DaveAlphaRN, Congratulations!

I just got my RN and now I'm looking at RN-BSN options. I really liked the RN program at EC, but I've noticed that many of EC students went elsewhere for BSN. What is the main reason for doing that? I'd really appreciate if you share your thoughts a...

Congratulations! The hard work and sacrifices have paid off.

No she is not as far as I know.

I took Sherri Taylor's workshop in Atlanta in December 2009. Passed my CPNE Jan. 11 2010 :) Sherri is an awesome person with great personality, and she is a fantastic teacher! She is the queen of careplans. I was terrible at first, but she broke the...

EC does not require filming anymore. At least, it was not required for Teaching class. I think they removed it from Health Assessment class as well (You can always call them and ask). Classes are challenging. BSN program is much harder than ASN (well...

Congratulations! Utica is a very beautiful city. Great CPNE site. Passed there in Jan 2010.

New grad RN starts at about $22/hr. LPN - not sure, I think about $17/hr. There almost no jobs at the hospitals for LPN. Only long-term facilities and rehabs. I know Baptist were hiring a couple of years ago, but, again, not regular bedside nursing. ...

Joy, just a little note - you know that you can send your careplans to EC to be checked, they'll do it for free? The information should be in the study guide :)

:yeah:Feels good, right? Congrats!

+1 to Sheri's workshop. I did attend a live workshop, but it was a lot of information to digest :) Her video materials were at the trial stage at the time, some of those videos were typed during the workshop I attended. She gave us a free access and ...

Moomoo - I just saw your post in another thread. Please, do not sign with College Network! You can cancel the contract within 3 days if you just signed it. You can go directly to Excelsior, you do not need College Network for that. There is no wait...

moomoo111 - can you clarify some moments, please? first - " I will reach my goal and both The College Network and Excelsior have gone the extra mile to assist me." + "It's half the wait and money for me and you are allowed to work at your own pace" ...

Well, it's not too bad. Yes, it will take me 2 years, but I was taking a lot of "time off". I did not have any classes from middle of April till September. I did not combined Writing class with anything else. Now I'm taking Research and again, nothin...

I am currently enrolled into EC RN-BSN program. I love it :) And the best thing is that they are removing video requirements (starting January 2012). Previously they had two classes that students had to do the video part for - Health Assessment and T...

Erika, I haven't finished yet. I'm now in "taking my time" mode :)) I enrolled in May of 2010, now I'm done with Statistics, Patho, Community-focused nursing, Management (I passed exams for those courses), Physical Assessment, Proff. Socialization, a...

Congrats and Good Luck!

sshcnurse - I'd just call EC on Monday morning. They were always very helpful with all the questions I had for them. They might have to look at your transcripts before they can tell anything specific. Good luck! And no, you do not have to have any m...

Hi everyone! To graduate I still need to complete my English Composition requirements. I need 3 credits. So, I was thinking about taking Uexcel English Writing. It costs only $85 and I need to write 2 essays in 2 hours. Scored immediately. So far sou...

Ok. One more time. In plain English. CN IS NOT A SCHOOL. It does not grant you a degree. It will give you study guides. And you will pay what is it now? $5000? You can collect a pretty good library for this money. Plus, you still have to pay the tuit...

How was the interview? Unfortunately, I do not have any suggestions, since I failed my phone interview :) I got another one in a week and had an offer a day later :) Good luck!

I passed in Utica a little more than a year ago. Loved the place. Everybody were so friendly! The pediatric floor is kind of small, but it was full when I was there, so everybody got kids as patients. I failed my first patient - a small girl, about 1...

Passed in Utica a year ago. Had a wonderful experience! Beautiful city, nice small hospital, great people. Loved it :)

I test out for Management and Community-Focused Nursing. Plus, I had some gen. Eds to do, so I took tests for Statistics and Pathophysiology. Now I'm taking English class. I took Prof. Socialization together with HA. Well, if I had to do it over aga...

Melody, Congratulations! (Yes, I'm jealous, I have 3 classes left). How did you do the Research? I'm debating if I should take a class or a test? JDavis2009 - Please, stop pushing College Network. They might be helpful getting your ADN (which is st...
