  1. I'm in Louisiana but my feeling on this, is that for the legislation to make sense, the board will have to retroactively take licenses from those who have already been licensed in GA, after all what...
  2. It's official -- RN!!!

    Love the new name and avatar Lisa. It's funny because that is just how I imagine you in scrubs. And I am a little bias here,but I think scrubs look the best on shorter people, I'm here at
  3. It's official -- RN!!!

    Congrats Ms. RN. I coming behind you really soon, if the CPNE doesn't chew me
  4. Free college credit!

    You must enter the code in the PROMO code box NOT the voucher
  5. Suesquatch, GN

    I've been taking an AN posting break lately, but I just had to say CONGRATS, Sue. I knew you would do it. I'm so
  6. New Grad Applications -- Transcripts Required?

    My personal opinion is that you will only be asked for transcripts in one of the following cases: You are in an area saturated with avaible working RNs You are applying when there is an application...
  7. Well, the ditz I spoke with at EC in the CPNE department, didn't know anything at all, so I'll check back with them tomorrow and hope for someone else. The LA BON employees, as usual NEVER answered...
  8. Update on EC CPNE site in Louisiana

    No, I'm saying if you were an LPN before EC then you are OKAY(you just need to send a compy of your LPN license with your app, which you can get online). But, if you were a Medic, Midwife, or...
  9. Chamberlain Papers To Write

    As for your question I'm not sure. I'll probably ask you question after you get rolling with Chamberlain, as I am considering them for my BS. But I wanted to ask about the statement above. If you are...
  10. I was just looking at the state BON website, searching for the term"excelsior" just to see if the are plotting anything, and it was on like five board meeting agendas that Excelsior College wants to...
  11. I don't know, but they have been on the January, April, and June, board meeting agendas. I'm going to contact EC and the board on Monday to see what's up. What I am hoping is that, since, the first...
  12. Life after Excelsior

    I am looking at Chamberlian. I want a program that awards basically all lower level requirements, just for being an RN (i.e. as long as you are an RN, you only have to complete X amount of credits). I...
  13. New Orleans LPNs

    Being an LPN, the only way you are going to make RN pay down here, is to work agency full time (which isn't always possible). Otherwise you most likely will be making $5-$7 more than a CNA. What I...
  14. Maybe Moving to TX Need Advice

    Okay, after I graduate hopefully by December, my family may be a short term move to Texas , maybe 6-9 months. We are trying to decide where to move, that fits the following: -Not too small of a town,...
  15. It really would, I'm in New
  16. Hi, from a fellow Louisianian (New Orleanian, to be exact. And Katrina really got me to (til this day), a lot of moving and confusion, along with trying to get through EC makes it even more difficult....
  17. LOL. OMG, hilarious. This is my point exactly. A CNA should know how to properly give an enema, and they aren't even "checked off" on them. Like I said most traditional nursing clinical hours are...
  18. What really, churns my butter, is that all f these states have probably had EC grads working in their states since the 70's. Ans not one (to my knowledge) has produced any evidence, that EC graduate...
  19. Chamberlain RN to BSN

    I have been thinking about then for when I graduate from Excelsior. I have some to the conclusion that it'll be between them, and WGU. Although WGU is kind of elusive about the details Chamberlain is...
  20. These states are really ******* me off. I can wait until I graduate. This is really making me want to go on a crusade looking for nursing schools, that don't provide adequate clinical training ( not...
  21. Trying To Finish Up Asap

    Yeah, I noticed that a long time ago. I also noticed that with the enrollment deadline last year, they were saying that people had to enroll by the last of September and in other literature they were...
  22. enrollment

    I took NC 1 and then took NC 7 like a day or two
  23. enrollment

    I'm not 100% on this but I believe that, it wouldn't matter if you did take NC 5 and 7 together, because you actually have to be on the CPNE waiting list to have that waived, meaning your CPNE status...
  24. Trying To Finish Up Asap

    this is what my old status report says verbatim: so it looks like that letter and what they have been putting in student status reports directly contradict each
  25. My CPNE Journal

    Thanks for posting Lisa. I just skimmed through so forgive me if I'm wrong but, it looks like you had the Meds AOC i all of the PCS's, I thought we would only have it in
