  1. Thank you to everyone for your suggestions. I think I am going to take a few days off and regroup and then set up a new plan for the last month. I stayed away from everything pretty much yesterday...

  3. Another EC RN made the grade!

    Congrats!!!! Way to push through and get to your goal!!!
  4. Daytonite, Thank you for your thoughtful post with advice. I know these care plans are not how I would do them for work and have had to change them according to the CPNE test. They want them wayyyyy...
  5. The staff replied to my earlier care plan and we cannot use "AEB need for one assist" She has replied to several others recently stating the same because we can't use an intervention for AEB has to be...
  6. Noted!! Thanks!!! Trust me I don't want to fail for losing too much time doing things I don't need to be doing in the first place. :hdvwl: Yes, understand all the above!!!
  7. Baldee, do you think we suffer from short term memory? You are not a future potential student but instead you post negative things about EC all the time on the Georgia thread. For example just...
  8. Another question long as I am on it. So for intervention I can just put "assess skin" I don't have to do any further explanation like where or for what. Assess skin of right elbow etc... Please and...
  9. THANK YOU!!!!! Thanks for breaking it down!!!!!!! I am using Carpenito's so I got the impaired tissue integrity from there. I wasn't sure if I could use the skin integrity since it is a stoma so went...
  10. CPNE...feeling jumbled up!

    I can totally feel your pain or maybe my family can more. I am sure they can't wait to have their dining room back or mostly I should say the table. My five year old could probably teach a few...
  11. CPNE GRIDS

    You are welcome. I hope it
  12. I admire that you admit what happened and I know many people who would not or push blame onto others. I believe everything happens for a reason, good or bad. Sometimes we can't understand why at the...
  13. CPNE GRIDS

    I have been getting emails now for the grid so for others I attached my grid for you. It is a word doc. so you can use it as a template and change things around for yourself. I highlighted in yellow...
  14. CPNE GRIDS

    PM me your email address and I will send you mine which is a word
  15. Speaking up to do what? I still don't see your point. Are you trying to speak up to discourage other students? You speak up saying we don't have the facts and that we can't back up what we speak about...
  16. First Baldee wants stats and then when given the facts this is the response "And stats can lie per state etc..." I would like to know if 8 people in your comm. college take the test and only 2 pass...
  17. Hmmmm.... I seem to remember when there was talk that a community college Assoc. degree wasn't considered the appropriate education for an RN. Educators were making arguements stating that education...
  18. HI Everyone, Can someone clarify evaluation of outcome/goal and interventions? Does there have to be a pt. response for both the eval. of the outcome/goal and eval. of the interventions?
  19. evaluation phase of CPNE

    THANKS!!!!!! I agree. It would be pretty hard to argue against a pt. response so it would be more withstanding than anything else I would
  20. evaluation phase of CPNE

    Just to clarify. On page 320 sg it says to validate an "Effective" evaluation of the intervention by documenting the pt's response to the nursing intervention you performed. It doesn't state if we...
  21. Introduction

    Good luck!!! You have come to the right place. Worry about the CPNE when the time comes. Focus on what is at hand. You will have time to deal with the CPNE afterwards. Once you are ready hit us...
  22. Preceptorship-here in WA state we are required 200 hours. I have seen at least 4 people at work do it but we are a skilled nursing facility. An RN at your preceptor site has to fill out paperwork...
  23. NEED HELP!! New Excelsior Student

    I completely think it is doable. I did three weeks in between each but the first week was always kind of slacking and seond week I would start to really get into it and the third week was not stop...
  24. Warning - excelsior students

    Thanks to all of you. I know I can do this and getting the added oomph and support from you is just what I need and why I come here. So, if I get a little emotional I am sorry but when I see these...
  25. Warning - excelsior students

    Thanks!!! I know the safety net is there for repeats but it just seems like so many are failing lately and over just such minor things. I know we shouldn't base ourselves on what others do and...
