  1. Oh, Michigan!!! Why do you take so long?

    SweettartRN replied to smitty10's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I would be on the phone with them daily. That is a long time to be waiting. When I got my LPN completed it took 3 weeks and I had my ATT. That was just over a year

  2. Coworker issues - so disheartening

    SweettartRN replied to rn865's topic in General Nursing

    RN VS MA= RN with more $$$, period. Perhaps both the MA and the snooper need to be terminated. This could be in violation of other employee's privacy and if it causing a rift in the work environment...

  3. New grad to Home Instead Senior Care..

    SweettartRN replied to ladymarfee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I found that when I did this years ago I was treated like a housekeeper. One lady even wanted me on the floor to scrub her floors by hand. There is no medical care, or if there is, you are basically...

  4. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    SweettartRN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think that should be illegal for schools to do that. They do that so that they can say that they have a very high NCLEX passing rate, but to me the HESI isn't an exact science, and neither is the...

  6. Excelsior College questions

    SweettartRN replied to pnmia10's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Since this website is set up to be a helping website, instead of sending you all over the world, I'll answer your questions. (I believe that you can't access the EPN until you are a registered...

  7. Michigan Excelsior students- some info

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    my understanding is that michigan simply verifies the license that you have in the other state and endorses you in. that is what they told me on the phone and through email. michigan needs to revamp...

  8. Minnesota BON application questions

    SweettartRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I applied on Friday to their online site and they accepted my payment. How soon will I be able to log into their website to look at my application status? Also, how quickly, once they get the info...

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I wouldn't be posting here if I hadn't already done so.

  10. HRC Medical Center

    SweettartRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been offered a position with them and am looking to see if anyone has/does work there, and what they think of

  11. Yelled at for posting on AN

    SweettartRN replied to Bormio's topic in General Students

    I had this happen to me while I was in LPN school. I paid to have a lawyer call them and remind them that I had posted no information (and I hadn't- another student told them that I was a member on...

  12. Any one know anything about assisted living RN?

    SweettartRN replied to nd deb's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Been there, done that, no thanks. You will get calls in the middle of the night every night, you get no time off (because you are on call- always) you have people passing meds who have no formal...

  13. Getting worried- no status update with Excelsior

    SweettartRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am more than a little freaked out now. I have not yet had a status update since passing the CPNE, and it says on their website that the cutoff for conferral by December 17th (the date they gave me)...

  14. Getting worried- no status update with Excelsior

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Finally! Approved for graduation and my grad packet is in the mail.

  15. having to tell your manager you're quitting....the good, bad, and ugly

    SweettartRN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I have a hard time with the giving notice myself. When I was in the "business" world, I gave notice twice- both times I worked for less than ideal companies (yet another reason I got into nursing) and...

  16. Reasons for Flu Vaccine Reluctancy

    SweettartRN replied to Kimberly111-13's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't get it, and won't get it- ever. It's my body, my choice, and I feel that God gave me an immune system for a reason and I don't want to mess around with it anymore that I have

  17. NCLEX Priority. What if there are no ABC's. Also, disaster clarification

    SweettartRN replied to jcutler's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I use ABC, then Maslow's and go from there. Just my

  18. Do you think the CDC is biased?

    SweettartRN replied to Tait's topic in Patient Education

    IMHO the CDC is not biased, but they are certainly not looking out for the people but for their pocketbooks. They are funded by the government who is lobbied by big pharm. Pharmaceutical companies...

  19. Flu shot controversy

    SweettartRN replied to JeniRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's my body, my choice, and my right to not have someone tell me that I "have" to do something. God gave us an immune system for a reason and I would rather not play around with mine. I don't get...

  20. Considering continuing with Excelsior for BSN

    SweettartRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Any thoughts on this? Are there better programs? I only have 7 classes, and that means that if I enrolled as soon as I pass my RN boards, I could be done by Christmas next year. Any thoughts on this...

  21. Questions about Excelsior Graduation stuff.

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    DonaldJ it was there! And I did get in with the package pricing, so I have the $500 graduation fee waived!!! THANK GOD. That is truly a blessing this close to Christmas; we weren't quite sure how we...

  25. Guess who is a GN???!!!!

    SweettartRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    For those who are wondering, this was at the Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse. KEEP IT SIMPLE. they are testing you on the most basic of nursing skills. This is not brain surgery. Good luck....
