Thank you

I'm moving to the Miami area and was wondering where you ended up taking a job? I am currently looking at Jackson Memorial, Regional Memorial, and Kendall. I am a trauma ICU nurse and so far this is what I have found. I am wondering what ratios and o...

I'm wondering how the trauma ICU work conditions are at Kendall, Jackson Memorial, Memorial Regional Hospitals? I currently work staff at an HCA hospital and I know Kendall is HCA, I was thinking that would make my first travel assignment easier sinc...

I am new to a trauma icu position and titrations seem second nature to the nurses in the unit I work with. My preceptor has been fantastic in making sure I have plenty of exposure to drips and titrations but I will admit I feel less than intuitive wh...

I am just hitting my third month in a trauma ICU. I was a tele nurse for 1 1/2yrs prior to that. I will say the learning curve is vertical! The good news is that I feel fairly confident in the care of my patients. The fresh traumas are reserved for t...

I finished my LPN to RN in April of this yr. It took less than a year and now I am starting my BSN.

I just finished my LPN to RN in April and I am starting my BSN this month. It was an excellent program, and positive experience. My advice is skip RUE, I studysmart and college network. CHAAA CHING!! They are only publishing companies and simply com...

I just finished my LPN to RN through excelsior in April, It took less than 1 yr and I am starting my BSN this month. I am an absolute excelsior advocate. Loved it..and going back! GOOD LUCK! You can do it, thousands have.

Yes myself and my friend both took the NCLEX in April 2011 and it worked for both of us.

My friend and I took our RN nclex yesterday (5/11/2011) and by time we got home from pearson vue and checked we got the good message and today we found out we both passed! I really thought I failed based on the questions I had but. It was right!

I actually graduate from excelsior in 2 days and I was hired at my first interview. I have 1.5 yrs experience in a LTC facility that is more like a sub-acute (pegs, trachs, ng tube, wounds, end of life, etc) The hiring nurse stated that she had sever...

PHCC was absolutely miserable for the LPN program. The instructors were so rude and demeaning to everyone! I just finished my RN with excelsior and have an RN job. Skip PHCC unless you have no other choice.

I'm using this book to study and I love the layout and the quality of the questions. I want my study guide to kick my butt not the NCLEX. I will say it was expensive but worth every penny.

You could post a question for EC grads from around the country to post where they got a job ( State and type of establishment). Everywhere I go EC grads are working here in FL and GA. EC is either the second or third largest RN college in the count...

something that helped me prepare for the tests was actually writing all 100 of the practice tests question and answer then writing the rationals both the rationals for the questions and the ones that were incorrect. i found that a lot of the wrong an...

[color=lime]have you considered a workshop? my friend just failed the cpne over her "vague" careplan. i test in january and had no idea where to start on the study material now i have a game plan and some (not much) confidence. good luck

youtube has a bunch of videos from students studying for the cpne, one was a grid

I just went to a workshop and they explained the grid. It takes some practice to get used to it but once yo do it may end up being a life saver when you are freaking out!

you really need to be comfortable working with patients and in the patients room. the cpne is not a clinical it's a test to determine if you are ready to work as an rn. how can you be if you are not actively doing what a nurse does? can you walk int...

Excelsior has been a wonderful option for me. I did not want to go back into the class room and waste time wiping butts for another year when I could be working and jamming out my RN while I did. They have been easy to work with and when you call exc...

Is everyone buying either Lisa Arends or study101 notes for each class? I really recommend them. We actually studied straight from the notes for maternal and transitions. They are both for sale on ebay cheap.

I just took the cpneworkshop.com workshop and I really feel like it gave me a good place to start in my studying for the cpne, I am also thankful for the detailed explanation of the paperwork and care plans required because my friend just failed the ...

they look great.
