Absolutely, I dont know of many people who would say it was great if they werent successful but yet and still greater hope for me, a site that I can access via car!!!!!!!!!

I know alot of you have attended Excelsier College and some have given rave reviews while others have not. I have applyed to the college (as an option that Im looking at) for thier Associate Degree Nursing Program and am just wanting some basic infor...

cali you are right, that would be great for me because york is within driving distance for me, not next door of course, but better than having to pay for a planr ticket to god knows where, and hotel rooms etc.

thanks again for the information, it seems that the CPNE has crammed into 2 and 1/2 days every fear filled clinical experience that I attended over 2 years at the other RN program I was in. Evaluations involving a nursing instructor standing over you...

I had spoken to an EC advisor via email, and was told that I do qualify (Army medic as well as having completed 4 semesters (75%) with clinical at a previous associate degree RN program with a C or better). You are absolutely right about the website....

Caliotter, thanks for replying. I had looked on the EC website and it was somewhat vague, I did get the gist that its basically as you said, an evaluative tool for those with previous clinical expertise. I will definitely check out some of the unbias...

Miss Lady, thank you for replying, you are right, making it that far, through the stress, the weight gain (lol), and the sacrifices I had to make in my personal life, and then failing at the very end was hugely devastating, I went about my daily life...

Here we go again.....Literally. Im sure you all have heard this time and time again. I have seen the postings as well as great advice given which is why I am here...............here goes.............. So I have failed out of nursing school officially...

Texas, well put, especially the comment on the clinical aspect. Online programs like EC are not made for people who have no clinical experience whatsoever. It does kind of cater to those that have the experience and are self motivated (alot of times ...

Wow!!! :yeah:It is about time..... your post just stated everything I was thinking. I do not like to get into the drama of arguing via postings with people (so I have pretty much ignored the rude and distasteful comments that some people post) . I mu...

I remember my little sister said something to me along those lines, after an argument we had. It is a true shame that alot of people are under that misconception. As a student nurse, I know that this is totally untrue................student nurses cl...

Do tell!!!!

Oh, I definitely agree with you on the double standard thing, it does go both ways, as far as SF, even if females were allowed to do that, its not really what Im into . Im sure there are some high speed females out there that could do it, but Infantr...

you are absolutely right, it is never too to go back to school, and I am looking into the M6 thing. Thanks again for the advice. Also, my unit is a CSH (combat support hospital) and it is the closest one where I live (i am a reservist). My best bet w...

Tx Nurse, Thank you for replying. When I first began attending college, Preveterinary science was my major and then I got deployed as an ARMY medic and surprisingly, I liked the human aspect so after weighing the pros and cons decided that although v...

I dont think it should be a huge problem, I know alot of people who entered nursing school with anxiety disorders, deppressive disorder etc. As long as you are compliant with your meds (if you are taking any) and able to cope with the stress of nursi...

you are absolutely right, and that is something alot of people dont realize. There is a double standard, because although I can deploy with and have been deployed with combat units, the ARMY is still reluctant to award schools to females that carry a...

Unfortunately, I have heard the same things and seen them at my unit. It is the reason, that once I began to make rank, I thought about putting in for a Warrant Officer Position as opposed to becoming an ARMY RN. Its sad, but there is alot of "good o...

we all know you have a master's degree in who gives a damn, trust me, as much as you broadcast it we couldnt help but hear it , but you just like the rest of us, have to do personal care on your patients, please stop trying to delegate it to the aide...

black socks, that was hilarious. It brought me back to the days of real basic training and AIT drill sergeants. Those are truly the stories that stick with you throughout your entire military career................LifeChanging!

It was our first day at the long term care facility, as well as our first day at clinical. I had not slept at all the night before or the days leading up to this, and as I surveyed the rest of my new clinical group, they looked as though they had had...

I will definitely look into some of the things you mentioned. It is worth a try, I do know that some things (specialties, ASI's) are harder to get into for those of us that are in the reserve component. Once again, thanks for the advice, I definitely...

pca 85, I definitely feel you on that one. I hate when Student Nurse Know it all raises his/her hand and gets called on because you know that the rest of classtime learning is toast.

I appreciate the great advice, as you can tell it is easy to become discouraged. It is easy to focus on failure alone as opposed to learning from it. I am going to apply to other schools and stick it out, I know that it will pay off in the end, its j...

thanks for the great advice, I had did a little research previously but wasnt sure about the income thing and it seems as though (as you stated) the income potential is extremely limited. Although, income is not the main reason I would go into it, it...
