was not one I wanted to tackle. I already had A&P I from my CC, so I only needed...
  15. Cpne- 2mos plus 5-8month wait??

    You will test when you want, BELIEVE me! I got the exact date I used as my "ready to test" date. I probably would have gotten an earlier one if I would have put myself on the cancellation
  16. OMG....finally. I've been checking Excelsior's website at least 10 times a day, waiting for my graduation status to change from "pursuing degree" to graduation date of 5/20/2011 and today it finally...
  17. Sharing Prescription Drugs

    Thank you....I didn't respond because I thought I would seem like Nurse Jackie or something since I didn't think it was any big
  18. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

    OMG....LOLOLOLOLOL....you just made my
  19. Definitely made mistake, now paying for it...

    I can totally relate to your situation. Night shift can be a killer and I did it for 6 years. The final straw for me was when I opened my wallet and pulled out my debit card and swiped it instead of...
  20. Life is kind of like that don't you think? I had to wait 15 years to go back to school, but I paid for it myself. My family had to live on less so I could use any extra money for school. No one...
  21. I don't get your meaning. It would be the same as failing nursing school. Tons of student nurses don't make it through to the end and many shouldn't because they aren't cut out for it. I think when...
  22. I honestly think Excelsior is cheap. I did my entire ASN with no student loans, how many people can say that? I just paid for my classes and tests as I took them and It only took me a year to do it....
  23. Finally got my graduation date from Excelsior!

    I officially enrolled in the program May 12th of 2010 and took my CPNE March 25 2011. I would have been done much sooner but I needed to do lot's of gen eds at my community college because I went to...
  24. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

    Again, why would another nurse come to you instead of going to THAT nurse??? OMG....this is why I can't stand working with mostly women AND I AM A WOMAN!! This is gossip! You don't go to another...
  25. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

    I agree that "you just never know", BUT unless I'm missing something, this nurse had just completed a 12 hour shift and could just be having an off day. I'm sorry to say it so plainly, but in my...
