Am I the only one that has noticed that the two hospitals that are still doing preceptorships for the open public are over crowed? Medical Center of Central Georgia, and Memorial University Medical Center in Savannah, both have waiting list until Mar...

tokmom, I graduated from Excelsior ASN program in 2010. There were a lot of "unexpected problems"(obtaining initial licensure) there :-( ( I am half way done with my BSN thru "Chamberlain"). Chamberlain online is "much" better, and "quicker" than Ex...

I called Excelsior State Board Department to see if they could suggest any hospitals so I could complete my preceptorship hours. And, I was told that I can't help you! Your a graduate, and so your on your on to find your preceptorship hospital. We ca...

SJ Cory, Your in for a very long wait! They (GBON) had a meeting for the past three days. One would think these meetings would produce better fruit! Did you graduate for Excelsior? If so, you will need to do a preceptor-ship more than likely..One of ...

This fee was for a preceptorship for New Grads. This was not the cost for a refresher course. I wanted the correct information posted here as I am the original poster, and this is the fee they quoted me for a 320 hour preceptor-ship. Definitely not w...

ukstudent, Thank you for your post. However, let me restate one of my previous post on another thread. I took my clinicals at Southern Regional in Riverdale, Ga. Mind you, this hospital is said to be the toughest to complete successfully during CPNE....

Well, so much for letting the Professionals handle it! They were a complete waste of my time! Of course , they only had Excelsior's best interest in mind, not mine! So, to anyone else in this situation, hire your own attorney if you can afford to bec...

elkpark, The State Board determines what the requirements are for a school to be acceptable education in their state, or they won't issue you a license. It really isn't the accrediting board..Moreover, how can the same board issue a license to RT, EM...

Put the Saunders down. (Although it's good in it's own right). Purchase Sylvia Rayfield's online review and her review, and pharmacology books, as well as Ready to Pass review book and, Sally Lagerquist DVD review. These will serve you well, or at le...

happydrunkcat, and joy1 True. Thanks for pointing that out. That was an invaluable service as well as calling the ECE staff every chance I was allowed with my questions.. But, word to the wise, if you call them with a question then they know what you...

SegaGN, I have called the Georgia Board of Nursing so much that they have a special ring tone for my call...LOL..Perhaps, that is why they never call back!!!! But, now they are dealing with the attorney's office.. But, even that doesn't seem to be th...

Hello, This is just a follow up. I turned my case over to the attorneys office about two months ago, and no word yet! I have been waiting patiently, but the waiting is driving me up the wall. What is taking the GBON so long to respond to their letter...

Oh, there were some corrections made to Rob's videos, but he mentions those as well. He will send you all the corrections.. The mnemonics are still essential to your passing, or at least it was for me.. He makes it easy to remember all of the critica...

I did Sheri's live review, and her online review. I must say Sheri is the Careplan Queen IMO! She knows her stuff when it comes to careplans, and preparation for cpne. I absolutely loved her online and recommend it without hesistation!! If you want t...

nola1202, I am sorry to hear of your troubles at work, but it does seem to go a lot deeper than that! I am not judging you, but I only would like to help. As I read your post, I could just hear your cry! You are a depressed person that may need to be...

I have been trying to decide between these two colleges, and I am still uncertain in which way to go! Please help. I am a RN already, and I have an Associate of Science. I would like to get my BSN as quick as possible, and then perhaps my MSN..Thanks...

LunahRN, After much debate and research, I think that is what I will do. Mean while, let the attorney fight it out with the GBON. I spoke with his paralegal today and she was amazing! I just wanted so badly to work in my home state, but I have gotten...
