  1. Anyone currently in the Excelsior bridge program?

    LPN_2005/RN_10 replied to butterbye04's topic in LPN to RN

    It took me a year to finish Excelsior's nursing program and I have no regrets! It takes a self-learner with little procrastination to be able to successfully complete the program. Just like...

    LPN_2005/RN_10 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I hate, hate, hate driving in the snow, but I have never missed a work day because of it. I'm not a experienced driver at all and snow just makes it more difficult, but I do drive very slowly, and let...

  7. I am tired of this attitude

    LPN_2005/RN_10 replied to PostOpPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    On this forum I've read posts from some people stating that you really don't have to care about the patient, you just have to be competent at doing your job. I believe it have to be both, you have to...

    LPN_2005/RN_10 replied to caringtouch's topic in General Nursing

    Your friend was exaggerating when she said she had to wait 13 months for a test date. I only waited 3 weeks after I applied to get a test date. The longest wait I ever read from other students was no...

    Did you try taking a Kaplan review course. There has been many RNs at my job that says the course was wonderful and helped them pass the NCLEX the first time. I think it's around $500 for the class...

  17. Excelsior Grads - Where are they now?

    LPN_2005/RN_10 replied to EricJRN's topic in Excelsior College

    That individual who says Excelsior is a rip off has only read about other disgruntled students who have failed the CPNE. Every school has their risks of students not passing clinicals. Going to a...

    I know exactly how you feel. I brought a Weight Watcher's Smart Ones frozen dinner to work, put it in the freezer with my name on it. Once I got a break, my dinner wasn't there. Now I usually don't...

    I thought I've read on the EPN board that the clinical associate didn't want them to use Impaired Gas Exchange for a diagnosis. The faculty says different-that we can use that diagnosis, but it seems...
