  1. Excelsior College and Georgia. How are the Precepted Clinicals Working?

    Pmdc posted a topic in Excelsior College

    I know a couple of people in Georgia who are starting the precepted clinicals after completing the EC ASN. From what I hear, it's easier if you do it through the hospital where you are employed. Is...

  2. Passed my boards today!

    Pmdc replied to ivanh3's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah, what's next? A long break? MCG's DNP? Anyway, congrats. Hope to be there myself in a few

  3. Associates degree nurse salary vs. bachelor's ??

    Pmdc replied to Strawberrygirl2's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry for the brevity. ATL is ATLanta. Along similar lines of WI being WIsconsin. I do agree with the path you mention. Why not make money while pursuing the

  4. Excelsior College and Georgia. How are the Precepted Clinicals Working?

    Pmdc replied to Pmdc's topic in Excelsior College

    I read yours and others posts about your experiences. You ended up with initial licensure in another state, and then wasn't able to endorse, right? The system our State has created, be it for those...

    Hey-ohh!!!!:imbar

  6. Associates degree nurse salary vs. bachelor's ??

    Pmdc replied to Strawberrygirl2's topic in General Nursing

    Oh. Interesting. I'm in the ATL area and from what I've been seeing the trend here seems to be going in the opposite direction as that mentioned above. I've known a few new grads with ASN degrees who...

  8. What is your experience with ADN program through Excelsior College

    Pmdc replied to Mandy79's topic in Online Distance Learning

    My experience with EC was great. If you decide to go with study guides from TCN, Rue, etc., then just buy them used. Some of the publishing companies have shady reputations, and sometimes the line...

  9. Men in Nursing

    Pmdc replied to eas78's topic in General Students

    I've spent my career around areas like the ER, ICU, and flight. Men seem to be pretty well represented in those areas, as well as in anesthesia. I do notice that when I visit one of our med-surg areas...

  10. Associates degree nurse salary vs. bachelor's ??

    Pmdc replied to Strawberrygirl2's topic in General Nursing

    "Is it common that Associates degree RNs make the same as Bachelor's degree RNs in a hospital staff nurse position?" There usually isn't a huge difference in pay, at least in my experience. I think...

  11. MD as Preceptor?

    Pmdc replied to wrigh146's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I start my rotations in the next couple of weeks, and my first preceptor is an MD. The school allows us to use MD, DO, NP, and PA. I had hoped to work with a diverse group, and learn as much as...

    You might check out this site: http://ecg.bidmc.harvard.edu/maven/mavenmain.asp Hundreds of practice ECGs with

  13. Spinal protocols

    Pmdc replied to mwboswell's topic in Emergency

    We are not presently clearing C-spines by physical exam at my facility, but I think the time has come for properly trained RNs/Paramedics to perform this skill. Just from some of the research I've...

  14. Honesty answers needed.....Will going to an HBCU affect hiring opportunities

    Pmdc replied to runnerVA's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't even know what an HBCU was until now. Seriously, I really don't think anyone would even consider that when making hiring decisions. If they did, then I wouldn't want to work there anyway. I...

  15. NP age??

    Pmdc replied to kayakin08's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm in the fire dept also. I've worked as an emergency nurse for several years and starting NP school in August. I'm 42. I still have twelve more years in the FD, so I guess I'll do both, as I don't...

  16. CPNE

    Pmdc replied to gamedic31C's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Good advice, Lunah. In addition, although I didn't spend a lot of time with the other candidates, stay clear of those who are stressed and experiencing meltdowns. If you've been a medic for a while,...

  17. CPNE

    Pmdc replied to gamedic31C's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congrats on your upcoming CPNE date. I took the CPNE at SRMC in 2005. Very friendly and professional. Some of those working as evaluators worked as educators for area universities. I know one was...

  18. Yay, scholarship!

    Pmdc replied to Lunah's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congratulations! Have you applied for an ENA scholarship? If not, you should check it out on their

  19. Can you take courses through Excelsior and transfer them....

    Pmdc replied to Raefabian4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The only non-nursing course/exam I have taken through EC is Statistics. I was given credit for it through my BSN program, and it was accepted when I applied to grad school, no questions asked. I would...

  20. thinking of starting with Excelsior....

    Pmdc replied to flightnurse2b's topic in Online Distance Learning

    With your pre-req courses done, it sounds like you're good to go. Don't let another day pass without doing something to work towards your goal. It's a great program for those already having clinical...

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

    Pmdc replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Anyone speak to the Governor's office yet regarding his latest opinion on HB-475? I know some of you guys don't support it beacuse of the omission of RTs and can't say that I blame you, but what about...

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

    Pmdc replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I agree that RTs need to be included. But the current legislative session has ended and this is at least a starting point. I think it is far from perfect, as RTs have been slighted and the amount of...

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

    Pmdc replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    What was meant to be a forum to provide support and information for those negatively affected by the recent legislative events in GA has been hijacked by an immature, nurse wannabee who appears to be...

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

    Pmdc replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with speaking up. But when you post some outlandish statements and present them as facts, only to have others post credible, independent sources that prove you to be...

    Pmdc replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Son, take your incoherent ramblings and move on. You asked for independent stats and Lunah gave 'em to you within minutes. Now try to be a real man and accept the consequences of your request for...
