  1. Excelsior actually has been a blessing.

    traumahawk99 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    heh. excelsior has certainly been a blessing in my life :). what a great educational

  2. nclex tommorrow

    traumahawk99 replied to traumahawk99's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    i practiced for several days for the cpne. it's excelsior's clinical practice nursing exam, and there's simply no room for error. the second mistake in an area, and you're on your way home, less the...

  3. Excelsior actually has been a blessing.

    traumahawk99 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    just beat the nclex about the head and ears in one hour and 10 minutes, 75 questions. what a piece of cake! the licensing exam is a joke compared to the cpne. perhaps that's where they need to...

  4. nclex tommorrow

    traumahawk99 replied to traumahawk99's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    1 hr, 10 mins, 75 questions. just a romp in the park. i did get about 6 "check all that apply" type questions, which surprised me. only one calculation, and it was baby simple. many drug questions...

  5. Took my NCLEX today

    traumahawk99 replied to MistyDawnRN06's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    depends on your state board. minnesota is by far the most efficient state i've found. they'll put you on nursys the same day the results are in, which is 2 working days for them. after you're on...

  6. Took my NCLEX today

    traumahawk99 replied to MistyDawnRN06's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    as a matter of principle, i'm not paying pearson the additional 8 dollars to see the unofficial results. what does it cost them to let you see it? nothing! you've already paid them $200. not to...

  7. Nclex

    traumahawk99 replied to mr.brice's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    most of success is determination and not quitting, even when things go wrong. after you pass the nclex, no one will care how many times you took it! you'll be an rn, and that's all that matters. you...

  8. How long did you wait?

    traumahawk99 replied to Little Panda RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    well, i just finished excelsior college's requirements about 2 1/2 weeks ago (the cpne), and i took the nclex cat that mosby has, which says i've got a 99% chance of passing the nclex... so i'm not...

  9. NCLEX tomorrow...5/25

    traumahawk99 replied to landonsles's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    heh. good luck. just don't name the baby "nclex"

  10. How long did you wait?

    traumahawk99 replied to Little Panda RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    depends on you. i'm taking my rn exam 2 days after the ATT. 4 weeks will give you a lot of time to review, and not much time for forget. seems

  11. Audio books?

    traumahawk99 replied to michelle-new-lpn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    what i do when i'm in hard core study mode is make my own tapes of things i want to remember. it works great for me

  12. Nclex

    traumahawk99 replied to mr.brice's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    on the priority questions, think simple first. airway or proper positioning or pain relief is usually the priority. i realize it can be discouraging, but don't give up. there are people who have...

  13. Ssn

    traumahawk99 replied to loryn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    i'd go through minnesota for initial licensure. by far, it's the fastest and most efficient state board. in fact, it's the most efficiently run government agency that i've ever seen. after you get a...

  14. Who's still waiting on "THE LETTER"

    traumahawk99 replied to Sunshine0425's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    huh? i'm describing how i got my associates in nursing. there is an alternate path. excelsior is an assessment based, nontraditional program. you have to be a paramedic or an lpn to get into the...

  15. NOW I'm in shock.

    traumahawk99 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    and as it relates to everyone's favorite distance learning or whipping post program, depending on your point of view, a national license would settle the issue, period. on a national stage, no one...

  16. NOW I'm in shock.

    traumahawk99 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    we're all using the same licensing exam. is there a state that doesn't use nclex? in the interest of public health, a national license for nurses should be a reality. is there a reason it's a bad...

  17. NOW I'm in shock.

    traumahawk99 replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    a shining example of the buffoonery that occurs without a national license. we need one license that allows medical professionals to work in all

  18. CCNE vs NLN Accreditation

    traumahawk99 replied to richkundrn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    i think many are gravitating towrd ccne accreditation. high on the agenda is an all out push to make the bsn entry level to the nursing profession. you'll see more 4 year programs moving to

  19. I'm convinced. I'm applying to Excelsior. :)

    traumahawk99 replied to lisamc1RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    great decision! it worked wonderfully for me. i feel it's a huge advantage if you work med surge as an lpn, in that you won't have to do that after you get your rn license. you can hop into another...

  20. kind of a vent....Paramedics

    traumahawk99 replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

    heh. as a paramedic, we had this ongoing joke: Q. "what's the difference between god and a nurse?" A. "god doesn't think he's a

  21. Took my NCLEX today

    traumahawk99 replied to MistyDawnRN06's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    obviously, you passed :). i'd feel pretty good if i were in your shoes, which i hope to be in the next 10

  22. Excelsior actually has been a blessing.

    traumahawk99 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    they can't change the rule overnight. they'd have to give a cutoff date. like california did. california also has 6,000 ec grad nurses. they can't take your license back. i'm positive that...

  23. Excelsior actually has been a blessing.

    traumahawk99 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    if you denature excelsior, then it wouldn't be excelsior. it is an assessment based college. the point is whether nurses are competent and safe. i have met many excelsior students face to face....

  24. excelsior college mosby nclex prac exam

    traumahawk99 replied to hsieh's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    you passed. it's not about the last question if it shuts off at

  25. Excelsior actually has been a blessing.

    traumahawk99 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    heh. perhaps you could be the poster child for the california bon :). both of you are at odd with the nln's judgement. other than the fact that you "just know", do you have any evidence that ec is...
