  1. CPNE Packing List

    Cobweb replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    There's actually a list in your guide, but added to that-- I'm staying in a hotel with a kitchen, an ironing board, and an iron. If you don't have those amenities, you might want your iron. I'm...

  2. Soooo... Are you at a disadvantage at NS? I think I am.

    Cobweb replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    There are a lot of people looking for work now. You might actually be able to hire a ride for every day that you need one for a reasonable

  3. Soooo... Are you at a disadvantage at NS? I think I am.

    Cobweb replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    I worked 2 full time jobs (Monday through Friday as a CNA, two 24-hour shifts as an HHA on the weekends) and rode a bike during nursing school. Just wanted to let you know that it is doable! And I...

  4. Excelsior Pass Rates!!!

    Cobweb replied to j1l4d's topic in Excelsior College

    I failed my first CPNE and I can tell you that it was totally my own fault. I didn't fail one nursing thing--I failed because I let my nerves rattle me and make me act stupid. (As in identifying the...

  5. What is the best nursing advice you ever got from another nurse?

    Cobweb replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Nursing

    My godmother told me, "Work as a CNA for a year before you go to nursing school." That was great advice. My mom told me, "When the smokers go out to take their breaks, so do you... or else you'll...

  6. Blindfolding: Is this an intervention or abuse?

    Cobweb replied to dicecream's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What about using the bathroom light instead of the overhead light, or some other way of using a dim light instead of a bright light? I've even bathed and dressed people by the light of the television...

  7. Trying to understand difference between LPN and RN practice....

    Cobweb replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    So, more education = more money... I have more education than Bill Gates! I need a *BIG*

  8. Living like a vampire....

    Cobweb replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    If I go to bed before 11 am, I am up at 1pm just like an alarm clock went off, and that's all the sleep I get that day :) So I try to stay up until at least noon, preferably 1pm, and then I will...

  9. Disabled travel modes

    Cobweb posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm posting in hope of some advice from my fellow gimpo nurses and also nurses who work with the disabled. I don't walk very well, but I can get around OK for short distances. I use an electric...

  10. Disabled travel modes

    Cobweb replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

    I have a travel wheelchair, rollator, and walker, hehe, since I have good days and bad days, so I can choose the mode of transportation that suits my level of activity for that day. My personal...

  11. Excelsior--- What states work with program?

    Cobweb replied to vanagonnurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thought I'd mention--as it isn't mentioned on the website--that Florida now allows Excelsior grads to sit for the NCLEX on a case-by-case basis, after being reviewed by the BON, instead of just...

  12. The single best piece of advice you've gotten/gave

    Cobweb replied to HumorHeals22's topic in General Students

    The very best piece of advice I got was to be a CNA for a while before going to nursing school. Not only did it give me critical basic skills, but it taught me how hard some of my team members have...

  13. How Do You Promote Yourself as an Almost-Grad?

    Cobweb replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Dunno if this will help, but maybe... I always bypass Human Resources if there's a job I'm really interested in. They may have guidelines they have to follow, but often (not always) know little about...

  14. CPNE--switch or stay?

    Cobweb posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    So, I recently flunked my CPNE in Savannah for all the dumbass reasons that people usually fail, hehe:cry: The thing that's niggling me right now is--so did everybody else. And a guy who was there...

  15. CPNE--switch or stay?

    Cobweb replied to Cobweb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks, everybody, for the good words. I believe I'll take your advice! I'd love to go to New York, since I've never been there, but hauling my gear around when flying is pretty much a PITA. I'm...

  16. Hospitals and Hotels for the CPNE

    Cobweb posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would like to stay in a hotel close enough to the CPNE site to drive my electric wheelchair there, and I was hoping some of you CPNE vets could help me pick out some sites where the hospitals and...

  17. Ec dvd/audio/workbook

    Cobweb replied to LPNWISH2BRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I loathe their forum style and despise the lack of search, but the people on the EPN are really great

  18. Marian University for St.Vincent Health

    Cobweb replied to indylaurastockton's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you search for "Marian" there are several posts relating to that school

  19. EC BSN

    Cobweb posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Does the EC BSN have any components that are not online? It seems that it used to, but in the catalog now it says all the classes are online. I thought the HAPE and such were done in

  20. CPNE Study Help

    Cobweb replied to KBPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Rob's videos are at robscpne.com and the flashcards are on the Excelsior site...

  21. EC BSN

    Cobweb replied to Cobweb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The HAPE is like the CPNE for the BSN program. I just found a thread right here that says they discontinued it. https://allnurses.com/distance-learning-nursing/excelsior-bsn-students-188713.html I...

  22. Online CPR certification?

    Cobweb replied to southgal's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the programs I am familiar with require you to take a skills test with a certified instructor, but you can do the rest online. Here's a nice one from the American Heart Association...

  23. CPNE Study Help

    Cobweb replied to KBPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Pretty much the only study material you need is the study guide, and they will give that to you free on a CD, or you can print it out or read it online. I did order the flash cards for $14, but Rob's...

    Cobweb replied to Lisa1980's topic in Online Distance Learning

    What about the next farthest site? (Dothan, right?) Can you take a day off? Can you find a babysitter close to you? Is there a reliable day care site close to you that your child could visit for...
