   JaninAZ replied to Mandy79's topic in Online Learning

   Thank you for being open-minded, LunahRN. In the future, I will forego the phrase mickey mouse. Perhaps "questionable" would have been a more appropriate description? In any case, I hope 2011 is treating you well.

   "Do employers look down on it? Sure, if they take it at face value." You said it yourself. Look. No offense whatsoever. Personally, I won't have an issue with an Excelsior nurse taking care of me. I know the clinical exams are demanding. In fact, the...

   JaninAZ replied to Mandy79's topic in Online Learning

   The word is, DON'T DO IT." Nearly all employers frown heavily on Excelsior graduates and will NOT hire them. I know for a fact that certain states, including California, won't grant you a nursing license if you went through this mickey mouse program.

   Don't you just love these changes? It's all about money folks. By the way, the word is Pima Community College's nursing department staff are not particularly friendly nor do they necessarily care about the success of their nursing students. While I d...

14. Anyone hoping to start Kaplan San Diegos ADN (RN) Program in January 09?

    JaninAZ replied to Misti619's topic in General Students

    At this point it sounds like both of us just need to get an RN of some sort to start making decent money. Later on you can have the hospital pay for your online BSN courses, if you choose. You do know that many hospitals have such an education policy...

    JaninAZ replied to Misti619's topic in General Students

    Just on a personal note. Despite some short comings I will still be checking out Kaplan's marginally accredited ADN program in San Diego this month. However, I still didn't like the idea of everyone over there playing dumb when I called asked what th...
