Nurse_Of_All_Trades LPN, RN

I think that you misunderstood Pixie. Excelsior IS the college and like most colleges, they don't "meet" with you and try to lure you into their program with sales pitches. The companies that are doing that are third party publishing companies who cl...

This is a hobby of mine as well. My daughters and I love to watch YOUTUBE videos and pretend we're doing karaoke. We also like to dance to some of them (like the old school videos that had the good choreography... not any of the crap that they play n...

In the city that I used to live in, the school nurse was a CNA. I believe that one licensed nurse was over a certain number of schools and made her rounds at each of them but the "school nurse" was a CNA.

That's what I thought you meant when you said you were an OR tech and not a Surg tech. My OR calls them Perioperative Support Associates or PSA. Everyplace has a different name for the same job. I've seen CNA titles on AN that I've never seen before ...

If you have Facebook, check out the group Conquer The CPNE Beast. There is a lot of information from current and past students regarding the CPNE. One of the most talked about workshops (and I'm not making any recommendations at all here), is located...

Are you an LPN by any chance? There are a few online LPN to RN programs out there.

Sorry to hijack this thread... Is the OR undermanned in other branches as well?

^^^This... It's a privacy issue as well for patients. There have been articles of health care personnel who have violated patient privacy and taken pictures of patients and their health information without their consent (I'm pretty sure you won't do ...

Well if the OP is against vaccinations, he/she won't make it to the point of standing before BON for a refusal to administer vaccines; if you aren't vaccinated yourself, almost no health care program, clinical site, or employer will accept an unvacci...

Why does his ethnicity matter? Customer service, or lack of, isn't specific to a certain culture.

Well what if the OP was an older nurse and the family questioned her capabilities because she was TOO OLD? She may have a case related to ageism and possibly slander, since the family is going around to everyone and outright lying. OP, record all of ...

Sorry just saw your pass post... Congrats!

Did you take LS1 today?

Good luck!

Do you primarily use SG101 or do you use the required reading as well? Also do you use any of the practice exams?

That's great! Congrats!

Not doubting you, Pixie... I just misinterpreted that line. I'm glad it doesn't apply to me then, since I enrolled prior to that date 🙂

I interpreted this the same way as CKPM2RN... It sounds like this part applies to all admitted students, not just applicants... Since it says "no more than 3 months prior to FCCA"?

Almost no nursing program will accept science credits over 5 years old. The other general education courses may transfer.

I did not sense any negativity in this thread, except for this response. You asked a question in an online forum and everyone pretty much gave you the most honest answer, whether or not it's the response you want to hear. I used to pick up OT as a t...

Congratulations!

Good luck emtpbill... You are flying through this!

Keith, thank you for sharing your experience. By any chance, did you take a workshop prior to either CPNE attempts?

Yes, sorry I didn't clarify that... Emtpbill, the only way you might be able to work in Cali is through a federal facility such as the VA or BOP

That's only if you receive your ADN from Excelsior.
