This is interesting as I never considered consulting as a future career option. Do you guys go to college for healthcare informatics or just learn from experience? I currently have a job in healthcare informatics and was considering going for MSN in ...

I am currently in excelsiors lpn to adn program but I kind of want to get into a program that is accepted in all states since I might want to move to a state that doesn't recognize excelsior graduated nurses. Are there any colleges that transfer in e...

Do you think online class would do.any good my last month? I know critical elements and pretty confident with care plans, I am taking lynns workshop next week. What all does it go over?

Ah yes I forgot about sherri! I have heard wonderful things about her online workshop online. If I hadnt already paid for my workshop I would have done hers! How much is her online class btw? Im going to lynns next week in north carolina :-) testing...

oh and I would really recommend going to a workshop if you have time. NOT an excelsior workshop!!! either lynn's or either or the tina's. (google search lynn's cpne or tina's cpne) there are youtube videos as well that are great, just search cpne and...

get rob's cpne videos, (www.robscpne.com) they give you mneumonics and dvds to remember the areas of care. you can also buy it for the labs. do the practice pcs scenerios on excelsior's website and do the careplans and submit it via ec's message cent...

I am so glad I read your post! I want to go on for my NP so I was thinking go to WGU for BSN then continue on. Glad I know that I shouldn't go there. that's such a bummer where did you end up going??

I feel like I always do poorly on practice tests but then end up getting A's on my actual tests! Took micro practice test few days before my actual test got a 58 and 60 and then an A on the actual test. Go figure.

so is reproductive a relatively new course? I have an old college network chronicity book and it has quite a big section of reproductive health and sexuality. so that is no longer a part of nursing 3 right?

studygroup101 waaaayyyyyy better than lisa's notes! I agree with the other posts though, use it as a supplemental study guide in addition to other study information. I get used college network books and mystudygroup101 and have passed every test easi...

anyone around the cincinnati area don't waste your time with best choice home care. They "hired" me I went through orientation, the whole hiring process and then they never called me. I did everything right and I didn't even get a phone call. I tried...

I was guaranteed "as many hours as I wanted". I've always wanted to be a home health care nurse so this was a big disapointment for me. Basically I was just waiting for on the field training and would be ready to go. I just wish they would have retur...

I work for NBD and they are very professional and the management is awesome and very helpful which is very unlike alot of companies out there! The owner of the company is so sweet and will help you out with anything. They are flexible with scheduling...

its so cool seeing other nurses on here that also have piercings and tattoos! I just think of the healthcare field as such a conservative looking field its interesting to see others who "hide" their little secrets at work as well! I have a septum pie...

I want to go to a college that I can take online, I'm cool if I have to go to clinicals and travel a couple times during the course of the program even if its in another state. I just don't think I can do excelsior, I need deadlines, actual courses o...

its not worth your license! I got out of nursing school less than a year ago and over and over we were told lpns CAN NOT flush picc lines. all you can do is dressing changes on it and IV certified LPN's can insert IV's from the ac space down.

so I have already had excelsior look at my transcripts but I don't think I can do microbiology self paced and test out so I want to take an online program with deadlines and all that but can I do that after my transcripts have been looked at? I have ...

I'm starting bohecker's adn program in april and I'm nervous so come and sit by me in class if you read this. I'll be the 20-something-year-old girl with bleach blonde hair. I'm a good study partner and I'm nice :) I'll see you on orientation on wedn...

I want to go for my rn but I can't find a flexible job. for those of you who are lpns going for your rn where do you work at while you go to school? is it possible? I need to keep a decent amount of hours but I can't find a job that will allow me to ...

I don't remember the score off hand but its like basic stuff. I remember there being some terminology some math, reading. I passed everything even math which is amazing since I've always struggled in that subject. There were examples that were like; ...

I really want to go back to nursing school to get my adn as I am a lpn currently but I feel as a charge nurse its next to impossible to find a job where it's really flexible so I can work when I'm out of school. Right now my work schedule is 7-3 but ...

I graduated recently from hondros and the ages of student range from 20's to 50's generally. Honestly very few students were fresh out of high school, alot of people who had been in careers for x amount of years and then decided to go for nursing. Yo...

I am a new grad and have been orientating at my first nursing job on day shift. I am wanting to switch to nights though because I don't want to burn myself out with my first job and as a float on day shift I think I will. passing meds takes forever a...

who are these dreaded "state employees" that come into our jobs and cause everyone to freak out? I know they are surveyors of sorts but how do I become one? what is their officials job title? what is a day on the job like? if you are one or know some...

sorry if this post offended some of the nighters but I've compared night to day shift (at MY work) and yeah dayshift has way more to do mostly because the doctors want all the blood pressures, accu checks so on to be done during the morning shift. th...
