  1. LVN to RN

    Diahni replied to scubagoddess's topic in General Nursing

    Scdid you look at Excelsior online? It might be the best route.

  2. NC 3, Yesterday!!!...

    Diahni replied to FocusRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Dreamnurse: I know what you mean, I could never do "study groups." - I think it is really unfair to charge for the practice exams, or the more detailed study guides, but that's the way it is. I know...

  3. NC 3, Yesterday!!!...

    Diahni replied to FocusRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Dream Nurse: I made a little project out of keeping track of answers I changed on exams. What I found was not that I changed them all to wrong, but it was about fifty fifty, changing from either right...

  4. LPN Starting Salary

    Diahni replied to pat8585's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Tricialynn, do you know why nursing homes would pay more? Around here, Western Mass, the nursing homes could pay up to 23 or 25 for a new lpn, depending on if you take benefits, etc.

  5. Need Excelsior Clarification

    Diahni replied to LilDKessler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi Lunah - Thanks- I'm going to compare the content guides, too. I'm kicking myself for not enrolling last year so I could skip the new stuff, but I actually think I will benefit from the assessment...

  6. Need Excelsior Clarification

    Diahni replied to LilDKessler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Lunah, Whaaaaa? Are you doing the "new" courses? Lemme get this straight - which is the first one (being the one I should do first?) I thought it was health and safety? Somebody from EC told me the...

  7. Need Excelsior Clarification

    Diahni replied to LilDKessler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Is that the second exam? Remember you can skip that one if you're an lpn.

  8. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    Diahni replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    Gross!

  9. Failed the NCLEX-Pn 3RD TIME!!

    Diahni replied to qazwsx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Everybody, I think one of the most important things to know for the NLEX is HOW to take it. This could easily be the problem, because it's one weird test.

  10. Excelsior

    Diahni replied to pamedic20013's topic in Online Distance Learning

    just remember that if your circumstances change again, you can always do it online. For instance, I know that you can go from RN to BSN at Umass in about a year's time.

  11. LPN Starting Salary

    Diahni replied to pat8585's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    HI, this is an old post, but I am just looking for LPN jobs and surprised that they are starting at 23 or so an hour. I live in a rural area a few hundred miles from NYC and Boston.

  12. Failed the NCLEX-Pn 3RD TIME!!

    Diahni replied to qazwsx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kanda, Just tell yourself it's not a matter of if you pass it, but when. I'd start off by looking for NCLEX messages on allnurses.com - they're very helpful.

  13. Help

    Diahni replied to motivatedlpn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Lunah - Please explain - the College Network, from what I understand, does pretty much what you could do on your own? What on earth are you paying for if you sign up? I applied to Excelsior directly...

  14. Excelsior

    Diahni replied to pamedic20013's topic in Online Distance Learning

    texasqueen, phew, i feel a lot better, especially since i know you finished. have you done the nclex yet? all told, it does seem like the right thing for me - on one hand, my "real school" clinicals...

  15. Excelsior

    Diahni replied to pamedic20013's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Holy Cow! Two in ten??? That's a scary statistic! I don't like that at all. With all the stressing about the nclex, both pn and rn, at least most people pass, and ones that don't take it again....

  16. Excelsior

    Diahni replied to pamedic20013's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hey, yeah, do it. I just started. I have a few reservations, though. It takes a long time to get the CPNE appointment. If you have all your prerequisites down, the entire fee will be about five...

  17. New RN and working with a new-to-floor aide...

    Diahni replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Unreal! Surfing on the job? And I'd feel guilty looking up some med info! If your direct manager doesn't hear you, you have every right to go above her head, I'd say. Looks like two people aren't...

  18. Need Excelsior Clarification

    Diahni replied to LilDKessler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    mistydave, I hear ya - it took over THREE MONTHS of waiting to get my NY license, grrrrr...only good part was at least it was summer, but very frustrating.

  19. Devastated after 17 years

    Diahni replied to marcirnc's topic in Ob/Gyn

    but why are there so many jerks out there? it's a mystery to me - everything is better if people are nice to each other, even our health.

  20. Need Excelsior Clarification

    Diahni replied to LilDKessler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Misty - better get it right from the horse's mouth - each state has its own regulations, and you want to make sure you know ohio's if that's where you want to work. While you're waiting for them to...

  21. family thinks I'm MD

    Diahni replied to trmr's topic in General Nursing

    makes perfect sense - everybody wants a "friendship discount" ! Maybe they think you will tell them the real secrets that mere customers aren't told!

  22. family thinks I'm MD

    Diahni replied to trmr's topic in General Nursing

    You did right - of course you don't want to diagnose and give advice - if your aunt is ticked, that's her prob. From time to time, we may like to discuss something medical, but the problem you discuss...

  23. Need your advice:

    Diahni replied to TRD's topic in General Nursing

  24. Need Excelsior Clarification

    Diahni replied to LilDKessler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wannabe - I guess it depends on the rn program you will be able to attend - had I gone to a program where I could stand the teachers, and I really couldn't, it might have been preferable to do a "real...
