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

    I am assuming what you mean by "formal training" is that I can't "legally" complete my nursing documentation with RN initials?? You are correct. But I am at the end of my RN program, just waiting for...

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

    I also agree with that. My mother, a retired nurse, made sure I focused on my academic education from K -12 grade. Unfortunately I was not home educated. But as I stated in my last response, I will...

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

    Coming from a public school background I am aware of what the public institutions have to offer. I was a HOSA member in 9th and 10th Grade (a long, long, long time ago) My children's home school...

    It's bigger than just the bullying, but I won't waste valuable time trying to explain why my husband and myself made a collective decision to home educate our children. Like I said in my previous...

    No, I was just being sarcastic. I don't take personal attacks kindly, especially when the individual pointing fingers doesn't know me. I wish I could have been home educated when I was a kid

    You're welcome Pixie RN! And yes, Excelsior's program is definitely worth it. Had it not been for your in-depth post on the CPNE I probably would have ran in the other

    Wow! You really think you know me based off a misinterpreted post? Because I home educate my children, I have a need to control every aspect of their lives? No, it's a need to protect my children (I...

    The regulatory requirements for home education depends on the state you live in. I have been using Connexus/Florida Virtual School for about 4 years. I can't post the link here. Try searching...

    Between my four children and their online home education courses, and studying for Excelsior College's CPNE; I don't even have the time. Yes, I said it! Online home education courses, instructed by...

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

    There is nothing wrong with home education. From what I hear about public educational institutions, my children are much better off. Don't judge something you don't understand. I asked for advice,...

    Like I said I have no idea what "helicopter parenting" is. My children decide for themselves what they want to do. I would NEVER pressure them into doing something they don't truly have a love for. My...

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

    I don't know what "helicopter parenting" is but I doubt I am doing that! If she has an interest because she loves what she sees in me as a nurse, why not "introduce" her to it? I've loved nursing...

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

    First of all, I wanted to be a nurse since the age of 8 or 9, my daughter is 12. I see no harm in "introducing" nursing concepts to her if she's interested. I just wanted to know how much is too much....

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

    Maybe I used to wrong words...I did not PUSH HER into nursing. She has a mind of her own. My children decide for themselves what they want to do. What I should have said is that I set a great example...

    Maybe I used the wrong words...I am not pressing ANY of my children to go into the nursing field. I find there are FAR TOO MANY nurses out here who shouldn't even be nurses. Her decision to want to be...

    Has Excelsior figured out a way to improve CPNE wait time yet?

    Kamilah Coney replied to AlleycatLady's topic in Excelsior College

    I applied for the CPNE February 2017 and received an email that I would test between January and March 2018. That means my wait time is between 11 and 13 months. The current wait time for students who...

    CPNE for Excelsior

    Kamilah Coney replied to forgiven640's topic in Excelsior College

    Okay I think I just read right through your post without paying attention. The CPNE was changed to the 22nd Edition so there are quite a few "new editions" to the PCS and NSL. But, do not become...

    The Clinical Performance in Nursing Exam (CPNE): what the heck is this madness?!

    Kamilah Coney replied to Lunah's topic in Excelsior College

    Wow, time flies! The last time I posted was July 2014, right before I took my first credit-bearing nursing exam (Transition to the Professional Nurse). Now that I am in the belly of THE BEAST, I can...

    Yes, I am a working Private Duty LPN. Married for 16 years and "home educating" for children ages 15 - 9 years of age. Initially started pursuing a nursing (RN) degree in 2008 after having my last...

    I apologize if my reference to the FB Excelsior group offended you. Had it not been for ECs posts here on allnurses I would not have come across the group on FB. I only suggested it because there are...

    If your A&P and Microbiology are more than 5 years old, you will have to retake them. They also have added the T.E.A.S test which must be passed prior to acceptance in the program. I haven't...

    I have been using SG101 to study along with Sauders RN-NCLEX Comprehensive Review (because I don't feel like printing the 300+ pages of SG101 practice questions). I haven't had any issues using SG101...
