  1. Excelsior A&P (SCARED!)

    LadyMadonna posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am trying to avoid taking in-classroom A&P so I signed up to take Excelsior A&P. I know it is going to be difficult and was wondering if anyone who has taken EC A&P could help me out a...

  2. Excelsior college - moving to California

    LadyMadonna replied to sunflowerrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've heard a lot of people refer to them (or the publishers who get you through their program, at least) as diploma mills. This was coming from people who had nothing to do with

  3. EC grads...need your input to finalize my decision to enroll

    LadyMadonna replied to copnlpn2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    How long does it take to do the 30 unit option in

  4. Britney demanding background checks for her L&D nurses..

    LadyMadonna replied to Peachy720's topic in Ob/Gyn

    And you know what else??? I shouldn't have to be trained to tune out garbage I don't want to hear. It's abuse! Good material for psychological torture! We're supposed to find Britney so cute and...

  5. Britney demanding background checks for her L&D nurses..

    LadyMadonna replied to Peachy720's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So I proved your point? So what? Britney Spears and the rest of her no talent ilk make me sick and I resent the heck out of seeing their mugs plastered everywhere I turn, which, by the way, is MORE...

  6. Britney demanding background checks for her L&D nurses..

    LadyMadonna replied to Peachy720's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Please, lady, you are taking this thread waaay too seriously. No one wants harm to come to Britney Spears or her baby no more than they want it to come to anyone else. What we have here is a venting...

    LadyMadonna replied to nawn's topic in Online Distance Learning

  8. Can any RNs tell me if this is true

    LadyMadonna replied to geminiskittels's topic in General Nursing

  9. Should there be a limit on trying to pass NCLEX?

    LadyMadonna replied to 2ndCareerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Three strikes and you're out seems to be a good rule that could apply here. I think the nursing profession would be held in greater esteem if it didn't look like any Tom, Dick and Harry could be a...

  10. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    LadyMadonna replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have to agree with you. I mean, come on, this was one of those freak accidents that no one could have predicted or prevented. People die everyday in freak accidents. Not that it makes this any...

  11. Just cancelled contract-LPN-RN

    LadyMadonna replied to nurseunderwater's topic in Excelsior College

    I know the feeling of wanting to hurry and get done. if you are going through Excelsior, no matter how fast you prepare for your tests, expect some delays on Excelsior's part. If you fail a test, you...

  12. excelsior college

    LadyMadonna replied to honeydust29's topic in Online Distance Learning

    In that 2.5 yrs. you were enrolled in the school though, would you not say that your experience helped you? I'm saying that it is better to have experience before you enroll in a home study program...

  13. Legal Rights as a RN with DUI conviction

    LadyMadonna replied to ERRN2005's topic in General Nursing

    Since this is your second DUI, does the BON want to send you through the peer assistance program for drug/alcohol abuse? You may have heard that you can't fight city hall. I think the same thing would...

  14. excelsior college

    LadyMadonna replied to honeydust29's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I know and hear of many LPN's who thought they would jump right out of LPN school and into the Excelsior program and be finished in a year or sooner. While there is no law saying you can't do this it...

  15. Did you ever "neglect" a patient???

    LadyMadonna replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is something the facilities love to hold over nurses' heads. If you leave a hall on your shift without getting fired or told to go home that is patient abandonment and you'll lose your...

  16. Excelsior college

    LadyMadonna replied to tulips's topic in General Nursing

    Excelsior graduate here. If you want to work in California you should look elsewhere, because CA no longer accepts EC grads. Certain other states (like Illinois) will only accept EC grads under...

  17. Can any RNs tell me if this is true

    LadyMadonna replied to geminiskittels's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is not for someone who has bad enough back problems they need narcotic pain meds. I'm not trying to tear anyone down, we get along in life the best way we know how, and I understand the OP is...

  18. Average CNA salary?

    LadyMadonna replied to pdpeanut's topic in General Nursing

    Most home health places pay a little more but they generally want aides with some previous experience. Back in '96-97, I was making $6.50 an hour as a CNA. It was backbreaking work, and the paychecks...

  19. Britney demanding background checks for her L&D nurses..

    LadyMadonna replied to Peachy720's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've got to say, that girl is a talentless wonder...if it weren't for the fact that she is shoved in your face nearly everywhere you go, I'd have no idea who she

  20. Co-Worker Threatening Suicide

    LadyMadonna posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am concerned about a fellow nurse I work with. She is in her late 40's and has a history of attempted suicide (though they were more like calls for help, she slit her wrists in front of her children...

  21. Co-Worker Threatening Suicide

    LadyMadonna replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the advice. Right now, I have my phone unplugged (she started calling before I even woke up, she is determined I call her boyfriend and tell him she attempted to kill herself and I found...

  22. is this child abuse?

    LadyMadonna replied to bronxRN's topic in General Nursing

    Remember when Forest Gump saw that creep hit Jenny and he tore across the room and started using that guy's face for a punching bag? I'm afraid there would have been a reinactment of that when I saw...

  23. Too much pain and suffering to get screwed this close to getting my RN pin

    LadyMadonna replied to rrw365's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I just find it hard to swallow that is the ONLY reason they have let you go. They allowed you to get this far and now they throw you out over this? Believe me, much more serious errors occur...

  24. Our baby was stillborn... Please help me understand

    LadyMadonna replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The tactlessness of some nurses infuriates me. These fools need to be taken aside and taught some bedside manners. I'm terribly sorry you had to go through this. You baby is a boy, not an it. I have...

  25. Disabled LPN looking for new field using medical knowledge

    LadyMadonna replied to jandog's topic in General Nursing

    There is a big to do about legal nurse consultants right now, and though I have heard you must be a registered nurse I heard this is not set in stone (though I imagine attorneys who might use your...
