  1. Are all Excelsior Grads "Super Smart" ?

    PiedPiperRN replied to dbarnes2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    As a new Excelsior Grad I think that I am super

  2. Past medical history - subjective or objective??

    PiedPiperRN replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You crack me up, since I know why you are asking this question... :) I have been told it is sujective, unless it is

  3. Stupid Question: LPN and IV Therapy

    PiedPiperRN replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    angel, i have to disagree with you there... i once did call ec with a question about scope of practice as it pertained to an assignment, and was told that ec does not confirm to any specific state's...

  4. Stupid Question: LPN and IV Therapy

    PiedPiperRN replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah, totally not a stupid question! I have always been tripped up by what is covered in a state Nurse Practice Act and what is not. Iowa LPNS are not supposed to touch, look at, or even think about...

  5. FCCA Information

    PiedPiperRN replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't think that they do have any information on the website. It isn't really something that you need to study

  6. FCCA Information

    PiedPiperRN replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    RNWannabe12: Erikadawn is right! My one big suggestion to you would be to call EC if anything on the test isn't clear. I found one area that I was not sure about, and when I called the EC she...

  7. Did you take EC's A&P practice exam?

    PiedPiperRN replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Another general suggestion... use the books that EC recommends. I had a bunch of other textbooks that I used. Both textbooks were good books, but I got a better score when I used EC's textbooks....

  8. Another Transistions ?: Implied/Informed Consent

    PiedPiperRN replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Make sure that you get all the CPNE stuff together now. You have a few things that you have to get-- a medical exam, a background check, etc... you can actually sign up for the CPNE without having...

  9. Did you take EC's A&P practice exam?

    PiedPiperRN replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took the practice exam for A&P, and I did not take any practice exams for my Nursing tests. All were passed, although I did get an 'A' in A&P and only got 'A' in about 2/3 of my nursing...

  10. Locations of CPNE?

    PiedPiperRN replied to china4mom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The CPNE consists of two parts: One part is done with actual patients, and you must write an implement a care plan as well as performed various assigned areas of care. The second part is a simulated...

  11. Excelsior College

    PiedPiperRN replied to acelawler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    May I ask what

  12. Gen Ed requirements?

    PiedPiperRN replied to *Karma's topic in Online Distance Learning

    To add: When planning the classes that I would take, I would include nutrition, ethics, and statistics. These are the courses that are generally required if you decide to move towards a BSN at some...

  13. Gen Ed requirements?

    PiedPiperRN replied to *Karma's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think that it is fairly self-explainitory. If you have experience in these areas, then I would go ahead and take the Excelsior exams as then you will be sure that you have satisfied these...

  14. Penn Foster Information Literacy?

    PiedPiperRN replied to lisamc1RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wow, I should have taken that

  15. CPNE 20 minute check

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

    Um... you are supposed to check tubing? I didn't see anything about that in the study guide... I wonder what else I am

  16. Another Transistions ?: Implied/Informed Consent

    PiedPiperRN replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I meant that in the test I BELIEVE that you would not be able to get consent from a person who was chemically or medically

  17. Another Transistions ?: Implied/Informed Consent

    PiedPiperRN replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You know, I am going on expereince here, but I think that it is done by the extent of the injury and the severeness of what they are consent. In the test, I think that the answer is no, but in...

  18. ATT?

    PiedPiperRN replied to jennrose_03's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Another trick with Pearson... if you don't get a date as quickly as you want, check back often as dates will often open. Attempt to "rescedule" and you can often get a date very near in the future...

  19. Accountability Question for Transistions Exam

    PiedPiperRN replied to RNFinally12's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You are right, the answer is both. The instructor holds a little more "weight" as s/he can be held accountable to the standards of her license, as well as being the trained professional. The student...

  20. Finished last exam..now what?

    PiedPiperRN replied to LA♥Nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    In the meantime, download the study guide for the CPNE and start working through

  21. excelsior college--minimum grade for exams?

    PiedPiperRN replied to healthyone's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Nope. Applying the percentage to the weight of each section does not give you a grade. For me, I got an 'A' in one exam that I got about 79% and a 'B' in an exam that I got 82% in. Go figure. I...

  22. excelsior college--minimum grade for exams?

    PiedPiperRN replied to healthyone's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The exams totally baffled me. When you get the results you get a letter grade and a percentage of what questions you got right. (ie, 73% on Oxygenation and 83% on cardiac, or whatever is on the...

  23. Getting started with Excelsior College

    PiedPiperRN replied to stdntograd06's topic in Excelsior College

    Just a warning... Excelsior has many good points, but thier website is not one of them. It is very hard to navigate and it seems like the most vital information is buried under loads of unrelated...

    PiedPiperRN replied to Ecliptica's topic in Online Distance Learning

    there is an a&p course through western iowa technically community college that is completly online. it is a but pricy, but they require no travel to a site for labs. i took it and thought that...

  25. Penn Foster Information Literacy?

    PiedPiperRN replied to lisamc1RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    For the record, the EC Information literacy class can be done in abouat two hours assuming you have research skills and good English. The only problem is really the cost. But at the end of the day,...
