What happens when a facility recieves a IJ tag? I heard that all the nurses licenses are in jeopardy...is that true? What if you never even met that resident, but you work at the facility....can your license be in jeopardy if you weren't even at the ...

I've been an LPN for almost 5 years now and I have looked at the ISU and Excelsior programs many times. I received my LPN diploma from a school that is nationally accredited, meaning my credits will not transfer to regionally accredited schools such...

Well from what I hear the tag was lifted, apparently they found the charting that they said wasn't there and everything is good again. I wish we had computer charting, it would make life so much easier!

immediate jeopardy

I thought Penn Foster wouldn't let you take a one credit course anymore.....

Cheltoe~when did you ask Penn Foster about this? Over the summer I tried to sign up for just the Info Lit and was told by a Penn Foster rep that I had to be enrolled in at least 3 credits

Ok guys, need some advice here. My job offers tuition reimbursement & a scholarship! But here's my question....since it's not a traditional school how the heck do I apply correctly? My tuition reimbursement states that I need -course title &am...

They do NOT:no: finance Excelsior's fee's. In fact on top of what you pay them for study guides, you have to buy actual books to go with their study guides, pay for EC's exams, application fee & enrollment & yearly fee's! Rue is VERY mislea...

Honetly I :heartbeat EC!! I get "clinical" experience everyday I work. Seems pointless to do for free what I get paid to do already!

I am in the same boat as you!! I too tried ITT but the education was not worth they charged, so after 2 semesters & feeling like I wasn't learning anything I decided to go a cheaper & more practical route & joined EC. I too would like t...

I called Penn Foster a few months ago and they said you could not take just 1 credit...it had to be at least 3

Good job Girl:yeah: You are flying through these classes at lightning speed!! I still can't get off the ground...but there has been a lot of unexpected things happening, but now the surgery is over and the results were good...I can finally breathe ...

Reading these freaks me out for the CPNE....I would hate to go that far, pay all that money & fail:crying2: Did you take a CPNE workshop? Just curious......& good luck on your next CPNE, I hope you pass with flying colors:D

I have been looking into it as well...haven't signed up yet as I am trying to get through A&P first....but it looks helpful

Congrats!!!! How bad was it? Any pointers on what I should be concentrating the most on?

Good Choice! I tried their RN program, even though I've been an LPN for 3 years they had no transfer program:mad: Besides that what they charged was insane!! I spent 9 months in the program and felt it was a very low quality education for the pric...

Who cares what anyone else says? At the end of the day it's your money, your education & your life....the ONLY person you need to satisfy is yourself. If I were you I would tell the other nurses that all though their comments are appreciated th...

on another note...my company has hired MANY nurses who have gone through a traditional nursing program & although they may know nursing on paper in a reality they knew nothing! A's on paper look good but if you can't apply it to real life it's n...

ISU offers an LPN-BSN bridge program online, there are several threads about it on here or you can visit ISU's website

I try to study around 2 hours a day...mon-thurs, fri more like an hour & sat & sun I really can't fit it in after 16 hours of work eachday because once I get home I can't see straight:lol2: There is so much info in the A&P that I truly h...

Lucky you, sounds like the rep that came to your house was much more honest than the one they sent to mine! Glad it's working out for since it is a costly route! Good luck!:)

you can split that payment up into $150.00 per month for 6 months....I did. They just took it out of my account on the 5th of every month

TCN came to my school as well the same month I was graduating my LPN...so like previous posts I fell for it believing that they were actually "partnered" with EC like they claimed. At that time I knew nothing about distance learning, EC, or this web...

I'm picking up extra hours at work when I need money for books, tests, etc. I have enough student loans from my first 2 degree's to equal a small mortgage:eek: That is one thing that I love about EC....I can pay as I go and it doesn't cost me even ...

gonna be watching this thread....I'd like to know what fcaa is as well!
