  1. EC BSN Program

    Cobweb replied to BeachieRN84's topic in Excelsior College

    I just signed up today, in fact, and one good thing I can tell you is that there is no more video component, as of the first week of January! The BSN and MSN programs are eligible for financial aid...

  2. Why do nurses chart in 3rd person?

    Cobweb posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've always found charting pretty artificial, anyway, but I've always wondered why we chart in 3rd person? Why don't we say "I found" or "I did..."? Anybody

  3. Weird little things you do as a nurse

    Cobweb replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in General Nursing

    I collected some junk computer parts to make a computer for a rheumatoid arthritis patient who could just about only move 2 fingers on each hand. I got it so he could talk on Skype to his family in...

  4. Sheri Taylor's CPNE online workshop

    Cobweb replied to joy1's topic in Excelsior College

    I, too, was not able to attend a live workshop, and found Sheri's online workshop to be invaluable. The videos were really great, and I watched them over and over again. It was Sheri's careplan...

  5. Hipaa violation?

    Cobweb posted a topic in General Nursing

    My DON told me to email her about work situations and patients (I work 11-7 shift and rarely see her). Another coworker told me that emailing her is a Hipaa violation. Anybody know if that's true or...

  6. how long should you wait before returning to school?

    Cobweb replied to sophie<3's topic in General Nursing

    I was gonna wait a year, then life (and kids) happened, and I waited 20 years. Don't

  7. now disabled...but can still do job..advice wellcome

    Cobweb replied to carol-j's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I work in an electric wheelchair on a rehab unit. My patients love that I work in a wheelchair! I guess it makes them feel that they can have a life after all :) I can walk about the room enough to...

  8. New to site, Newly Diagnosed with BP I, and supposed to start Nursing School???

    Cobweb replied to joannlmt83's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'd like to second the PT/OT idea. If you think you'd really like something like nursing, these fields are pretty good; in fact, I wish I had known about them long ago in the Dark Ages when I first...

  9. My Nursing Career In Six Words

    Cobweb replied to No Stars In My Eyes's topic in Nursing Humor

    Born a doormat, now I'm Ripley!

  10. Hipaa violation?

    Cobweb replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

    These are all great replies; thank you so much. I doubt there's any chance that I would get a work email. This place is a little different than most facilities. I was using email to show that I...

  11. Nursing Students with Special Needs

    Cobweb replied to vbwise2's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am not a teacher, but thought my experience as a handicapped student might be helpful. I work in a skilled nursing facility on the rehab unit. I work from an electric wheelchair but can walk a...

  12. Movies and TV about CNAs

    Cobweb replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

    Lol...well, the way Hollywood portrays nurses was actually sort of the point of my pictures. I had everything from Nurse Ratched, to Julia, to Hot Lips Houlihan, to Daryl Hannah in Kill Bill. I got...

  13. Movies and TV about CNAs

    Cobweb posted a topic in General Nursing

    For Nurses' Week, I made a little collage of nurses' pictures from movies and TV and put them on the wall. I'd like to do the same for CNA week, and I know there are movies and TV shows with nursing...

  14. Take-your-time RN-BSN program

    Cobweb posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm a handicapped RN, and one thing I really liked about the Excelsior LPN-RN program was the ability to go at my own pace. I'm looking for RN-BSN programs that will allow you to do that, also, with...

  15. Night Shift For Newbies

    Cobweb replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Working nights, I got very little sun exposure, and was surprised to find out that my Vitamin D level was in the sub-basement, despite the fact that I take Viactiv. You might like to talk to your...

  16. LaCharity percent--think I could pass?

    Cobweb posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have a shot at a good job if I can get my NCLEX test passed pretty quick. I started with studying LaCharity and am averaging about 96% on it. I'm an Excelsior student with all A grades. What do...

  17. someone tell me it gets better after RN school???

    Cobweb replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to break this to you, but LTC is by far not the grossest place you can work, and plastic surgery can be absolutely horrifying, at times. You are gonna need to develop a pretty strong stomach...

  18. CPNE mnemonics

    Cobweb posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was hoping you all wouldn't mind running over my mnemonics and seeing if I missed anything "critical", heh. I'm going blind after over-studying! The beginnings of these were passed on to me by...

  19. CPNE mnemonics

    Cobweb replied to Cobweb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks, all :) I think I'm having some post traumatic stress syndrome, lol, it really hasn't sunk in

  20. CPNE mnemonics

    Cobweb replied to Cobweb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did alter this one--safety, SCABBS--Siderails x whatever, Call bell and phone, Anything else you need? Bed low, Brakes on, Slippers or shoes....

  21. CPNE mnemonics

    Cobweb replied to Cobweb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just passed the CPNE, but thank you

  22. meds late from pharmacy

    Cobweb replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In our facility we give it when it arrives and then change the time written down to give it at the same time tomorrow, so 6 pm every day, in that

  23. What to do with severe physical limitations?

    Cobweb replied to Doxies's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I have lupus and work in an electric wheelchair, night shift in a rehab/LTC facility. It's a very upscale place, so the physical work is pretty light, with quite a bit of paperwork. I mention the...

  24. Smart Nurse vs. Dumb Pharmacy, Round One. DING! | Life of a Nurse

    Cobweb replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Great post! I get so aggravated sometimes. I try to remember, though, it's not the pill pushers, it's their corporate overlords that make everybody's life so hard. I never really understood until I...

  25. Your dumbest financial mistakes

    Cobweb replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    Got sick, was told I had a year to live (and I thought it was a pretty good diagnosis), racked up a lot of medical bills, but, since I was dying, I just put everything on my credit cards. Why not? If...
