    Mimi2bRN replied to nitrospeed16's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  4. Lidocaine uses??

    Mimi2bRN replied to nitrospeed16's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  9. FCCA Exam

    Mimi2bRN replied to Mimi2bRN's topic in Excelsior College

    Thank you all for your feedback. This helps, though the answers are really varied. It's a little frightening because I'll also be taking English Comp. at the time. But I'm on such a time limit, I...

    Mimi2bRN replied to curiy17's topic in Excelsior College

    Mimi2bRN replied to BLAKEY2005's topic in Excelsior College

    I've taken Chronicity, Transitional, LS II and about to take LS III. Didn't do as well on Chronicity, so with LS II I bought the practice exam. I know it ain't cheap, and who needs more expenses, but...

  14. Any males out there tired of the drama?

    Mimi2bRN replied to HumptyDumpty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hm-m-m. Here, I thought nursing was all about teaching patients and families self-care, to take care of their injury or disease, and NOT to be dependant on (you)! You mean, I've had it backwards all...

    Mimi2bRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was wondering if anyone out there can let me know if they are first-time passers of the CPNE? A work-mate and I who are LPNs are under the gun to get our RNs and are studying now. We heard some...

    Mimi2bRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in Western Governors University
