  1. Dear New Doctor

    EquuszARNP replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    Very good, Snoopy! You should post this on the Student Doctor forum, too!

  2. Prospective male nurse with a lot of questions.

    EquuszARNP replied to DirtyBlackSocks's topic in Male Nursing Students

    However, Nurse Practitioners are more autonomous than PA's. At least in the western states, they don't need physician oversight to open their own practice or prescribe meds within their speciality. I...

  3. is it possible?

    EquuszARNP replied to edenprairie12's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How interesting that US Educated diploma RN's are the ones with the highest first-time pass

  4. I"M SOOOOO TIRED OF NURSE RECRUITERS! (Rant)

    EquuszARNP replied to StayLost's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What "boards" are you all checking for jobs listings?

  5. Warning - excelsior students

    EquuszARNP replied to robertjankowski's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It varies. At my CPNE this month in Albany, 5 out of the 6 of us passed. I also wouldn't have passed if it weren't for Tina's workshop in San Jose.

  6. Can I Just Mention...

    EquuszARNP posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    That it's "mnemonics". M-N-E-M-O-N-I-C-S. Not mneumonics, not pneumonics (what are we pumping up tires here?). Mnemonics. Pronounced "neh-moniks". Sorry, but my eyes keep twitching every time I see...

  7. Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing-FNP Program

    EquuszARNP replied to ms_sheesh's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The pelvic exams are only for the midwifery program, not the FNP. And yes, they can opt out. I talked to them on the phone and they were very responsive. While they won't say that they accept everyone...

  8. No Peds CPNE sites

    EquuszARNP replied to TiffanyRN!!'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    So does that mean you plan to have a career where you never have to work with children? I mean, I'm sympathetic to your emotions, but if you're worried about your actions being fogged because of them...

  9. Passed CPNE in Albany (AMC) 1/17, No Retakes!

    EquuszARNP replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The first day (Friday) is an evening session from 16:30 until about 19:30. It consists of the orientation to the CPNE, some paperwork, assignment of your PCS rotation schedule, and then your first...

  10. COLLEGE NETWORK

    EquuszARNP replied to camib11's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've never understood why people use a 3rd party like TCN to navigate through Excelsior's program. Even Excelsior warns that it can be a bad idea. I certainly found EC's own resources adequate for...

  11. Passed CPNE in Albany (AMC) 1/17, No Retakes!

    EquuszARNP replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks Erin. I sent that wound to you yesterday so you should have it by early next week. Good

  12. Oh poo...

    EquuszARNP replied to erlissy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Glad to hear it increased rather than decreased! That could get ugly. Good luck!

  13. Irrigating a catheter or NG tube

    EquuszARNP replied to NurseSunshine25's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah I've never talked to anyone who got this on their CPNE, at least not in the past few

  14. Online NP

    EquuszARNP replied to truffles111's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Gonzaga and Saint Louis University both say they'll admit a nurse "conditionally" while they're gaining their first year of experience. They're required to work as a nurse during this

  15. Need Excelsior CPNE Advice Please!!!

    EquuszARNP replied to JAndrew's topic in Excelsior College

    Lisa: Sorry to hear about your fail at AMC. I just took it there and passed and found it to be a great site, so my first recommendation would be to take it again at AMC. You're already familiar with...

  16. HDLS 2

    EquuszARNP replied to crazywoman's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I bought them and looked them over once. They were OK, but atrocious spelling and formatting in some of them. Kinda distracting. I also bought Lisa Arend's and spent much more time on those. In fact,...

  17. No Peds CPNE sites

    EquuszARNP replied to TiffanyRN!!'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    I may be wrong, but I don't think there's any that "do not have peds patients". Any hospital like that wouldn't conform to EC's requirements and wouldn't be accepted as a testing site. There are...

  18. Passed CPNE in Albany (AMC) 1/17, No Retakes!

    EquuszARNP replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yep, big Peds department. Almost no chance you'd have a peds substitute. Plenty of kids

  19. Passed CPNE in Albany (AMC) 1/17, No Retakes!

    EquuszARNP replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    angel: walang anuman. (yes i can speak

    EquuszARNP replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for all the kind words, folks! Appreciate the

  21. RN-BSN Program

    EquuszARNP replied to diaz050305's topic in Online Distance Learning

    They don't get to do that. NLN-accredited is NLN-accredited. I've checked several FNP programs and none of them had a problem with the BSN from Excelsior meeting the pre-reqs. Now, whether your...

  22. Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing-FNP Program

    EquuszARNP replied to ms_sheesh's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm also thinking of applying to the ADN-MSN bridge. I hope to be licensed in March and apply to the April bridge deadline. Do any of you think that they would accept 18 years paramedic experience as...

  23. Applying to the Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing?

    EquuszARNP replied to connieindc's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Do any of you know any guys that have been accepted to this program? Their ADN-FNP track looks fantastic; I've emailed them to find out if my eighteen years experience as paramedic will suffice in...

  24. Online Prerequisite Course Offerings

    EquuszARNP replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I guess there's already a big sticky elsewhere. Didn't see it. Oh well, just adding to the list then.

  25. Excelsior Gen Ed question

    EquuszARNP replied to HelloKittyLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    By the way, the course is completely lame. I told Excelsior at the end-of-class survey that it was a complete waste of my time. Any child over 6 knows how to Google and use a library these
