  1. HW Qs, NCLEX-style

    StrawberryBanana replied to StrawberryBanana's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    OMG Your answer for E really makes sense! Ugh, wish I would have thought of that. I'm always busy reading into questions and missed that.

  2. Excelsior CA limitation

    StrawberryBanana replied to Matthew700's topic in California Nursing

    I don't think EC grads are asking for special treatment. However, it would be nice if California gave options for those who graduated from there. Why does it have to be impossible to work there as an...

  3. are there hospitals in USA who accept foreign RN with little or no nursing experience

    StrawberryBanana replied to zarina_1007's topic in Immigration Advice

    I feel Ginger's Mom made some very valid points. I completely agree with her and I'm glad that she actually cared enough to take the time to explain this to the OP as many other foreign nurses read...

  4. Excelsior college

    StrawberryBanana replied to Betty555's topic in Excelsior College

    Thanks for clearing this up you guys! Wow. I'm going to be a total wreck. I'm very confident with my beginner's skills, when I'm not being watched..but it's a whole different story when someone is...

  5. Excelsior college

    StrawberryBanana replied to Betty555's topic in Excelsior College

    OMG...so is there one CE for all of us? Will a CE be watching your EVERY little move, every second of the process? What if you finish before the 2.5

  6. Excelsior college

    StrawberryBanana replied to Betty555's topic in Excelsior College

    Oh wow. Scary, but a little less stressful-sounding since it's not 8 hours straight. So it looks like you have 1 hour increments. Now, is that ENTIRE hour dedicated to you?...or will you be performing...

  7. Excelsior college

    StrawberryBanana replied to Betty555's topic in Excelsior College

    Ok. Thanks you guys. Can I ask how long the hours are for the CPNE? I heard it's 2.5 days. Are those days 8 hours straight? Are they broken up? Are you alone in a room or out with a bunch of other...

  8. Excelsior, LPN school, or WHAT!!!!

    StrawberryBanana replied to teacher08's topic in Excelsior College

    Thanks caliotter. I actually was planning on NOT working at all, as I do have a means...However, I am beginning to second-guess myself from comments on the forum. It seems as though I would be totally...

  9. Excelsior, LPN school, or WHAT!!!!

    StrawberryBanana replied to teacher08's topic in Excelsior College

    To be honest, I'm not sure. I guess I should say that I would be looking for an unpaid internship...perhaps that and volunteering

  10. LPN/LVN Additional Certifications

    StrawberryBanana replied to antidote's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I know this thread is geared toward LPN certificates, but if I earn these, will they be "good" toward my RN license,when applying for positions?

  11. Excelsior, LPN school, or WHAT!!!!

    StrawberryBanana replied to teacher08's topic in Excelsior College

    Thanks for the encouragement you guys! I would love to work as a travel nurse, but I don't feel that's realistic, as they don't really have a demand for LPNs, nor do I have the 1-2 year min. of...

  12. Excelsior, LPN school, or WHAT!!!!

    StrawberryBanana replied to teacher08's topic in Excelsior College

    i actually wanted to volunteer 2 days per week..but i'm not sure if that would be possible. i posted a resume on monster for volunteering and i can't believe i didn't receive one reply. i posted it in...

  13. Getting started with Excelsior College

    StrawberryBanana replied to stdntograd06's topic in Excelsior College

    Really Erika? I heard that you don't need anything extra, at all, outside of the actual practice tests and guides. However, I am willing to purchase something if it makes a difference between grades...

  14. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    StrawberryBanana replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have, but to no avail. I did speak with EC and they confirmed that Maryland and California still do not accept them. However, they said they have heard of people working for a year and applying to...

  15. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    StrawberryBanana replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think it's very arrogant of California to deny EC Nursing grads, who are ALL previous LICENSED nurses, yet accept foreign nurses, in place of them...and here we are...all graduating from USA Nursing...

  16. Excelsior college

    StrawberryBanana replied to Betty555's topic in Excelsior College

    So the CPNE courses aren't really worth it? If that's the case, I may save my money!

  17. Excelsior, LPN school, or WHAT!!!!

    StrawberryBanana replied to teacher08's topic in Excelsior College

    I keep hearing that you will zip through this program if you start right when you get your LPN license and I just find it SO encouraging! I feel positive again . I come from an AWFUL program. That...

  18. Getting started with Excelsior College

    StrawberryBanana replied to stdntograd06's topic in Excelsior College

    You do not need to go thru Rue or College Network or ANY of that! In fact, I encourage you to STAY AWAY. Everything you need can be found on eBay - New more at low prices. Type in Excelsior and...

  19. Are all Excelsior Grads "Super Smart" ?

    StrawberryBanana replied to dbarnes2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Do you think I would have any trouble as a new grad LPN? I'm literally starting at Excelsior with ZERO work/intern experience..and my clinical rotations were subpar, during nursing school. I feel like...

  20. Are all Excelsior Grads "Super Smart" ?

    StrawberryBanana replied to dbarnes2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I understand that..but indefinitely? Where does it say indefinitely? Realistically, I was willing to accept that, either way..but hey, if there's a chance I wouldn't want to tell myself that it's an...

  21. Are all Excelsior Grads "Super Smart" ?

    StrawberryBanana replied to dbarnes2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    At this point, I do feel I'm willing. However..why indefinitely? Just

  22. Are there any Excelsior LPN-RN grads here who went on to a BSN program afterward?

    StrawberryBanana replied to StrawberryBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That's great. I actually have a few SUNY colleges in mind. Stony Brook & Empire State College SUNY. I hope there aren't any issues being accepted there. That would be wonderful :). Do you know if...
