Is this for a preceptorship? This hospital offers it? Thanks!

where on the BON does it say that about LPN and hours? i was an LPN for 4 years before RN.... if i do have to do the preceptorship do you have any idea how i go about setting this up? the BON is not much help... THANKS!!

OH wow....yah i think its a bit ridiculous that we have to do preceptor ship...i dont think they understand how tough and demanding it is to pass and graduate from Excelsior...hardest thing i have ever done...anyway, im glad to see Excelsior is helping us students out. do i just contact Excelsior and let them know GA is not accepting my endorsement? right now my application is still in process but they sent me an email stating that i would have to do a preceptor ship. i was also an LPN for 4 years before getting RN so i have years of experience just not in hospital setting and i guess that is what they looking for...i never get a straight answer when i call them. how far is TN from you? so you will have to move? my husband got a job in Atlanta so that is why we are moving..i was not aware that GA did not accept Excelsior students, and when i called to make sure before i applied they lady on the phone told me that if NY licensed me then so would GA...i guess she didn't know what she was talking about. i am also pregnant so i will need to wait a while to work anyway, so maybe i can do preceptor ship now and then work later...we shall see...does your friend have to pay for the lawyer or is it something excelsior is just providing? is Excelsior the only school that has this problem do you know...did you know this before you started the program? what kind nursing do you want to do? Good luck on the boards. trust me if you can pass the CPNE then you will pass the boards. they are 10000 times easier. LOL. just remember ABC's first and you will pass...those were half of my questions, priority and what do you do first type questions....NEVER call MD first always intervention first then call MD...just my two sense...

They told me to submit the clinical hours and they would review it. That is all they told me so far. i have worked as an RN for almost a year here in NY, and they are still making me take the preceptorship...b/c i worked in home care i guess and not hospital based setting, im not exactly sure.. do you know how to get a preceptorship? are you going to do it or work somewhere else? i guess i understand b/c i dont feel clinically ready through Excelsior but i am ready b/c i took clinical courses elsewhere...only did not take Leadership and community health...ahhh but its all a little frustrating b/c when i called them to find out if they took excesliro students they person told me YES, as long as another state accepted it. do you know anyone that did a preceptorship? where in Atlanta do you live? im not moving there until end of April.

I have been an RN for a year adn they are still making me do 350 hours...i also have clinical courses' from a bachelor's college that i did not graduate from im sending those in as well so im hoping they will accept them. I thought if i had experience hours they would take it but i worked in home care so i guess they dont consider that clinical experience. hmmmm did you do excelsior?

Hello is anyone on here living in Georgia that went through Excelsior College online? i am currently livining in NY, i work as an RN but am moving to GA and they want me to do a Preceptorship before giving me my license...Any help with this would be appreciated...how do i get a preceptorship? Thanks Stephanie
