    How long you get the ATT in Texas

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to Texas_goodnurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just checked, I paid July 5th (Friday) and got my ATT e-mail July 9th (Tuesday). Took my NCLEX on August 13th (my actual graduation date was July 19th so I could not sign up for the test till after...

    Texas pay?

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

    LVN's are kind of being phased out in Texas (at least in the Houston area). Few hospitals now hire LVN's and are trying to get their current LVN's to move to RN. But the rate above is what I have...

    New Grad Pay in San Antonio

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to Shane505's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well, you have to consider the cost of living of Tx vs CA. It costs a lot less to live in (most of) Texas vs Cali. I do agree pay rates have been lagging. Starting pay for RN's around here has not...

    New grad BSN salary in DFW

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to haleesue11's topic in Texas Nursing

    If you have a RN license they can't (won't) hire you as a tech. Practicing at a level below what your licensed at is a liability for an employer and I don't know of any that would do that. I am an ER...

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to mstein86's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had ATI and it was not for me, but I know others it worked well for. You have an online tutor who helps and guides you. I also believe its tests evaluate both your knowledge of information as well...

    ATT, NCLEX-RN Test day, Pearson Vue trick, Verifying license online?

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to mmel025's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for the info mmel025, I was wondering when Texas updated their site. Took the test yesterday (Tuesday), got the "good" pop up when I checked an hour after I was done. I was wondering how long...

    Any Excelsior grads have a hard time finding employment?

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

    You will have more issues as an ASN/ADN than as an Excelsior grad. For most employers, RN is RN no matter what school. The problem starting to happen is they want BSN's or ASN's with experience. My...

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to cyde's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Never heard of it, but never say never (but you passed). I got the same pop up a little bit ago (literally, like an hour ago). As for how long officially, it depends on your state. I have heard of...

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to louiseraphelle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    "Good" pop up is 99.99% you passed (never read of someone getting the good one and failing). If you get to the credit card page, it could go either way. Keep your fingers crossed. I am taking it in a...

    How much did your EC degree cost?

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to mom2many2012's topic in Excelsior College

    I think $11,000-12,000. It's been a long time (started in 2005). I paid up front for study material and tutoring classes (kinda a waste of money on the tutoring, but oh well), and then the exams as I...

    is it just me or does it seem like more students are passing the CPNE?

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to sunshiine:)'s topic in Excelsior College

    Truthfully, that might be counter productive. You have to learn things the Excelsior way, and if you start a new job, your learning it their way. When I did my CPNE, one of the other students was a 15...

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

    no lock in. I started with the tests at $205 (or $225?) and the CPNE was like $1950, but by the time I finished it had gone up
