  1. Best online RN-BSN: WCU, ECU, or W-SS.

    I went to WSSU for my BSN in the distance program and grduated May 2010. The program was good, but getting the school to do their part for admission and class registration was frustrating. The biggest problem was lack of communication, they don't te...
  2. ECU ANP

    Is anyone currently attending or has anyone graduated from ECU's ANP program? I am located in Raleigh and am looking at ECU among others, but ECU seems to be the best fit. I'd love some insight into this school or any others that offer online cours...
  3. ECU ANP

    7 visits to the campus isn't bad. Do they help you find your clinical sites, or do you have to find them on your own?
  4. ECU ANP

    I love on line courses. Many people think they won't be motivated to keep up, but you have deadlines just like a regular class and you can do it in your jammies!! Will your clinical assignments be local? Are there things that you must do at the ma...
  5. ECU ANP

    Was it difficult to get into the program? Are you near the school or will you be doing the distance program?
  6. Health Physical for CPNE?

    It has to be within one year of your CPNE date. My MD filled out the paper work based on my last physical which was october, my CPNE was July. By the way, the MD office did not charge to do the paper work:)
  7. Wyoming prereqs?

    Call the school where you took the course and request a syllabus. They have them on file, If not your exact course section and teacher it will be a current one, but they should still accept if because it is from the same school and every section of ...
  8. North Carolina Roll Call

    Welcome to NC, we will be glad to have you:)
  9. How late are people staying on Sunday at CPNE?

    Regardless, you will be done by 5 pm on Sunday. I booked my flight for later Sunday night, 8pm I think. I did a late check out at the hotel, and then hung around the airport for bit before my flight. I was at home an din bed by 1 am and glad to b...
  10. new grad jobs in NC

    If you go to wakemed.org and look under the employment tab for nurse fellow positions you will see opportunities in almost every department. It is a year long program that begins with 3 months of orientation with a nurse preceptor and lots of classe...
  11. Any schools similar to excelsior

    Have you checked your local 4 year school for a second bachelor's degree program? You would have to attend classes and clinical, but they are often set up for people who work. Also, they may have all the class stuff on line and you would only have ...
  12. The AC439 Good Luck Thread

    Wonderful!!!!
  13. Several CPNE questions

    Good Luck!!!!
  14. Care plans

    You can also send practice careplans to EC and they will critique them for you. I found that very helpful, the more I did the easier it got.
  15. GA and excelsior college

    I graduated from EC sept 05 and lived in GA. NJ wanted too much stuff, they wanted proof of every name change including the license from my first marriage 20 years ago--just too much. Minnesota was much easier to get along with, they need a letter f...
  16. What to bring with us when take the test?

    Actually, I meant the first test--as in the first step:) It's new, you don't really know what to expect, so which ever test you are taking first is the hardest. As far as tests go, I thought nc 5 was the hardest, but I still got an A.
  17. What to bring with us when take the test?

    You go to the desk and tell them who you are. They will want your photo id and the authorization to test. They will take your picture, and give you a locker. The only thing you are allowed to take into the test room is your photo ID, the key to yo...
  18. Excelsior Program Lpn To Rn

    I completed Excelsior's program less then a year ago--conferral date was september 15, Georgia had no problem what so ever with endorsing my license. Always ask the board though to be sure, I would email so you have it in black and white---just in c...
  19. Univ. of WY, I need some help!

    The outreach school that you would be taking classes through is around $140 per credit hour. They have two different rates--outreach for distance education and campus for people physically there taking classes on the campus. Try this link to the o...
  20. need some guidance and advice

    Your employer may provide education assistance. Most schools accept clep/dantes and EC general courses for the prereqs. For these you self study and take a test, it's less expensive then classes and you can do it at your own pace. A&P and micro...
  21. CPNE study Grid

    That exactly what it is. Draw lines on the back to make boxes--3 down 4 across--or how ever many work best for you. Draw the lines on the back of the pcs form and write the letter or first word of your pneumonic in the boxes. You can check them of...
  22. Joining the ANA and staffing issues

    I agree with what Timothy said too:) The hospital I work at has been threatening similar things--increase patient loads, do away with admit nurse. I also joined a nursing organization, the National Nurses Organizing Committee. It's a competitor to ...
  23. grades from Excelsior?

    You know immediately after the test what your grade is--while you are still at the computer. Then when you leave they will give you a print out that breaks doen each section, which is helpful.
  24. Charting

    ISBN: 1-58255-987-2 List price is $42, B&N price $34 and if you have the B&N membership $31 and free shipping. If you buy from Lippincott it's $39.95 plus shipping. According to the ad in nursing magazine it does have examples. It says..and ...
  25. Charting

    Tweety, I've looked at that one and was not impressed. It really covered the types of charting, no what to chart. I keep seeing an ad for a book called Chart Smart, put out by Lippencott. I looked for it at my local B&N, but they didn't have i...
