  1. Rue vs.college network

    Spazzy Nurse replied to sannp2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You do not have to buy all of the books that EC recommends. In fact, I only bought one (a Potter and Perry Fundamentals book used on half.com). I mostly used this one for CPNE preparation. The rest I...

  2. NICU's/NNP schools in the twin cities

    Spazzy Nurse replied to LauRNicu's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard good things about Children's (both Mpls. through Abbott Northwestern Hospital and St. Paul through United Hospital). We had very good experiences there with our son when he was a baby...

  3. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    Spazzy Nurse replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Heyyoooo, EC grad here. Just make sure it's an actual EC rep and not a rep from a 3rd party who wants to sell you study systems. A lot of times they act like they are from EC itself. Exactly what...

  4. Former Minnesotan now in Tucson, AZ!

    Spazzy Nurse replied to iliket3's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like your hospital is a bit more employee friendly than most (is not all) of ours around here. I'm glad it was a good move for you. Thanks for posting---- it's interesting to hear how things...

  5. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    Spazzy Nurse replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have to disagree with you on that one. I had my EMT-B before having my LPN and there was a WORLD of difference. I don't think the knowledge base is comparable by any means. There are incompetent RNs...

  6. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    Spazzy Nurse replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Very well

  7. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    Spazzy Nurse replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    :rotfl: Sorry to go off topic but this cracked me up. I think a lot of us get pain in the a$$ patients....... I had one who pretended not to speak English and squeezed her eyes shut while I was...

  8. signing up with Rue

    Spazzy Nurse replied to lbennett_71's topic in Online Distance Learning

    OMG I am so glad that you found us and that you didn't sign with RUE!!! I made that horrible mistake and I will spend the rest of my days pleading with people not to make that same mistake. I could go...

  9. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    Spazzy Nurse replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm curious as to where these hospitals are too. I started the EC program with 1 1/2 years of LPN experience under my belt. Granted it was in a neuro clinic, but that experience really helped. I also...

  10. Which Distance learning program to go with for LPN to RN

    Spazzy Nurse replied to wannabeeRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    For the love of God do not go through a 3rd party. They are more expensive (despite what they may try and tell you on the phone) and some of them have the crappiest "study materials" that you could...

  11. I got a date!!!!

    Spazzy Nurse replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! You have a date!! How exciting is that!!! Now the fun begins,

  12. EC grads...need your input to finalize my decision to enroll

    Spazzy Nurse replied to copnlpn2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    One more thing......... regarding the "several" states that don't accept EC graduates.... there aren't several. California doesn't and Illinois and Kansas have some weird rules too, but as far as I...

  13. EC grads...need your input to finalize my decision to enroll

    Spazzy Nurse replied to copnlpn2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi Cindy-- First off let me say, good for you! Even though you're no stranger to school, it's a big move. I graduated from EC 2 1/2 years ago and I can't say enough good about the program. Not only...

  14. It's over I am now an RN!!!

    Spazzy Nurse replied to GN1974's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congratulations, Karen RN!!! Do you feel 20 lbs lighter

  15. is RUE a mistake?

    Spazzy Nurse replied to deegale's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can either download them online or EC can mail them to

  16. Needing information about CLEP

    Spazzy Nurse replied to new_mom26's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think you're smart for looking into CLEPs and DANTES. They save a lot of time and money. I wish you the very best of luck!!!

  17. Finally!

    Spazzy Nurse replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You're on your way, girlie!! GO LAURIE

  18. NC-1 Questions on test

    Spazzy Nurse replied to Innurse78's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well I have an opinion about RUE :angryfire and if you want to hear all about it, PM me. I've already posted my feelings towards them a million times on this board and other boards so won't waste...

  19. Rue vs.college network

    Spazzy Nurse replied to sannp2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi back, Barb! :cheers: And I agree with Barb..... if you want to get study guides from a 3rd party, head over to Ebay or other EC message boards and get one there. If you sign with a 3rd party you...

  20. Needing information about CLEP

    Spazzy Nurse replied to new_mom26's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You do need to take the CLEPs and DANTES at college campuses. There is a listing of which colleges give which exams on the websites. I second everyone's opinion on checking with your school to see...

  21. Rue vs.college network

    Spazzy Nurse replied to sannp2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I second everything Laurie said, except I went to the EC CPNE workshop before my CPNE and highly recommend it to anyone who can scrape up the funds to go. I have heard good things about the...

  22. money back from RUE?

    Spazzy Nurse replied to javanurse2000's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No, you certainly aren't the first or last. I was duped long before you were. Ohhh the stories I could tell you about RUE. To be perfectly honest, I don't think there is any way that you can get out...

  23. About to start excelsior! ????'s

    Spazzy Nurse replied to njmicp1985's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Be careful when taking any gen eds that you think you need because a 3rd party (Chancellor's, RUE, College Network, etc) told you that you need it. They may be right, but the final decision is up to...
