    KellyCCRN replied to JeffTheRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    we had similar problems with baxter pumps. Thankfully a little over a year ago we switched to alaris pumps....they took quite a while to get used to as you have to actually program in the pt and the...

  2. LPN's role?

    KellyCCRN replied to adidas99's topic in Georgia Nursing

    wow I 'm kind of surprised to read some of these responses. I have worked at a mid-sized hospital for several years now as an LPN ( finishing RN school at the moment). In the facility that I work I...

  3. Lpn to Rn online?

    KellyCCRN replied to Carafaith's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't believe that anyone was trying to be rude. To clarify EC is not an online program it is considered distance learning. You do not "attend" class online or have assignments it is a self study...

  4. INfo for LVN to BSN at indiana state university?

  6. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    KellyCCRN replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I agree it could be done. I can also see their point of view as well. I have completed everything except my CPNE at this point ( which I'm holding off on now) Believe me it's extremely frusterating. I...

  7. MN EC students/grads

    KellyCCRN replied to jenniferlynn98's topic in Online Distance Learning

    EC grads from GA usually apply to MN for NCLEX because they have the fastest processing times and very little paperwork required compared to some states. I say If you live in MN go for it they seem to...

    KellyCCRN replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I know several people around my area who decided to go with ISU and are having a horrible time getting someone to precept their clinicals....it is a very involved process. At this point I do not think...

    KellyCCRN replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Right now there is no standard set number of hours of clinical time for and RN program. Believe me I remember my LPN clinicals all too well and at times dreaded them....they were nothing like the...

  10. What does HD mean for nursing exams?

    KellyCCRN replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Under the new cirriculum you will not be taking NC 1-7, HD is health differences....The first 3 tests are Essentials of Nursing Care: Health Safety, Health Differences and Reproductive Health.....Then...

    KellyCCRN replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

  12. Excelsior Grads - Do You Think Online Nursing Is In Jeopardy? What State Are You In?

    KellyCCRN replied to beginning's topic in Online Distance Learning

    So much of that varies from state to state....In GA depending on the facility LPN's have a larger scope of practice than in a lot of other states. Even as an LPN I was taught IV push ect...I am...

  13. Is there I light at the end of Tunnel for EC Grads? I think I see one.

    KellyCCRN replied to FocusRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for that....right now I need all the hope I can get. It is reassuring to know that maybe EC is fighting a battle for us although they may not be vocal about

  14. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    KellyCCRN replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    That was my feeling on it.....If they are that willing to just refund the enrollment fee do they not intend to give it a good fight? At this point needless to say I have not applied for my CPNE and...

  15. Is it only a matter of time?

    KellyCCRN replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was comfortable with it too until I learned that after completing all the requirements except the CPNE that I could no longer be licensed in the state I live. I was actually set to enter a...

  17. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    KellyCCRN replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I totally agree at this point they have no evidence of "unsafe practice" by EC grads. They merged my post to this thread earlier regarding the letter I got from EC today....just curious what...

    KellyCCRN replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

  19. GA Excelsior college grads and students please read!!!

    KellyCCRN posted a topic in Georgia Nursing

    As of July 1, 2008 due to house bill 1041 GA will no longer endorse excelsior graduates. At this point I am completely distraught over this. I am scheduled to take my last test monday and then I will...

    KellyCCRN replied to KellyCCRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    IF we have to move we are definitely considering SC. We live in southwest GA right now so it would still be about a 6-7 hr drive depending on the area but it at least would be managable and we could...

    KellyCCRN replied to KellyCCRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm really praying and holding out that the GA BON will at least grandfather the rest of currently enrolled students in but you guys are right about plan B. I really don't want to move and had planned...

    KellyCCRN replied to KellyCCRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well after talking to my husband tonight I think if things don't change we may be looking to move to either Texas (where he grew up) or South Carolina. I hate to think about up-rooting my kids and...

    KellyCCRN replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    That's the problem there isn't a program that is as flexible and meets the needs of working adults. I thought long and hard before chosing EC I chose them because of their reputation and at the...
