Where do I find this course?

I have been a nurse since 2005 and I worked 9 years in one LTC facility. I started out as a CNA their also. Some days you will wanna just run out and quit, but don't. These people need you. Yes they can be confused, mean, crazy or sleep all the time ...

I can't pass the English comp exam for the life of me. I have failed it twice and I don't want to do the exam again. Is this 6 credit class offered online also?

It gets better! Trust me, I've been an LPN in LTC for 10 years. You will soon have a routine and you will actually have time to do other stuff in between med passes. It is very overwhelming at first, hang in there!

I know how you feel. I graduated with a 4.0 with my LPN and now I am barely at a 2.0 through excelsior. If you want to risk retaking the exams to see if you do better that would be the only way besides taking other course. If I would have know how th...

So has anyone taken the 3 credit UExel college writing exam? Please, any info would be helpful for me. Also anyone take the Ethics in America DANTES exam? Opinions and thoughts welcome!

what did you use to study? I ordered a study book off ebay that is suppose to have everything in it to pass the exam. So we will see!

So I just failed English Comp for the second time and I think I will be on Academic probation now. I don't understand, I got straight A's in LPN school and now I am struggling to get a 2.0 in this college. They say to go this route when you need ...

The best advice that I can give, is to learn to say NO. So many managers take advantage of new nurses and push them over the limit with hours worked. I have seen it time and time again. After I told these new nurses that they have to learn to say no...

I have been a nurse since 2005, but unfortunately when I was in school, when it came time to do clinicals, it seemed like most of the "old school nurses" that I had training me, acted like I was wasting their time. I got more eye rolling than I cared...

Well with a very shaky hand, I submitted my CPNE application! I am hoping to test around June in Madison. Not sure where to start, but I will figure it out. Have most of the supplies to set up my labs. Any comments/concerns about I think it's Sherry'...

Thank you so much for the info! My nerves tend to overrule me sometimes so I need to just remember to focus. I am going to do the online workshop. I won't be able to go to an actual workshop so the online will have to do. I just want to get done wi...

I have done this several times. It is a totally awesome feeling to see those residents eyes light up over an egg sandwich, cheesburger, chocolate cake ect.

I work for Mayo Clinic Health System in Wisconsin $17.05 base rate plus $3.00 shift differential for 2nd shift and $4.00 more for nights Long term care. Been there almost 9 years. Full benefits.

I've been doing the program since 2009. I had to do ALL the gen eds plus all the nurses classes. A total of like 16 classes. I have failed 3 exams but passed 2 of them the 2nd try. I have to retake my English yet and do my Cpne then I will be done ex...

so i just spent $40 in ink about a month ago to print the 18th edition study guide that they sent me. Is this edition no good now? I'm already half way through reading it also. I'm planning on testing in about 4 months. do i need to get the new study...

I am a nurse in LTC and you have every right to feel how you feel. I would be upset too. There is no reason for how you or your family member were treated. We are here to serve the resident and their family. I live by the motto: treat others how you ...

Motivation is the hardest part. Basing your whole grade on one test score is also intimidating, but it can be done. I've been working on my RN degree for 3 years, one class at a time, I had like 17 classes to do, and I am now down to 2 classes. It ca...

I would find a used version of the recommended text. I got one for about $25. It was like 1100 pages and I read it front to back. It was nice because it had alot of pictures to help visualize things better. I passed 1st try with a C, but I had alot o...

I am almost done with the Excelsior RN program. Been doing it since aug 2009. I work full time and have a family. I did the college network thing, but would highly recommend not signing on with them, because you can find the modules on ebay for usua...
