  1. : ) questions about excelsior college

    Conqueror+ replied to sarah505's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Don't bother with TCN. Use the EC study guides with the rec textbooks. (I purchased older editions online for $5 sometimes) and you will do fine. I have found the EC advisors very helpful and...

  3. The College Network - Legit or Scam?

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

  5. Agency Overpaid Me

    Conqueror+ replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    I got 2 identical checks in one envelope once. I returned one. You're doing the right thing. You don't want something like that coming back on you.

  6. What would you do?

    Conqueror+ replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

    Don't ever put "not a good fit". A new potential employer will most likely interpret that as "I was uncooperative/not a team

  7. Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    Conqueror+ replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    I don't believe in abortions so I don't work in an abortion clinic. If my job ever required me to I would flatly refuse and my boss would probably promptly fire me. They should fire me because that is...

  9. Debate help - Reasons nurses shouldn't report other nurses.

    Conqueror+ replied to leesepiece's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Fear of reprisal from the nurse reported. In this day and age that could mean anything from being cyberstalked to being shot in the parking lot. What if they file a civil suit against you for lost...

  10. Has anyone been sucessful testing without the optional EC practice exams?

    Conqueror+ replied to LoopsRN2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Conqueror+ replied to Serenyd's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Actually to a large degree you ARE your childs life when they are young. I don't understand how your lives can be totally seperate. Nor should they be. Children aren't some obstacle standing in the...

    Conqueror+ replied to SaraSmile3's topic in General Students

    You have ONE job in nursing school. TO FINISH. Anything else is just details that need to be handled or ignored. I believe this is a ignore. Just because she didn't approach you that night doesn't...

  21. Arriving early and not clocking in

    Conqueror+ replied to soxfan80's topic in General Nursing

    If you are taking your patient to the OR then you are. If the OR nurse has the patient (meaning you have reported OFF to them) then they are. If you leave for a break and don't have a clearly...

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

    I am also staying for my BSN. I looked at Chamberlain and 20k is just tooo much $$ for me. My EC degree will be less than 8k and then I am off to get my FNP which is another 25k so money is a big...

  24. If you failed the CPNE, how long did you wait to retake it?

    Conqueror+ replied to RNFinally12's topic in Excelsior College

    I don't think you should wait too long. If you failed for lack of skill or not knowing your critical elements I would say wait and study up. If it was for simple things that can be immediately...
