  1. CPNE - How bad is it really?

    nursetaminator replied to QuenymamiRN's topic in Excelsior College

    Couldn't have said it better myself. Just tested this weekend, no repeats. Ran myself into the ground worrying for no reason. No doubt you have to study and know those critical elements but it's...

  5. Can't get motivated

    nursetaminator replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Online Distance Learning

    When you decide you want it bad enough you'll get it done, at least that was the case for me. It always helped me to go ahead and schedule an exam so I'd have a target date to work toward. There...

    nursetaminator replied to vanni02's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm pretty close to finishing all my work with Excelsior going from LPN to RN. I've been really happy with them. I have no idea all the other options/schools available for transition to RN. It's...

    nursetaminator replied to hp86's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congrats and welcome!! Buy as many of your books or study guides off the internet as you can (if that's not what you're doing already). Will save TONS of $$$! Great sites to check are Amazon and...

    nursetaminator replied to dblpn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I had Eng I and II in CC, still had to do info lit. Doubt you'll get out of it. But yes, do it through Penn Foster. Can get it done in a few hours, no printing and it costs a little over $100. I...

  11. CPNE-ERS, please critique

    nursetaminator replied to LoopsRN2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No inject pad with the skills kit that I'm aware of but I didn't get mine from EC. It does come with the wound I do believe. My skills kit came from RUE (book publisher) as part of their expensive...

    nursetaminator replied to scherie88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ebay and Amazon are the best for finding books! Look for The College Network, Chancellor's or Rue. They're publishing companies. I've used info from all 3 and they're great. If you can get the...

  13. CPNE-ERS, please critique

    nursetaminator replied to LoopsRN2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Got the 4X4's in from nurse-mart and they're 8 ply, not 12 ply (12 ply used at CPNE). It doesn't say that on the website and I didn't bother to double check. Found what I needed on Amazon for about...

  14. College Network vs. Rue vs. Excelsior

    nursetaminator replied to Lockcuff's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yep, I got suckered in by RUE and to me they lagged behind the others in their study material. I actually bought CN stuff off the internet and used it to study instead of RUE's material. The...

  17. CPNE-ERS, please critique

    nursetaminator replied to LoopsRN2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Try nurse-mart.com. From the checking I did they had the best prices overall. I ordered 4x4's for wound practice and a few practice vials. I double checked ebay and couldn't find things cheaper. I...

  19. pet peeves when nursing students arrive

    nursetaminator replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Didn't like it when they wanted to sit around and gossip, or check out their makeup and hair, or didn't offer to help. What a great opportunity to be on the floor and learn. Some just didn't get it....
