  1. Longtime lurker--can I join you?

    pielęgniarka replied to DonutNurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I live in Minnesota as well, so it was nice to read your post. I started Excelsior 2 years after I finished with my LPN. I have loved being able to study at home and take my time with it! Life would...

  2. LPN to BSN advice

    pielęgniarka replied to christiLPN's topic in General Nursing

    If I had to do it over, I would have gone straight for the BSN! Granted it would have been terribly difficult for me with a family and jobs and bills, but if you don't have much for obligations-- go...

  3. Tell me the good things about LTC!

    pielęgniarka replied to NewEnglandRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't consider it a step down either. Some LTC's don't pay as much vs hospital pay and some pay more so go figure. For me LTC was a job where I only had a 5 minute commute. That's what got me in...

  7. Manager charting and my documentation missing!?

    pielęgniarka replied to ladylikeRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Did you ask your boss what happened to your prog. notes from that evening? If so, what did she say? Did she deny their existance? Or admit that she replaced them? Who wants to be involved in a...

  9. Bad news on NC 6

    pielęgniarka replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I got a D on one EC exam as well, and it practically killed me. I recommend taking the practice exam from EC ($60) and read through the Q&A descriptions on it over and over so you memorize...

  16. A big, fat CPNE failure here

    pielęgniarka replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Shoot, I'm so saddened to hear this. I checked back in today to see how everything went for you... For the cost of the CPNE, it would be so nice if EC could at least offer a practice day, to start...
