  1. California Nurses Association and SEIU Neutrality Agreement ruled Illegal by the NLRB

    Sheri257 replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As was previously pointed out, if you disagree with their politics you can have your union dues donated to a charity of your choice. Failing to keep enough support in California? CNA just won a...

  2. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    Sheri257 replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Those are the stats for my school. I don't know if that figure applies statewide. The vast majority pass the exams for NP1 but the NP2 exam is the one everybody failed that I know of. The challenge...

    Sheri257 replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Uh ... ICU, Cardiac Cath Lab, Dialysis nurses, etc. aren't required to have advanced degrees. Yet I would never dismiss what they and other nurses do by stating it's not rocket

  4. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    Sheri257 replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I apologize if I hurt your feelings. That actually wasn't my intent. It just seems so obvious to me what the problem is here and perhaps I get too overzealous in my arguments. Then I read comments...

  5. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    Sheri257 replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Now this is where I think you're completely off base here. Basically, you're saying ... EC grads don't need these clinicals. They can do fine without them, even when they don't have any previous...

  6. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    Sheri257 replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Again, I think it's a little more complicated than that. Due to this discussion, I asked a couple of the experienced LVN's today what they thought about repeating some of the coursework they had...

  7. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    Sheri257 replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I also see your point here. But it's not like it's any big secret that this is what is required for an LVN to become an RN in California. If someone decides to become an LVN rather than go straight...

    Good point. My

  9. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    Sheri257 replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    EC made this argument at the time of the decision. It didn't fly. The shortage was already really bad when the board made their decision. And the waiting lists at all the nursing schools was already...

  10. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    Sheri257 replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There are five LVN's in my class. Two are fresh out of school and haven't spent one day in a hospital outside of school clinicals. The other three are experienced. Is school a waste of their time?...

  11. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    Sheri257 replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Actually there are lots of people who come from out of state who qualify for licensure here. Obviously most nursing schools around the country meet California's requirements, which pretty much match...

  12. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    Sheri257 replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That's an interesting point. I guess you'd have to do a thorough analysis of how much discretion the Illinois board has in making their own rules versus what rules are set by statute. I do remember...

  13. Should i mmove to California

    Sheri257 replied to tatty's topic in First Year After Licensure

    California = ratios. Typically no more than five patients. Maryland and Virginia = no ratios. Potentially unlimited numbers of patients. Something to

  14. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    Sheri257 replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It's been nearly two years since the board debated this issue and EC still hasn't made any changes so, I wouldn't count on it. Quite frankly, the clinical requirements are so detailed and involved...

  15. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    Sheri257 replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well, as I said before, that still wouldn't comply with board's publicly posted requirement on their website which states clinicals have to be conducted concurrently with theory. If you want to take...

  16. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    Sheri257 replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I see your point but, it's a lot more complicated than that. First, the law would have to be changed. And I'm not just talking about one law. There are multiple requirements set by statute that would...

  17. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    Sheri257 replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I guess people keep looking for some other way but, the bottom line is ... Deadline, deadline, deadline ... that's it. You either meet the cutoff date for enrollment or you don't (December 6, 2003)....

  18. Talked with California BON; something *can* be done

    Sheri257 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I thought about that too but, I'm not sure anything in writing that directly contradicts the board's published policy on their website would be "safe." That policy, BTW, was also discussed at length...

  19. Talked with California BON; something *can* be done

    Sheri257 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Uh ... no. I wasn't suggesting that. :chuckle I just thought you'd like to know what the board's published policy was before you went through alot of clinicals that still might not get you licensed...

  21. Talked with California BON; something *can* be done

    Sheri257 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm wondering who you spoke with at the board. I would be really careful before making any plans along these lines. Here's what the board says about the EC requirements:...

  22. Union Wins Decertification Election at Scripps, CNA Stays

    Sheri257 posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nurses at Scripps Encinitas voted this week to keep the California Nurses Association as their union representative. The opponents had tried to launch a decertification effort to eliminate CNA but,...

  23. CNA Question

    Sheri257 replied to Soon2BNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Whether you think CNA's should be considered nurses or not .... The sad fact is: RN's will continue to dump on CNA's in whatever fashion they see fit. And patient care will suffer as the CNA's...

  24. CNA Question

    Sheri257 replied to Soon2BNurse's topic in General Nursing

    That's ridiculous and you know it. I never said nor implied such a thing. For crying out loud. If you're going to criticize me, at least read the previous posts. I specifically stated that I think it...

  25. CNA Question

    Sheri257 replied to Soon2BNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. You have probably made the point better than I ever could. CNA's are expected to do a lot in the sense of letting the RN's know what's going on. If you don't know what to watch for or...
