    Conqueror+ replied to Murse901's topic in Excelsior College

    Sweet !! I am on that cloud with you as I tested the same weekend in Wisconsin. Congrats on crushing the beast

  2. A couple of CPNE questions

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

    I tested this weekend past. The instructor places the hat in the toilet before you even arrive in the room. WRITE DOWN the amount of fluid in the patient's cup(s) when you start as you will NOT...

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

    Well if anyone does cheat their way through EC exams they are in for a rude awakening come CPNE time. You will not pass go if you don't know your stuff. And if you cheated your way through the tests,...

    Conqueror+ posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    What to take? I am looking for any and all ideas for what to bring on this journey to my RN. I will be packing soon and wanted input from those of you who have made the trek. I would also like to hear...

  6. workshops

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

    I am currently attending Sheri's online workshop and it is PRICELESS. I ordered some DVD's and a few things from excelsior but her workshop has been the best by far. Read the EC guide at least twice...

  7. Day Nurses Who Used to be Night Nurses

    Conqueror+ replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I made the M-F 8-5 switch about 18 months ago after 15 years on night shift. It can be done just understand that your body takes time to adjust. I am a night person so that made it a little harder. I...

  8. what's the length of time from ASN to BSN?

    Conqueror+ replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Tasha, I am also looking at Frontier. Will do BSN elsewhere since they require 1 year as an RN for their Master's programs I'll spend the year getting my BSN and be eligible to do the 2 year

  9. "I am sorry - I refuse to float to Peds!"

    Conqueror+ replied to abbaking's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am with you on that one salty. Long gone are the days of filling out one application and getting calls from 3 other facilities you never even applied to. I miss those getting hired the same day...

  10. "I am sorry - I refuse to float to Peds!"

    Conqueror+ replied to abbaking's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    To every nurse who reads this thread: If you had to choose between unemployment and losing your license, how many years of unemployment would need to be on the table for you to choose loss of...

  11. Excelsior and jobs

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

    Here in Florida with ya. Will be completing excelsior in November so thanks for the encouraging posts.

  12. cpne failures

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

    First off that sucks and I'm sorry to hear it ((HUGS)). Now, get in your CPNE study guide (make sure you get the 17th edition) and learn things their way. They lay it all out for you just the way they...

  13. I took the Excelsior CPNE Workshop

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

    Not that long but it depends on where you test. I actually got my date three weeks after I applied so.... You can be as general or specific regarding where you test. You can ask for first available...

  14. "I am sorry - I refuse to float to Peds!"

    Conqueror+ replied to abbaking's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Only advice my Mom(long time nurse) gave me when I graduated is: "you can always get another job, NOT another license". In 16 years of nursing I disregarded that once and it was nothing short of a...

  15. I should be ok.... right ?

    Conqueror+ replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Doing that today. Stay organized. Decide ahead of time where things will go. One stack of VIS, one stack of blank consents(if you need them), one for signed consents, and a tray of some kind with all...

  16. Today is the Day!

    Conqueror+ replied to ADPIE2008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know that you have already gone to test but prayers travel very well. I'm rooting for you

  17. I took the Excelsior CPNE Workshop

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

    Some workshops are timed to occur right before the actual CPNE. If you find one of those you will only have to fly once. You'll just be gone a week instead of 3 days. Hope this helps.

  18. HELP has anyone here actually gone to the cpneworkshop.com??

    Conqueror+ replied to Veronica22715's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am in the online version and it is great. Where did you see $100 off

  19. My take on the should I become a LPN/LVN first

    Conqueror+ replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Not sure how relevant this is but If you chose to go RN instead of LPN, I would say don't waste your time with a CC ADN. By the time you take prereq's, wait, get in, and finish you could have your...

  20. May Not Be able to start school due to lack of funds

    Conqueror+ replied to smclendon's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I understand that you don't want a loan but what is the alternative? Not becoming a nurse? Ask yourself this: How much will you earn in 2012 in your current job? How much will you earn as a nurse? If...

  21. May Not Be able to start school due to lack of funds

    Conqueror+ replied to smclendon's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Cali, how much time do you have left in school ? How much $$ do they want ? Not prying just HATE to see someone work hard and lose out. I've been following your journey for about three years and I...

  22. Some advice regarding a nursing instruuctors integrity

    Conqueror+ replied to pinkfluffybunny's topic in General Students

    I would tell the entire truth in writing and in person. I WOULD NOT drag anyone else into the fray. I understand that you are rightfully upset but its unfair to drag your classmates into it. How will...

  24. I'm really struggling with A&P need some support =(

    Conqueror+ replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Tasha, how long did you study for this test in all ? Just a ballpark

  25. Diplomas and Degrees and Certificates, Oh My!

    Conqueror+ replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

    Since the program is at a COMMUNITY COLLEGE then it is not a for profit school and the LPN may count towards an RN bridge. ASK about it. As an LPN I have worked in the ER, on a med surg floor, step...
