    Sweettooth: As an EMT-P with 9 years experience, you should have no problem at all. I'm a LP turned RN (new grad) and I had no trouble at all. In fact, I LOVED the class. If you've ever taken...

  4. Anyone going through Excelsior?

    rachelgp replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Texas Nursing

    You shouldn't have any problem. Remember, they don't really make any money from you unless you're a student--and they want the business! I just graduated from there in February, so if there's...

    Don't stress too bad. Yes, you should study, but it's not a killer class or anything. I took it yesterday and today and made 100% on the written, got all the skill labs, too. And I'm a fairly new...

  6. What is your ER like?

    rachelgp posted a topic in Emergency

    Well, I'm a new grad, and this is the only ER I've ever worked in, but there are some issues here, and I was wondering if this is a facility/regional problem, or if it's like this everywhere. The...

  7. Why the stupid reasons to come to the ER?

    rachelgp replied to snowfreeze's topic in Emergency

    I agree with what you guys have been saying so far. I think in my community it boils down to ignorance/lack of education and a dwindling number of minor emergeny clinics. Used to be, you'd find a...

  10. Unreasonable?

    rachelgp posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Ok, I'm new to allnurses, but I need some advice. I am a new RN (graduated in February) and I am working in an ER. It's on the small side--only 12 beds. I was moved to night shift last month, and...

  11. Unreasonable?

    rachelgp replied to rachelgp's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have 4 off sometimes. I honestly don't have a "regular" schedule. It is different every week, without much of a pattern. A couple of times lately, I've had 3 on, one off, 3 more on and then 4...

  12. Best CPNE sites?

    rachelgp replied to hrire's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did mine at Plano, and absolutely loved it. The hospital is not real big, but it is a Magnet facility and everyone was so nice! The staff was very supportive, and the faculty was great! To top it...

  13. Curious about Excelsior CPNE exam

    rachelgp replied to ron2368's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took the CPNE in January and breezed through without having to retest a single thing. I think the main factors are the huge amount of stress involved (test is up to $1725 now and the long waiting...
