There is a lot of research out there now not in support of nebulizers. We have switched to inhalers with spacers for all ages, masks for the little ones including infants. At the other facility I work at with pediatric vented patients we have switche...

1. Drexel University 2. MSN- PediNP 3. Work Full time 4. School part time 5. I've already started a few of the basic courses, but I am nervous about finding a preceptor. Super excited about starting this new chapter of my life!!

I'm almost finished with Drexel's RN to BSN online program. I've loved it. They were super flexible with transfer credits. The advisor will even tell you which clep exams you can take if you prefere those over classes. The instructors are wonderful. ...

Keep us posted. Some of our staff would love to go to syringe pumps only.

I may get flagged for this, and I don't mean this negatively, but that's a pretty routine peds order for us. If you were uncomfortable with it, than why were you in the position to cover for another nurse? You shouldn't have been covering for someone...

I'm debating in where to enroll for my RN to BSN. I like the idea of an online program for flexibility. Has anyone ever participated in PSU's online BSN or Drexel's? Any feedback appreciated. I'd like a BSN from a school with a good reputation.

I'm starting in Drexel's online RN to BSN next week. It seems very efficient. Drexel has a good name too and the diploma wont differentiate whether you went online or brick and mortar.

I'm a new LPN, but I'm sure it's also the same for new RNs and GNs. I've been on my unit orienting for 3 weeks. The supervisor said whatever you do do NOT go over 40 hrs a week. (I don't count in the staffing numbers on orientation and they don't wan...

I aways figure you can't be to overdressed for an interview. I wore a suit to each of my interviews. I was a fairly young new grad and I wanted to make it known that I was serious. ~Kristy

We have several nurses on ur unit who came here from working there and HATED it. They would not recommend it for a second. I work in pediatrics, so I'm not sure what it is like for nurses working with adults. However some of our nurses say they will ...

I passed in Mansfield after going to Lynn's workshop http://www.cpnesolutions.com used to be the website. I would definately recommend it. ~Kristy

How did you find graduates of this program? I would love to talk to someone who has done it. I'm an RN who has recently applied for the online BSN. I am interested in their MSN program as well. ~Kristy

The quick results show a pass or a fail. They will not give you a license number. ~Kristy

I recently had a 3 day old patient come in with jaundice and a high bili. We get these patients fairly often. Because of expense they come to the general pediatrics unit instead of the nicu. We have two types of bili lights the banks and the spot lig...

I've heard great things about Drexels online MSN programs. I'm looking into that route too. Let me know if you find any others. ~Kristy

I passed the CPNE in march in Mansfield. Lynn was such a wonderful help in passing the CPNE. I might try to stop by this year in philly to help out. She was wonderful. I definately recommend her workshop to everyone involved with excelsior college. ~...

I took my NCLEX last thursday. I had quick results on monday. I didn't post a license on the website until today 8 days later. ~Kristy

I sat through the replay of the online open house at Drexel yesterday and I was very impressed. There is no maximum amount of credits you can transfer in. They seemed very flexible. I'm leaning towards their program. Anyone else familiar with this pr...

Any one have any experience with Penn State or Drexel's online RN to BSN? I got my RN from Excelsior College and I love online learning, but I dont want the reputation anymore of the "Online School" on my resume. I'm from Pennsylvania and both of the...

I did their program. PM me with any specific questions.

Has anyone else had a tough time getting in touch with someone at the state board. I have called at least 5 times and have yet to talk to the right person. I get transferred to voicemails that are full, or transferred to voicemails that arent the rig...

Congrats! Now mail your stuff into excelsior pronto. I Passed my cpne march 4th and I'm still waiting for a practice permit, so mail your stuff asap. Happy nclex studying. ~Kristy

I hope this helps

I was looking into different program options too. PSU would give me more credit for the courses I already took in nursing school than ycp would. just some food for thought. I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet either. ~KRisty

I worked 1 1/2 yrs in oncology. Yes, it does get easier. When you see your patients suffer day in and day out it is almost a relief sometimes when their time comes. Sometimes, especially when it is unexpected, it can be tough. However, My preceptor a...
