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

    Pmdc replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Sounds like the same closed-minded way of thinking that Rep Sharon Cooper uses. Even the same wording Cooper used. Maybe Cooper's the BON's puppetmaster. Instead of just saying that EC is inferior,...

    Pmdc replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    It is a great program for the right individual. I've only taken one class at the graduate level, but I believe that the EC program better prepared me for graduate studies. It takes a certain amount of...

    Pmdc replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    it is encouraging and, if nothing else, should serve as a reminder that the ec students aren't alone here. i know of quite a few people who are in support of ec and its georgia students, and some of...

    Pmdc replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I believe that Rep. Sharon Cooper (a Masters prepared nurse, by the way, as many of you know) was the architect of this legislative train wreck. From what I've read, she was the one who introduced HB...

    Pmdc replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I agree. How many Governors of other states have ever voiced support for their state's EC grads when they were threatened. I may be wrong, but this may be a first. Either way, the man has my

    Pmdc replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Also, according to Fox 5 Atlanta, the Office of the Governor had voiced its support of licensing EC graduates, yet we've still arrived at this point. What gives? What will it take to reach a fair and...

    Pmdc replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    From what I remember, Sunshine06, when this happened in California they simply said that if a student was enrolled at EC before a certain date (12/01/2003 I think), then they remained eligible for...

  16. How much did Excelsior program cost you total? For those that have completed program

    Pmdc replied to MereSanity's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Graduated in 2005. Spent around $4,000. Used only free EC study guides. I know many people that spent a lot more, but it was always due to paying fees to the publishing

  17. How long did it take you?

    Pmdc replied to shannonFNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Completed all pre-reqs through local college. 6 months for the EC nursing exams, then 6 more months until the CPNE date. The wait seems long for the CPNE, but most of us probably needed it to prepare....

  18. Excelsior preceptorship! I think they need one.

    Pmdc replied to boyle80's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Are the precepted clinicals sponsored by EC, or a school/hospital in the students' local areas in Oklahoma? I agree, the CPNE should be considered adequate to meet any state's clinical requirements,...

    Pmdc replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I saw a copy of the letter. Does it mean they're accepting what's been handed to them by the GA BON, even though it's totally without scientific merit? From what I've been able to find, it's just...

    Pmdc replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    How do they determine what is safe? Clinical learning? Clinical exams? Licensing boards? According to the NCSBN it is the licensing boards that determine the potential for safe, effective, competent...

    By God I think you're on to something! Not only should we as EC grads have our licenses taken away, they should go back and take the license of EVERY nurse who graduated from a diploma program in the...
