  1. California BORN Prevails In Excelsior College Lawsuit

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in Online Distance Learning

    When did I say there was any shame in being an LPN student? I didn't. I merely corrected the assumption that I was one ... If there is some other option to be licensed, why doesn't Excelsior announce...

  2. California BORN Prevails In Excelsior College Lawsuit

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Huh? I've been accused of being an ex-EC student, but I've never been accused of being an LPN student. Neither is true ... btw. I'm in an RN program and have never been in any other program. That...

  3. California BORN Prevails In Excelsior College Lawsuit

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you didn't make the December 6, 2003 cutoff date, and there's even a remote possibility that you might want to practice in California in your lifetime then, you should go the traditional route. I...

  4. California BORN Prevails In Excelsior College Lawsuit

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Finding this hard to believe? It's all there in writing on the board's website. The language is very clear on this point. Did you read the press release and court decision? The board has gone through...

  5. Some thoughts on age, personality, and interviews

    Sheri257 replied to ICUDOUCME?'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That's a great story. I think it's generally true that when you make other plans ... and don't care quite as much anymore because you've moved on ... people do respond to it. Congratulations.

  6. Some thoughts on age, personality, and interviews

    Sheri257 replied to ICUDOUCME?'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That's what I was thinking. When you look at the acceptance rates on a lot of these programs, the odds are really against you going in ... like only 10-15 percent of qualified candidates are accepted...

  7. California BORN Prevails In Excelsior College Lawsuit

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't understand where EC is getting this ... the requirement for transcripts is listed right here on the CA endorsement application. http://www.rn.ca.gov/lic/pdf/end_app_2003.pdf Anyway ... I...

  8. California BORN Prevails In Excelsior College Lawsuit

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I realize that people are looking for some other way but, it may not be useful to get people's hopes up on this one ... Since people keep talking about these 360 clinical hours, I decided to call the...

  9. California BORN Prevails In Excelsior College Lawsuit

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Actually, the language in that press release could be somewhat misleading. If you read the board's original announcement and, also the court decision, it states: "This eligibility requirement applies...

  10. California BORN Prevails In Excelsior College Lawsuit

    Sheri257 replied to Sheri257's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Not really ... It's just that people were speculating on other threads that the California board might change their mind, so I checked the board website. Looks like the appellate court decision came...

  11. Excelsior College Questions

    Sheri257 replied to jab3da's topic in Online Distance Learning

    They did. All I can say is the board makes my school jump through a bunch of hoops to meet the concurrent theory with clinical requirement. We're in a situation where there's not enough clinical...

  12. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    Sheri257 replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    OMG! The sky is

  13. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    Sheri257 replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It paid for the ratio law, which benefits all RN's and patients in California.

  14. Excelsior College Questions

    Sheri257 replied to jab3da's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I didn't. I was just making a joke that sometimes you guys read more into my posts than is actually there. The Florida BON website says what it says. At least I posted a link to the relevant info....

  15. Excelsior College Questions

    Sheri257 replied to jab3da's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Oh come on ... The same info has been posted on this board numerous times not just by other posters but, also, the istudysmart.com website ... http://www.istudysmart.com/content.asp?cid=70 I guess...

  16. Excelsior College Questions

    Sheri257 replied to jab3da's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This link from the Florida BON website doesn't mention reciprocity ... http://www.doh.state.fl.us/mqa/nursing/nur_faq.html Q: Can I apply for a nursing license in Florida if I graduated from Regents...

  17. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    Sheri257 replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nurses strike for better pay all the time ... whether they are union or non-union. They just don't always do it in an organized fashion. At last count there were 350,000 RN's nationwide who weren't...

  18. Getting hit!

    Sheri257 replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    That is ridiculous ... I have never been more upset then when I was hit, kicked and spit on by a patient. You're right ... people really don't understand how horrible it is until it happens to them....

  19. Raids on members causing high fever in nurse unions

    Sheri257 replied to Brian's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Generally, I would agree with you but ...that's not always true. Not all union facility situations are created equal either. Sometimes it has more to do with how LONG the union has been in the...

  20. Arizona, California, Texas?

    Sheri257 replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Maybe I am an exception but we spent a lot of time researching local housing markets for two years before we bought. Our goal was to buy in a cheap area that was within commuting distance to lots of...

  21. Arizona, California, Texas?

    Sheri257 replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not suggesting that anybody pay $500,000 for a house in San Diego or anywhere else for that matter. What I am suggesting is ... you may have noticed that California is a very big state. If you...

  22. Arizona, California, Texas?

    Sheri257 replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Speaking of disposable income ... I guess you weren't paying attention to the cost of living calculator ... and the fact that there are cheaper areas in California. Or the significant difference in RN...

  23. Arizona, California, Texas?

    Sheri257 replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have $150,000 equity in my house, and I only paid $150,000 for it. How is that "house poor?" If anything, I'm house rich. You can't make broad statements that everybody in California is hurting in...

  24. Arizona, California, Texas?

    Sheri257 replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    What outflux of high paying jobs? California workers make, on average, $8,000 a year more than Arizona workers. If there's an outflux of high paying jobs ... it's in Arizona. And the softening of real...

  25. Arizona, California, Texas?

    Sheri257 replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If so many people are leaving the state ... who's buying 1200 square foot homes for $400,000? If so many people were leaving in the last five years ... real estate would have gone down in California...
