  1. What is CPNE????????????????

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to Tweety's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Beautifully described. If I may add a few small details. Each of the (minimum of three) patients you care for in the CPNE has four or five must-do tasks and five or six that will be assigned. Each...

  2. Need some help about online RN

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to akcarmean's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi, Angelia!!! First off, you want to avoid publishing companies that try to look like schools. Either they are selling an unneeded liaison service with a school (often Excelsior College) or you...

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to masai39's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I have my notes but I just keep them because I don't seem to ever get rid of anything. About writing nursing diagnoses, interventions and expected outcomes, what I used to do was think of what I would...

  5. NC1 Info needed

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to linda111's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sorry I didn't pick up on this before. You can always email or PM me (email preferred) if something I post isn't linking up right. Sometimes I just put the link in wrong or something. Try these,...

  6. NC1 Info needed

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to linda111's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You already learned an important lesson, to say away from the Academy of Nursing. (I got my money back, threatened to rat them out to the Utah Dept of Ed and the NLN, based on false advertising.) If...

  7. yellow fever vaccine

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to HarryPotter's topic in General Nursing

    Got them regularly when I lived in southeast Asia. Didn't bother me, and I was a big time wuss. You shouldn't have a problem--but everybody is different. Did you check it out on...

  8. Question RE: Excelsior NC Exams

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to JaneMarieP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Actually, I've gotten an awful lot of sincere support and genuine friendship from spazzy_nurse and lgflamini. Those two probably more than anyone else gave me the encouragement and direction I needed...

  9. Interview

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to elyshatashae's topic in Cardiac

    Hi, there...... Well, I'm an RN and I'll be working telemetry when I finish my internship, but I'll bet you want to talk with someone who has been working as an RN for a little while. So, I have...

  10. Cross-State NCLEX and Licensure

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to Pachinko's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Contact the California BON and speak directly with someone. You aren't going to find what you need on an FAQ--you want to specifically know if California will accept your degree and your program. The...

  11. Question RE: Excelsior NC Exams

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to JaneMarieP's topic in Online Distance Learning

  13. Question RE: Excelsior NC Exams

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to JaneMarieP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Don't see that that is anybody's business, but since you opened the door. I had no problem getting A's on the exams because I worked like a dog to learn the material. Then I passed the NCLEX the...

  14. Need tips for NC2!!

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to kesneysmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've noticed that what I know, seems easy. What I do not know, or have not thoroughly learned, seems hard. My husband is an engineering genius, has been "into" electricity in a big and technical way...

  15. Need tips for NC2!!

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to kesneysmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No need to be sorry, we are just encouraging caution, that's all. The first time I found a "tips" file in one of the yahoo groups, I was eager to see it. Just like you, "tips" meant maybe terms,...

  16. Need tips for NC2!!

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to kesneysmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah, the word "tips" used to mean suggestions, ideas, encouragement, direction. Now it means "what's on the test." If you haven't already, you should join the yahoo group called nontradnurses. The...

  18. Life is futile, dead is dead, the other side

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    It is very hard to see someone we love cry. And harder still to let someone go that we love. Of course you feel better, Pam, that's not dumb at all. Medicine is wonderful if there is hope for a...

    Awwwww...... you make me blush!

  20. Newsflash

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    mona b, let me apologize, here, publicly. I did not mean to insult you. My intention was to point out what I thought was being overlooked: that if you want distance learning, then accept distance...

  22. Social Interaction Prevents (?) Dementia--people need people!

    chris_at_lucas_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Here's more evidence in support of social interaction (and other stuff) as a part of good mental hygiene..... from that august publication, Yahoo. (OK, that last part was part joke.) Work Demands...

  23. Newsflash

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    A word to the wise--there is a lot of variability between externships in different hospitals. In the one where I externed, I was just a well paid nurses' aide. I rarely got to practice any of the...

  24. Newsflash

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    But that's not the nature of nontraditional/distance learning! The idea is, here is what you need to know, go out and learn it, and come back when you are ready to show us what you know! The CPNE...
