  1. I am eligible for cpne! under new curriculum!

    Up2nogood RN replied to nursemomof3boys's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wow-Way to go!!! I was wondering about the FCCA b/c I couldn't find any info about it...my last exam is next

  2. CCC Application Question

    Up2nogood RN replied to Spotty44's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I think it's required but I've been out of the loop for a few years. In your situation I would call CCC directly and ask since you will need as many points as you can get. Good

  3. Currently Enrolled Excelsior Students

    Up2nogood RN replied to FocusRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    In my opinion it's impossible to even try and know everything they want you to -unless you really don't have a life(like kids,family,job,etc). 1. I take a practice exam 2. see where I'm weak or...

  4. Passed health differences 2 with an "A"

    Up2nogood RN replied to nursemomof3boys's topic in Online Distance Learning

    :lol2:Congrats to you! I might try using the memo board with this one b/c it scares me a little to be honest:uhoh3:. I took HD # 1 on Monday and sailed thru w/ an A, and take # 2 next Friday and will...

  5. Another workshop for me!

    Up2nogood RN replied to Lunah's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It's on the top of my to-do list for tomorrow . I haven't studied very much so far into this but I know the CPNE is a whole different

  6. Another workshop for me!

    Up2nogood RN replied to Lunah's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't think you can over prepare for this! Thanks for the tip about Lynn F's workshop, there is going to be one in Portland. What a relief b/c I was really stressing that I'd have to walk into this...

    Up2nogood RN replied to nursemomof3boys's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, pretty much...either you know the stuff or you

  8. Roll Call, LPN to RN Students!!!

    Up2nogood RN replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in LPN to RN

    I don't know if they're all quite that easy but health safety seemed just like an LPN review to me. I've passed 4 exams in the past 30 days with A's & B's...it can be

  9. Passed Transition with an "A"

    Up2nogood RN replied to nursemomof3boys's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Right on!! I took it today too along w reproduction and thought I failed for sure but I got a B and an A for repro. It was pretty tough I have to admit and I'm glad I got it out of the

  11. Transition to RN

    Up2nogood RN replied to BetterMeRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thats one thing I don't like about the TCN tests is not having the rationales. But it had a huge bank of questions which covered just about everything on this subject. I've looked through about 4...

  12. Transition to RN

    Up2nogood RN replied to BetterMeRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Tell me about it, I'm taking it Thursday and I don't know if I'm ready for it but I'm gonna wing it. I took the 2 practice exams from EC and TCN practice test of 296 questions (boy was that fun), and...

  13. Currently Enrolled Excelsior Students

    Up2nogood RN replied to FocusRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes they have had "rounding" or "stand up" nearly everywhere I have worked too. What I can't understand is why we need to be tested on basic stuff like that if we already did it and passed as an LPN!...

  14. Currently Enrolled Excelsior Students

    Up2nogood RN replied to FocusRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm under the impression that the FCCA will get me in the nursing process/assessment mode way of thinking (or rather how they want me to think), or so I hope . It sure seems that nursing programs make...

  15. Currently Enrolled Excelsior Students

    Up2nogood RN replied to FocusRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    While I'm extremely motivated to get the nursing exams done I'm terrified of the CPNE!! I've had 15 yrs of health care exp but just 2 months of LPN exp in peds home health. In my LPN clinicals there...

  16. Health Safety....Results

    Up2nogood RN replied to BetterMeRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm using TCN for both and my texts from LPN program....pretty much all the same info I learned in LPN for reproduction and peds but transition to RN is new material for me. I got a 78 on form A for...

  17. Health Safety....Results

    Up2nogood RN replied to BetterMeRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Health safety seemed pretty simple for me, I got an A and didn't study too much. But I took Chronicity and it seemed more of a challenge and got a B. I take both exams on Thursday-transitions than...

  18. Anyone in Portland going through Excelsior??

    Up2nogood RN replied to ORRocksRN's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I just took my first EC exam 2 wks ago and I've signed up with pearson to have all exams complete by the end of March, I'll just have the computer clinical assessment, a humanities course to CLEP and...

  19. LPN to RN programs?

    Up2nogood RN replied to WoosahRN's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Even though the CPNE has a 6-8 month wait it will still be quicker for me than trying to get into Clark or Lower Columbia for an LPN to RN bridge. Just a word of advice though -I made the mistake of...

  20. Pioneer Pacific College

    Up2nogood RN replied to Browneyes98's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I just graduated from Apollo's LPN program last Oct. and I think the programs are pretty similar. What kinds of clinicals have you done and how much longer do you have to go in your program? To be...

  21. NCLEX right after program

    Up2nogood RN replied to alliemb222's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yep, I did it. Took it 2 weeks after my program was finished. The NCLEX was actually easier for me than ATI testing I had in my program. I don't recommend it but I passed after 86

  22. New formed Family Counsel for Residents in Assisted Living Facility

    Up2nogood RN replied to Snawdad's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I've heard of resident councils in LTC facilities that I've been to in the past. I was a licensed CNA and CMA for 15 years and worked in a variety of settings. I worked agency and went frequently to...

    Up2nogood RN replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Home Health

    I started working for a peds home agency and they sent me to a 3 hr class to feel comfortable with vents. Is there a home health agency in your area that supplies homes with medical equipment,they...

  24. Am I missing Something?

    Up2nogood RN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm getting ready to take essentials of safety (excelsior) exam and it seems very basic and simple? I just finished an LPN program and it seems like everything I've already covered. I was just curious...

  25. Am I missing Something?

    Up2nogood RN replied to Up2nogood RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was in a hurry and didn't know about this site so I got suckered into TCN. I've looked through the excelsior study guides and all the info so far is in my books I used with LPN program (actually...
