  1. Are all Excelsior Grads "Super Smart" ?

    Be 100% sure that you are willing to give up California as an RN indefinitely. If you can do that then go for it. Hang in there

    Seriously

  10. Deploying as a military RN

    Some may disagree which is of course fine but you have to be honest. You can't perform a job if you are not present. If you interviewed a nurse with a stellar resume who told you how great they were...

    You are 100% correct about compact licensure and residency
  13. Whadda u think about the college network?

    I would urge ANYONE who has had problems passing a standardized test to not attend Excelsior. The CPNE is NOTHING like traditional programs. It is not a clinical teaching experience. It is like a two...
  14. Too Green or Too Old?

    Hi Bram I don't know much about the navy but can offer you a safety net with the army. I know that they have a special program for nurses aged 43 to 60. You only have to commit to 2 years at a time...
  15. RN On-call car plates/sign on cars

    Not sure what type of sign you are referring to but I disagree with identifying my vocation to every schmo on the road. Had an ex coworker with RN BENZ on the tage of her mercedes. All it got her was...

  20. Time of the month in light colored scrubs

    Unfortunately yes. Clinicals are pretty demanding and regardless of what protection I wear if I don't get to the bathroom every 45 minutes that first day and a half.
  21. Wronged by Clinical Instructor needing some closure.....

    You can take it as far as you like but retalliation is REAL. Instructors are people with attitudes/psych disorders/jobs to keep etc.. and no school is going to screw over an instructor for one...
  22. Nursing School Drama queens

    Would you tell your coworkers how much you earn ? Sharing grades is like that. It can only inspire jealousy or cause drama. I did that as a newbie and will always hold fast to this rule. Work in the...
  23. Do I really have to do Med-Surg when I graduate?
