    Kamilah Coney replied to smariemax's topic in Excelsior College

    Personally I don't see what the problem is when it comes to the amount of clinical hours we get in this program. From my perspective as a previous student nurse in a "traditional" nursing program,...

    Starting Excelsior's MSN - Education

    Kamilah Coney replied to Lunah's topic in Excelsior College

    Thank you Pixie.RN! You have helped me solidify my decision. I'm not going to waste time on the RN to MSN program. More than likely I will end my educational "career" with a BSN degree.

    nursing for money

    Kamilah Coney replied to spark1's topic in General Nursing

    It's sad to say, but there are way too many in this profession just for job security. I was first introduced to them in nursing school. Then I saw them in my first few years as a private duty nurse....

    nursing for money

    Kamilah Coney replied to spark1's topic in General Nursing

    As much as I love being a nurse, I would be lying to myself if I said $$$$$ didn't play a part in assisting my decision to become a nurse. But to speak honestly, I couldn't see myself doing anything...

    If getting a MSN degree is your end goal, it's possible. Start with researching colleges that will accept your GED. Once accepted, apply for the AA degree program of your choice, making sure you...

    My Daughter is Interested in Nursing

    Kamilah Coney replied to Kamilah Coney's topic in General Students

    What I meant by my original post is that I have set a great example of what a professional nurse should be, and now she wants to be a nurse. I, in no way, influenced her. This was her own decision. I...
