HI, When I researched Excelsior, I asked them about clinicals. The rep told me I could certinly set up clinicals, but of course, the liabilty as a student would be all my own. The DON at that time,...
I did have a chance to speak with the DON here at the hospital and she said they have sponsored DCN students here before! Clinicals shouldn't be a problem, she thought, unless requirements have...
OMG! This sounds so familiar! I transported a patient last year who was term, but carrying a baby that also had fatal abnormalities. She elected to carry the baby to term instead of termination,...
This is an interesting thread! I was just wondering this same thing yesterday. Until I had children, I was very much pro-choice, and still am to some degree. However, now that I'm a mother, who has...
I would be grateful to know of any scholarships or grants you all have received for Deaconess, or any nursing program for that matter. I've been researching on the internet FOR DAYS, and don't seem...

Thanks! I do have a great time at work and we all get along great! I think for the most part we all know whats expected of us! When I'm the RN, I hope it's still as easy as it is now to work along...

I currently have a student loan ( federal), for about $10,000. As in my other post, I'm looking into Deaconess for my LPN/RN. However, due to a serious injury my husband had 2 years ago, we had to...
I looked into Excelsior, but the CPNE scares the pants off of me and we don't have a Sylvan center anywhere near where I am for the frequent testing that is required. I like the idea of clinicals and...
