  2. 58 years old - Am I too old to start nursing school??

    HealthKibitz replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Age is how you feel and your overall health. I am much older as well! However, I should have my RN some time next year. But, I also have other credentials under my belt so lots to lean on there....

    HealthKibitz replied to SharmaineB's topic in Indiana State University

    HealthKibitz replied to Sp11613's topic in Excelsior College

    HealthKibitz replied to ipraz4him's topic in LPN to RN

    HealthKibitz replied to ptrang1987's topic in General Students

  10. DONE! (With exams at least....)

    HealthKibitz replied to RNBearColumbus's topic in Excelsior College

    Hello. It is my understanding the FCCA is NOT an exam. I would think it would be very difficult to "collaborate" (does this mean I'm being accused of cheating??). Just like in brick and mortar...

  14. How to increase chances of Hiring

    HealthKibitz replied to Menurse13's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have been searching for about 3 months - not that long really - I worked on utilizing some of my "background" experience in mental health (as a counselor) so that they could see I had a lot of...

  15. Is Excelsior RN Program a good program??

    HealthKibitz replied to andersjoh52's topic in Excelsior College

    Regarding EXCELSIOR and living in states other than New York, I am in Georgia. Georgia wants to see more didactic experience - so basically the difference is that once you complete Excelsior, you...
