  1. I start my 1st Chamberlain on line class jan 4 for my BSN

    EquuszARNP replied to lorie101's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Statistics is more about logic than math. I really struggle with math, but didn't have any trouble with Stats.

  2. Why do I feel like a COMPLETE FAILURE???

    EquuszARNP replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    And remember, your ability to take a test really has little to do with your eventual capabilities as a nurse. So don't let test anxiety make you doubt that you'll be a great nurse in the end.

  3. Is Excelsior College Aproved by Cali4nia?

    EquuszARNP replied to Prado's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I know two Excelsior RN's who got licensed in CA by working for the VA there under a Nevada license. You just have to apply after having experience and see what they say. As to your second question:...

  4. How Do You Promote Yourself as an Almost-Grad?

    EquuszARNP posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hiyas: CPNE's less than a month away. Several places I'm looking at applying have instructions for new grads to apply 6-8 weeks before graduation. Groovy, they're considering new grads. Except, I...

  5. How Do You Promote Yourself as an Almost-Grad?

    EquuszARNP replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks. Yes I plan to do this once I have license in hand, however, this hospital seems to be rigid in the online system. The nurse recruiter did, however, take my qualifications to each of the...

  6. Online Biochemistry Course with Lab

    EquuszARNP replied to 777RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    University of New England, Eastern Oregon University, Oregon State, and UC Berkeley have online Biochem. Several in Florida. Check them out to see if they offer labs. There's a huge thread regarding...

  7. How Do You Promote Yourself as an Almost-Grad?

    EquuszARNP replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for your help. Sorry about the other thread, it got closed because I had to defend myself against someone who blindsided me with some bizarre accusations. I'm assuming by "Junior level of...

  8. Got My First Job Refusal Due to Being EC Student

    EquuszARNP posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well, I applied to a major hospital in the northwest, as they say for students to apply 6-8 weeks prior to graduation. The CCU nursing internship position requirements are: NEW GRADS. New Grads with...

  9. Got My First Job Refusal Due to Being EC Student

    EquuszARNP replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, it's my thread, or if you prefer, my topic. I started it. I don't "blame" EC for anything. I am a perfectly content EC student. I posted a fact about what happened to me today for informational...

  10. Got My First Job Refusal Due to Being EC Student

    EquuszARNP replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    To answer your first question that you edited out, the hospital says for new grads to apply 6-8 weeks before graduation. I don't think this is a new concept. Now would you care to explain to the...

  11. Got My First Job Refusal Due to Being EC Student

    EquuszARNP replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think there are, and there may very well be other ways in the door to this hospital as well (regular floor nurse, etc). They're huge. I'm still waiting for feedback from the various department...

  12. Got My First Job Refusal Due to Being EC Student

    EquuszARNP replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    EC is Excelsior College. I did apply and let them know, and they won't consider it. Oh well, there's other jobs. It's all very premature anyway, I still have to take the

  13. Got My First Job Refusal Due to Being EC Student

    EquuszARNP replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Did I say that? :anbd:Please don't presume to put words in my mouth. My post is very specific as to what the problem is. No clinicals means no consideration for this position. You should neither...

  14. Got My First Job Refusal Due to Being EC Student

    EquuszARNP replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Not quite the same. Because they're saying that they'll consider a new-grad without clinicals who was once a unit clerk, but not one without clinicals that spent years as a

  15. How Do You Promote Yourself as an Almost-Grad?

    EquuszARNP replied to EquuszARNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    thanks! let's hope the recruiters agree! i learned tagalog by living in the philippines for four years (my high school years) while my parents were working there. i tend to have a knack for languages....

  16. Looking For a Weird Kinda Schedule

    EquuszARNP posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hiyas: OK, I'm still a student, don't eat me. But I'm expecting to be a licensed RN by March and I'm trying to do some forward research about the kind of job schedule I'm going to be shooting for the...

  17. Looking For a Weird Kinda Schedule

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

    I thought about agencies, but it looks like none of them will take a new

  18. Respiratory Management and Splinting in the CPNE

    EquuszARNP posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hiyas: I'm taking my CPNE next month and was wondering about pillow splinting during respiratory management. The study guide says "Splinting can be provided by using a pillow or bath blanket or by...

  19. Warning - excelsior students

    EquuszARNP replied to robertjankowski's topic in Online Distance Learning

    oh, lordy! that was some beautiful reading, tammy. awesome! i didn't know that about the brn all losing their heads - poetic justice i say. btw, what's a police nurse? that sounds like something i'd...

  20. Warning - excelsior students

    EquuszARNP replied to robertjankowski's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I believe THAT is the single biggest reason why there is such a high failure rate on the CPNE (and by the way, OP has it wrong - the majority of students DO PASS - the pass rate is 60+%). It's not...

  21. is "beating around the bush" common in nursing?

    EquuszARNP replied to shrimpchips's topic in General Nursing

    Every field has its providers that cut corners to the patient's detriment. You have to find your own way to deal with this. In my opinion, your clinicals and/or exam are not the time to be debating...

  22. Did any excelsior grads have a hard time finding a job in texas?

    EquuszARNP replied to simplyme09's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Where in this country are nurses having a hard time finding jobs? It certainly isn't the case in the Pacific Northwest. As far as I can tell, the nursing shortage is still in full swing and all...

  23. Freaking out! Exposed to HIV

    EquuszARNP replied to GoECU's topic in General Nursing

    Sue's right. Yeah you should take the retros just to be sure, but it's astronomical odds that a small splash to your lips would cause you to seroconvert. The latest studies in HIV transmission to...

  24. Anyone use the Lisa Arends study guides for EC?

    EquuszARNP replied to dslpninla's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just read the bulletin points and flashcards she has in there, but I did this AFTER I did all the required reading once through the

  25. Anyone use the Lisa Arends study guides for EC?

    EquuszARNP replied to dslpninla's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Her spelling and formatting are horrifying in some places; downright distracting with poor grammar and punctuation rampant. However, the CONTENT was spot on, so I have to recommend them. I passed the...
