    CPNE Study Materials

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to Brookshire92's topic in Excelsior College

    Some people complain that it is outdated and that the videos are old, but he does update all his stuff with each new guide that comes out. I do agree the video quality is poor, but it is good enough...

    paramedic to rn start to finish

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to medictobernjoe's topic in Excelsior College

    Thats up to you. Several things factor in to that. If you are not a good self study person and need structure, the courses are probably better. They do cost more, but can be eligible for grants and...

    paramedic to rn start to finish

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to medictobernjoe's topic in Excelsior College

    You would need to have your transcript reviewed by Excelsior to see exactly what courses you need to take. You can look on Excelsiors site also and see what their requirements are and compare to what...

    What is the average pay in Houston for new grad RN with BSN?

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to hasnaa051's topic in Texas Nursing

    What is the average pay in Houston for new grad RN with BSN?

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to hasnaa051's topic in Texas Nursing

    $25-28/hr for new hire grads, not sure if it is the same for the residency program. I work with a few that just finished it and a few that are just starting, but never actually discussed their pay....

    Do others follow this practice?

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in Men in Nursing

    So basically what your saying is you don't feel you can hold yourself accountable? Sounds like you need to find a new place to work if this is such a prevalent problem. So I have to ask, did you...

    How long is your break

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to Electric0704's topic in Texas Nursing

    There is no federal law requiring a lunch break (or any breaks at all). Many states do have a requirement, but it varies on each state. The federal law states if a short break is taken (5-20 minutes),...

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to BlessedRN18's topic in Excelsior College

    These wait times are getting crazy. I was upset about my wait (4 months) about 3 years ago, but I know many are 8 months or more. Glad you got a date, good luck with

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to rearviewmirror's topic in Emergency

    Go work for a Dr office. That is the "cake walk" your looking for, but you will be paid accordingly. Look at day surgery centers. You do have to work early mornings sometimes, but no weekends or...

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to Buckeye007's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    What is the point of a sitter if it is not 1:1? If your getting one patient into a bed, what keeps the other(s) from getting out? Also, how do you watch 4 pts at once, are they all in the same

    IO checkoffs

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to rjohn152's topic in Emergency

    We do a checkoff on a dummy leg in front of our educator. It really is an easier skill that IV's so long as you know correct placement and contraindications. Having to check off in front of an MD...

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to medictobernjoe's topic in Excelsior College

    The education has nothing to do with it, it is the way the degree is earned. As you said, it is the rule that California has is that clinicals must be concurrent with the nursing courses, which...
