    DeLynn replied to opalmRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I passed Life Span Developmental Pscyh! :rotfl: Now it's on to Mirco, which I'm dreading. Anyway, according to the Excelsior catalog, you can take NC1 and NC2 before enrolling, and as an LPN NC2...

    Has anyone used the Excelsior course guides? It seems a lot of people use Chancellor's or Rue's, but Excelsior's guides are less

    DeLynn replied to julie1014's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm just beginning Excelsior. My application took about 6 weeks for a reply, but once I received my approval I called for two course contents and I received them right away. You don't have to be...

  6. LPN's in hospitals

    DeLynn posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I went to LPN school in CT and moved to upstate NY right after. In my school they didn't teach us how to do blood draws or start IV's. I think because LPN's don't work in hospitals much in CT. So I...

  8. Lpn Vs. Rn Can This Be True

    DeLynn replied to sakuramom's topic in Agency Nurses

    CT is the highest paying state for LPN's. And since she works for an agency it's even more. But even without working for an agency I've seen up to $33.00 for per diem LPN's in a LTC facility. Too...

  9. Clinicals for Excelsior??

    DeLynn posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi, I've been reading the board about the CPNE, and from what I can gather, this test is in place of actual Clinical time spent in a formal program, is that right? I'm considering excelsior and also...

  10. Clinicals for Excelsior??

    DeLynn replied to DeLynn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, I'm currently an LPN. But right now i'm working at an Assistive Living facility and I don't think I will get very much experience there. In a formal program the students work under the...

  12. LPN programs in CT or NY?

    DeLynn replied to tommy33d's topic in Connecticut Nursing

  13. Best Paid State For Nursing

    DeLynn replied to bashy's topic in General Nursing

    The US Dept of Labor list the top 5 paying states for RN's and LPN's. I don't think they have a cost of living comparison

  14. LPN programs in CT or NY?

    DeLynn replied to tommy33d's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I attended New England Tech. I looked into the state programs, but the waiting list is long, and they only accept the top scores on the entrance exam. It is a lot of money, but it's a tax write off,...
