  1. CPNE workshops/camps

    Laurie888 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    for the CPNE, not bunking, good idea. I hadn't thought that far really seriously. I'm 99% sure I want the Chancellor's workshop, I would just feel a LOT better with 5 days, and I've heard nothing...

  2. CPNE workshops/camps

    Laurie888 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I finally found last night a thread where a lot of people recommended the careplan workshop, which is the one that seems most within my budget, and mentioned the hotel they all stayed at ... still...

  3. Anybody considered legal action against BONs for non-recognition?

    Laurie888 replied to mobileLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It's just an idea I picked up from reading here, and I still like the IDEA. My point is I think it's a good one as a supplemental resource to those of us who might actually need a refresher in...

  4. Anybody considered legal action against BONs for non-recognition?

    Laurie888 replied to mobileLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Except that I for one like the idea of CA's 80 hour clinical. Even a 40 hour clinical offered in various parts of the country would be useful. It would be a very viable and I suspect used resource...

  5. EC English Comp

    Laurie888 replied to dvapwr's topic in Online Distance Learning

    When I was in traditional nursing school, I had to take the clep for eng 101 three times. CLEP informed me that my FIRST score was good enough for most schools, but my school had a higher standard,...

  6. New Here w/ ? about Online School

    Laurie888 replied to cdietrich404's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Excelsior is distance learning, and you can apply some online courses (and I think they even offer a few now) but it's not really an online school. More importantly, you must have clinical experience...

  7. One more done!

    Laurie888 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Second go-round of NC2, got a B today. Thanks in large part to finally treating my ADD !! Things made sense that never made sense before. Two nursing exams left -- NC5 and NC7 ... then adult...

  8. CLEP and EC

    Laurie888 replied to FocusRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't know. I do know that I CLEP'd out of English 101 in college, and although Excelsior has granted me a 'pass' and is using the credits for humanities, they will not accept it for their writing...

  9. Looking for a way to study

    Laurie888 replied to LittleLady's topic in Online Distance Learning

    But, if you sift through the threads, or maybe someone knows specifically, of some of the pre-nursing type courses (micro, A&P) that would transfer to a college for credit when the time came for...

  10. New Cpne Site For Excelsiors

    Laurie888 replied to CSLee3's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This is great, hopefully it should alleviate the wait in other sites as

  11. Question re: NC5

    Laurie888 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Does anybody recall what, other than psych, is on this exam? I can reach the excelsior webpage but for some reason, from work, I can't log in or go beyond the main page to see the content. Need...

  12. Question re: NC5

    Laurie888 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've joined several of the yahoo groups. Entirely due to recommendations from here! For some reason I didn't think of that while at work. Probably because getting online isn't actively discouraged...

  13. Question re: NC5

    Laurie888 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Had a few spare minutes at work and thought I'd try to go through our mini-library on the unit and find whatever I could that might apply to my next (and last!) NC exam. Home now. Phew. Merry...

  14. Be very Careful about considering Excelsior's Online ADN program...

    Laurie888 replied to ColoLPNStudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    First of all, Excelsior is NOT an ONLINE program. It is a program that gathers up all your credits, gives you credits for exams, and a degree. Took all my old credits from nursing school (I went 3/4...

  15. One more done!

    Laurie888 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Like I said I know I'm not the one who said I was taking pot shots (not that I haven't from time to time) but I did admit to exam by cramination. I aced mine today (but could just as easily have done...

  16. One more done!

    Laurie888 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Fortunately, after having gone 3/4 of the way through a traditioinal program with all prerequsites, even years after the fact most of my studying is, to me, review. If it were all, or even mostly,...

  17. Excelsior Ethics test?

    Laurie888 replied to TooterIA's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If there is anything new you are reading, doesn't matter if it is boring. At least read through it and write down anything you didn't know already, unless you've got money and time to spare. As...

  18. One more done!

    Laurie888 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Although they list the resources (which is great) I justed used -- my old nursing books. Except for just a little out of date material, it is still there. I look at notes on all the yahoo websites...

  19. One more done!

    Laurie888 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hijack away, we all need good news on a regular basis. B's are good. Even C's mean you pass. I usually manage a B average without trying TOO hard (just usually test pretty easy, haven't been nearly...

  21. One more done!

    Laurie888 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That's a great plan, but even if you were done with your nursing exams today it is not likely you'd be able to take the CPNE in April. From what I understand, it takes about a month after your last...

  22. Where are each of you in the EC program?

    Laurie888 replied to opalmRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think you get to skip NC2 if you had a B average in your LPN

  23. Need tips for NC2!!

    Laurie888 replied to kesneysmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Be very careful of this. If you did not have the s/s of ADD before you were 7, you cannot have it now. **** I know a lot, a whole lot, about ADD. My son was diagnosed about 6 years ago, the funny...

  24. Need tips for NC2!!

    Laurie888 replied to kesneysmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think it depends on your strong areas. Memorizing is not mine and it seems there is more of that for this one. I got a D on it the first time (but have been treated for ADD since -- I couldn't focus...

  25. Where are each of you in the EC program?

    Laurie888 replied to opalmRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You have to complete your nursing exams and be within 9 credits of your other requirements. I'm not sure what the truth is, but if it is 6-8 weeks to get notification of eligibility (i've heard it...
