  7. Anyone doing Excelsior LPN to RN?

    N1colina replied to Beautynurse87's topic in Online Distance Learning

    He/she is right! It sounds like you are talking about The College Network, because I did the same thing! Don't do

    N1colina replied to Tarabara's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  9. Stuck between a rock and a hard place

    N1colina replied to N1colina's topic in General Nursing

    To tell you the truth, I don't think anyone feels totally prepared for the hospital after graduating from Excelsior, unless they've had previous hospital experience as LPN....but that's why they say...

  15. Unlicensed personnel calling in prescriptions?!

    N1colina replied to bassbird's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  16. Unlicensed personnel calling in prescriptions?!

    N1colina replied to bassbird's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hate to admit, but this happens at my office all the time, as well. MA's are given prescriptions to write out for patients and the doctor signs them. They screw up ALL the time, and sometimes the...

  23. Repro for EC- possible??

    N1colina replied to dslpninla's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I really can't remember to tell you the truth....I can tell you that there were some practice tests that I would score in the 50's or 60's, but would still pass the actual test. That just meant I had...
