  1. OR Nurse in PACU

    LoopsRN2 replied to Guest382916's topic in Operating Room

    Is there some specific task that you are doing that is making you feel this way? I moved from the OR to PACU/SSU 2 months ago for the first time and I am loving the change, but whoa...very

  2. Excelsior approved CLEP 3 cr humanities, which one?

    LoopsRN2 posted a topic in Excelsior College

    Okay, I have been on the Dantes site, and I can't seem to pull the info I want off it. I only need 3 credit of humanities and my advisor at Excelsior even recommended the Dantes CLEP for approx $75....

  3. Excelsior approved CLEP 3 cr humanities, which one?

    LoopsRN2 replied to LoopsRN2's topic in Excelsior College

    Such good advice

  4. Excelsior approved CLEP 3 cr humanities, which one?

    LoopsRN2 replied to LoopsRN2's topic in Excelsior College

    The REA CLEP book is excellent, go through it a few times. If you dig through the EPN, there is a Dantes thread, and a few students talk about A&I Lit there a bit too. I took it a week after my...

  5. How many hours of clinicals do traditional nursing schools offer?

    LoopsRN2 posted a topic in Excelsior College

    Some of my fellow nurses have asked me hour many hours of clinicals I had with EC, and I explained my CPNE, but I am now curious as to how many hours brick and mortars offer in a year? As I see...

  6. How many hours of clinicals do traditional nursing schools offer?

    LoopsRN2 replied to LoopsRN2's topic in Excelsior College

    Interesting! So, for a LPN coming into a an associate degree program, I suppose it is roughly 1000 hours? I am trying to remember how many hours we did as LPN students (this was almost 20 years ago)...

  8. MOTIVATION

    LoopsRN2 replied to pinkfluffybunny's topic in Excelsior College

    You are in the home stretch, and during these last exams it can get hard to keep your momentum going but hit your review hard and give yourself regular breaks. I did consume a moderate/large/excessive...

  9. CPNE this weekend

    LoopsRN2 replied to nursingforever35's topic in Excelsior College

    You have the winning attitude! Have a GREAT weekend!

  10. Books

    LoopsRN2 replied to Mimi2BNP's topic in Excelsior College

    There are a variety of opinions on this topic. A friend of mine made it through the program (with fabulous grades!) with I believe just Saunders, sg101 and the practice exams, but I believe she said...

  11. CPNE help

    LoopsRN2 replied to Mgarrett1984's topic in Excelsior College

    I don't know where things are at now, but I was CPNE eligible and applied in June 2011 and had to wait until August to get a CPNE date for November 2011, so I had about 5 months. I tested in Madison,...

  12. Can I expect to get a job with a degree from Excelsior in Ohio?

    LoopsRN2 replied to dsomday's topic in Excelsior College

    I would recommending going to the Excelsior Nursing wall on facebook, lots of discussion on this topic on the wall. I have a friend that did the CPNE (the clinical) the same weekend as I did, and he...

  13. LS3 and Saunders Question?

    LoopsRN2 replied to Nervous1's topic in Excelsior College

    Hmm....if you mean in Saunders, the practice questions in Saunders are WAY WAY easier than the actual LS exams (in my opinion). The EC practice exams have far more flavor of the true exams than...

  14. LS3 and Saunders Question?

    LoopsRN2 replied to Nervous1's topic in Excelsior College

    I think every students studying techniques are different. I, personally, would never have made it through any of the EC exams with only SG101. When I took LS3, the content guide was set up a bit...

  15. Back on Track with a PASS!

    LoopsRN2 replied to Nervous1's topic in Excelsior College

    Congrats

  16. Almost there...

    LoopsRN2 replied to RyanCarolinaBoy's topic in Excelsior College

    Congrats on reaching the home stretch! It seems like there are a few EC students close to the same time frame you are in. We had a big group finishing together here at allnurses last year, and it...

  17. online workshops..Tina L or Sherri T?

    LoopsRN2 replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Excelsior College

    I did Tina Logan's online care plan workshop for 2 months (Sept & Oct of 2011) and I learned so much more than just care plans. I had submitted one care plan a week to Excelsior for 3 months...

  18. The EC Magic Pencil

    LoopsRN2 replied to t-lo's topic in Excelsior College

    There was an EC Pencil at my EC workshop, but I was never told anything about bringing it to my CPNE or that it was "magic". What you are given at the seminar looks just like what you will see when...

  19. can't order CPNE flashcards?

    LoopsRN2 replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Excelsior College

    You may not be able to access those study materials until you are officially CPNE eligible, but you may be able to go to the CPNE EPN board and see if anyone has a used set to sell?

  20. vent about other nurses attitudes

    LoopsRN2 replied to pinkfluffybunny's topic in Excelsior College

    OP, I am going to quote Esmes12 signature quote.... "No one can make you feel inferior without your permission." Eleanor Roosevelt I am an EC grad and RN and I can assure you that I am not awkward in...

  24. Excelsior Journals

    LoopsRN2 replied to tommys girl's topic in Excelsior College

    I graduated on 1/20, so I am unable to log into the communities anymore but noticed that they were gone almost a week ago while I was still able to log in. I would give EC a call and see if they have...

  25. Opinions of Kaplan Review book only vs NCSBN Online

    LoopsRN2 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Saunders to supplement my nursing classes, and I purchased Kaplan's Strategy and Review book and did all of the post tests and did very well, but I am concerned that Kaplan's questions in the...
