    Jo Dirt posted a topic in General Nursing

    If you are hospitalized for depression will that affect your nursing

  2. does IL recognize deaconess grads?

    Jo Dirt replied to KSTNLPN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, I believe Illinios accepts Deaconess grads, and they accept Excelsior grads, too. Only the requirements for EC grads are

  3. One more done!

    Jo Dirt replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well, Mouth of the South (and where I come from that is hardly a term of endearment) I see you are rather presumptuous...where on earth have I *bragged* about fogetting what I have learned? Where have...

  4. Passed NC 3, time to turn up the heat...

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Passed NC 3. Four more NC tests to go. I plan to finish them in the next few weeks. Would hardly call it a cakewalk...only way to describe it is 'doable.' I'll be studying day and night from now on....

  5. One more done!

    Jo Dirt replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, dear bellcollector, I saw some very interesting things when I did your reading you requested. I must say, it is odd that you can make such judgements about someone you do not even know. Common...

  6. Passed NC 3, time to turn up the heat...

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thank you so much. Yes, that's what some of our fellow compassionate and caring nurses are saying, though I believe that when they are saying these things they say more about themselves than they do...

  7. Question re: NC5

    Jo Dirt replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Nope. It's straight from Excelsior. I ordered it from them in 2002. It was my understanding then that you could get the individual study guides for free through the mail but you could purchase a book...

    Yea...and I fogot annoying,

  9. Passed NC 3, time to turn up the heat...

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hey cat, you wouldn't want any advice from someone as cocky and arrogant as me, who couldn't possibly be a very safe RN because I was able to pass some of the exams without much studying...how could...

  10. Question re: NC5

    Jo Dirt replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I bought this book for $18.00 from Excelsior that has all the study guides for every one of their exams. I'm studying NC 4 now. I was able to get finished with NC 1 and 3 (I don't have to take NC...

  11. One more done!

    Jo Dirt replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hey, I *had* been scheduled to take micro on 12-23 but took it on the 17th. I made a B. I'be made a B in everything so far, A&P, micro, NC 1 and NC 3. A B is alright with me.

  12. One more done!

    Jo Dirt replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If I could take "pot shots" at some of the answers and still get a B says I must have pretty much known the material.If you can do the work you can do the work, and if you know your stuff you know...

  13. One more done!

    Jo Dirt replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Gee whiz, you shouldn't take everything so personally, I didn't say that to be nasty!Why does everyone have to take everything so personally??? But since we're on the subject, is NC 3 the hardest one?...

  14. Night Nurses-Pts think we sleep?

    Jo Dirt replied to dosamigos76's topic in General Nursing

    This reminds me of when I was working in LTC. At an inservice one of the night shift workers asked if they were ever going to offer shift differentials. The DON (an older lady who ruled with an iron...

  15. Night Nurses-Pts think we sleep?

    Jo Dirt replied to dosamigos76's topic in General Nursing

    I sleep on the job (7p-7a). I do private duty nursing in a little old lady's home and about 11:00 I lay on the couch with a movie on and it's naptime. I have a baby monitor near the couch so I can...

  16. shocked at what I saw!

    Jo Dirt replied to Purple Princess's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sad to say, that's probably not the most shocking thing you'll ever see in your CNA

  17. One more done!

    Jo Dirt replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Geez....just what I needed to hear before I take the test, a real pick me upper... thanks for the info.

  18. Do I LOOK Like A Nurse To You?

    Jo Dirt replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    People can't believe I'm a nurse, either. They think I am some kind of movie star. I get mixed up with Julia Roberts a

  19. Be very Careful about considering Excelsior's Online ADN program...

    Jo Dirt replied to ColoLPNStudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    EMT2RN...oops, I'm terribly sorry. I hope my reading comprehension improves before my next test, too. That happens to be this Wednesday (NC 3). Of course my reading comprehension has been good enough...

  21. Be very Careful about considering Excelsior's Online ADN program...

    Jo Dirt replied to ColoLPNStudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I most certainly DID know what I was talking about. But I'm not going to argue over such a petty issue. EC does not state that they accept EMT-P's, they plainly state paramedics, not EMT's. If you...

    Jo Dirt replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hey, if you ever need any support pm me. I'm trying to get scheduled to take NC 3 ASAP. I'm a wildwoman over here, knocking these suckers out one after another. If I fail one I will just move on to...

    SO I WAS CORRECT...HEY, EMT2RN WHO TOLD ME TO STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION I WASN'T SPREADING ANY MISINFORMATION!!!I knew what I was talking about after all. I was kind of insulted at his comment...

  24. Failed Nclex

    Jo Dirt replied to Maltese2000's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The nursing profession needs you. My mom told me on the phone last night that AR nursing schools only graduated 700 nurses last year and they need more than twice that many every year. If I have to...

  25. Be very Careful about considering Excelsior's Online ADN program...

    Jo Dirt replied to ColoLPNStudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I agree. Just this past Friday I took the EC microbiology and passed with a B, after studying (well, cramming) for four days. I had no study guide except the one provided by Excelsior. It is the only...
