  1. Got a call for interview, but had applied 8 months back

    CrusadersFan replied to PRETTYODD's topic in General Nursing

    One consideration is this--is this a job you really want to stay at and can you explain your short tenure with the Med-Surg job (i.e.--no opportunity for advancement, didn't meet my skills, etc.)? I...

  2. Am I Crazy Changing Career At 33

    CrusadersFan replied to toobig's topic in General Nursing

    Crazy? Not at all! I'm over 50 (I'll leave it at that) and am considering going back to EC after 20+ years in respiratory therapy because the healthcare field is often very nurse-oriented and the RN...

  3. The College Network and LPN-RN @ Indiana State

    CrusadersFan replied to Gamom2three's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There is an interesting article from 2005 that the Indiana State Licensing Board put out concerning publishing companies of which TCN is one (ironically, it is based in Indianapolis). It can be found...

  4. Online Lecture/Onsite Clinicals

    CrusadersFan posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have been toying with entering the Excelsior College RT-to-RN program. However, my wife, who is an RN, suggested that I might see if a program exists that allows online learning of lecture material...

  5. Online Lecture/Onsite Clinicals

    CrusadersFan replied to CrusadersFan's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks, queenjean and Suesquatch! I will likely go with EC since everything I have read on this board appears to indicate that if they are not accepted by a state, it seems likely any alternative...

  6. Excelsior and License Endorsement?

    CrusadersFan replied to kat7ap's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You didn't make me feel "dumb", lholland, I can do that on my own without

  7. Excelsior and License Endorsement?

    CrusadersFan replied to kat7ap's topic in Online Distance Learning

    My mistake--I'm sorry (and embarrassed) I know that there was a petition being circulated because MO was considering not allowing EC. I had thought that with the petition they had stopped it. You...

  8. Excelsior and License Endorsement?

    CrusadersFan replied to kat7ap's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Good question, Kat7Ap! I had posted a somewhat similar question today since my wife and I want to join travelling nurses after our children are out of the house and I'm concerned about my taking EC...

  9. The College Network-collecting sales tax

    CrusadersFan replied to CSLee3's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Legal or not, I find the practice of asking consumers to help bail you out of your own errors appalling ($700 million bail-out anyone?). Most people have paid large amounts of money to TCN and...

  10. RN Needed for Nursing Informatics?

    CrusadersFan posted a topic in Nursing Informatics

    I am an RRT who has worked in Informatics for over ten years. During that time I've accumulated a wealth of knowledge about computer systems, programming, project management and implementation....

  11. RN Needed for Nursing Informatics?

    CrusadersFan replied to CrusadersFan's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Thank you for the reply, RNInformatics. The largest hospital system in my home state, approximately 4,000 beds total, will not take any application for Informatics unless the individual is a licensed...

  12. Excelsior CPCE

    CrusadersFan posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have a concern with the EC CPCE exam. I'm an RT that has been working in the Informatics for the past 10 years. As a result, I've been out of patient care for that period of time. I've been...

  13. Excelsior CPCE

    CrusadersFan replied to CrusadersFan's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thank you, Its So Hot in Phoenix and BetterME29! It's good to know I don't have to work another job P/T! :) I have yet to enroll in EC and met with TCN but after reading posts here will probably do...
