You definately are not wrong! So many times we hear staff members say "we're so busy", well there is no excuse for not showing dignity and respect to our patients. How would those nurses feel if it were their mother, father or any of their family members in that position--it totally would not be tolerated! When we see this behavior it is our duty to not allow this to go on! Dont ever lose your caring attitude!

Best wishes to you, you will do just wonderful!!!

You dont have to use Rue, save your money. I used Rue and found out that they dont supply all the info you need for the testing Excelsior require. Go on Excelsior web site and you can get all the books and testing info content you will need. Save your money!

University of Pennsylvania used to offer a program as well as Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA. Check them out, not sure if they still do.

I have found out that after being at the same job for 4+ years, or ever 1 year, you become very "familiar" which I believe is what some of us need. When switching jobs, you need to examine all factors involved, ie location, pay, hours, appreciation, and the list goes on. You'll find, when and if you leave, you'll stay in touch but will soon adjust to your new job. I always believed that job changes will increase your professional growth and experience. Never stay in a rut!!!!!!! :chuckle

I am currently enrolled at Excelsiors for my RN. Excelsior states on their catalog that they have nothing to do with those publishing companies and potential customers should educate themselves on what they offer. As far as I know, Excelsior also has study guides available. I am using one of those publishing companies and have not had any problems as of yet. Which ever way you decide, you will find out it isn't cheap. Be smart and read the small print. Good luck
