  1. CPNE SITES

    PiedPiperRN replied to lsilva7's topic in Excelsior College

    I was told by an Excelsior worker that New York is the quickest, probably because that's where Excelsior is. I tested at Albany Medical and felt very strongly that they were "rooting" for me. I...

  2. Getting Discouraged about ASN Programs!!

    PiedPiperRN replied to whitneyLOL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have 1/2 of your ASN program done (half of your nursing classes done, not just prereqs) then you can finish with Excelsior. This is an online program. They do not have a waiting list, they can...

  4. Most ridiculous patient requests?

    PiedPiperRN replied to AOx1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This senario is annoying, but I have had just as much problems with English speaking patients as well. Not quite sure why language comes up

    as a cna, i was called into a room. the lady requested that i walk her into the bathroom, remove her pants and undergarments, help her onto the toilet, stay with her while she “went”, wipe her...

  6. Will Excelsior credits transfer?

    PiedPiperRN replied to petray's topic in Online Distance Learning

    From what I have seen, most RN-BSN will only "accept" a RN licence, which includes your nursing classes. From what I am seeing, they often don't care how you got it, as long as the school you got it...

  8. CPNE WAIT

    PiedPiperRN replied to 2brn09's topic in Excelsior College

    OOO, that makes me so mad! When I applied for the CPNE, they told me NOT to call! I have met so many people that got a quicker date by calling. I am SO glad to hear that you had a good experience at...

  9. EC-Life Span One

    PiedPiperRN replied to mystic2fire's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hey a tip with Pearson-- if there isn't an open date, keep checking back. Peopel often cancel, and dates open up. Sometimes they are only open for an hour. I had to take an exam and couldn't get...

  10. Is it possible to fulfill these prereqs entirely online?

    PiedPiperRN replied to pitterpattershoppe's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think that all of these are offered online through Western Iowa Technical Community

  11. Legislation for Virginia EC Students

    PiedPiperRN replied to Lunah's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thank you for posting this!! Just a reminder that it is vital that we check spelling and grammar when posting if EC is to be taken seriously as an academic program. :) I saw a few typing mistakes in...

  15. Quickest RN-to-BSN (Second Degree)

    PiedPiperRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    We've talked about the cheapest RN-to-BSN, now how about the quickest? I would love to hear about the different online programs that people took and how long it took to complete them. I have a BA in...

  16. Quickest RN-to-BSN (Second Degree)

    PiedPiperRN replied to PiedPiperRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    For me, it is because a lot of the skills that are taught in a BSN program do not fit with my goals, but my goals require a BSN. Plus there are things that I want to do before I hit menopause, and...

  19. Excelsior College Help

    PiedPiperRN replied to deb11's topic in Online Distance Learning

  20. EC FCCA

    PiedPiperRN replied to LaMorLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I guess that they have been threatening to move this from paper to computer (at a Pearson testing center, you have to go three times) for quite some time. Everyone rushes to get the FCCA done as it is...

  21. CPNE wound; Any advice on how to make my own.

    PiedPiperRN replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I made mine out of tinfoil, but I wouldn't recommend this method. Scrunch up a ball, then then tape it into a box with a hole cut out on the top, then put a piece of paper on top to act as the...

  22. EC FCCA

    PiedPiperRN replied to LaMorLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The best and only advice that I can give is that you call the number on the front of the packet if anything is at all unclear. They will try to help you, they may not be able to answer a question (as...

    PiedPiperRN replied to anticoagulationurse's topic in Online Distance Learning
