  1. excelsior accepted in ?? states

    traumahawk99 replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    first, i couldn't possibly care any less about working in california. i find the idea that it's a mecca in nursing is comical. "we like higher standards"? who is "we"? are all the nurses in...

  2. excelsior accepted in ?? states

    traumahawk99 replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    exactly.. you ACTUALLY CALLED the board of nursing and got the straight scoop on reciprocity. it would be nice if everyone would do the same, so it would cut down on

  3. excelsior accepted in ?? states

    traumahawk99 replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    and the educational requirement is fullfilled by sitting for the nclex in another state. i've called state boards and been told this information. in fact, can you tell me which board denies ec for...

  4. excelsior accepted in ?? states

    traumahawk99 replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    hey fire, i've just finished exams, and i'm a big fan of excelsior! true, a couple of states don't accept it, to my knowledge the only states you'd have trouble in are california and kansas. if any...

  5. I was totally dissed last night

    traumahawk99 replied to Law of Fives's topic in Online Distance Learning

    we desperately need you to get in touch with the NLN and tell them what you know about nursing education! by the way, what are your qualifications? and how many ec graduates do you personally

  6. I was totally dissed last night

    traumahawk99 replied to Law of Fives's topic in Online Distance Learning

    i'd simply point out ec's accreditation and it's status as a center for nursing education excellence (http://www.nln.org). ask them what designation their school has, and ask them about grade...

  7. How do you use EC guides to content?

    traumahawk99 replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    i've taken the first 6 exams. i'd advise you to buy the books they recommend. i think i bought all of the books used online, with the exception of a couple. i think i spend 600 or so in books,...

  8. Just finished Excelsior

    traumahawk99 replied to ryoung0302's topic in Online Distance Learning

    taking nursing concepts 7 friday, and planning for cpne in new york, hopefully in march. i'm getting myself on the cancellation lists as well. so far, i've found the program to be very...

  9. RN to Paramedic

    traumahawk99 replied to BamaBound2bRN's topic in Emergency

    acutally i found the national registry to be an extremely easy exam, though it's a lot of trouble to go though a course to sit for it. usually you can find a way around the system by getting...

  10. Trouble at 19

    traumahawk99 replied to AdamA's topic in Men in Nursing

    it won't affect you at all. you have no worry whatever. disclose it if you're asked, or even if you think it's possible. when i'm asked, i say "all my crimes were related to motor vehicle operation...

  11. I need advice about cocaine addiction

    traumahawk99 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Psychiatric

    i doubt he's another scott peterson. those are fortunately pretty rare. but what you do have is a real loser in your daughter's life. unfortunately, she's going to need lumps on the head till she...

  12. To tattle tale or not tattle tale... that is the question.

    traumahawk99 replied to bluesky's topic in General Nursing

    i think males view the behavior as "unmanly". i'd confront someone if there was a serious problem. going to management would be a last resort. as a guy, your best bet is to do your job and interact...

  13. Drug seekers "Drug of Choice"

    traumahawk99 replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    i knew of a guy pulling that for oxy, then reselling them. b.s. that they can do that and then

  14. Woman wakes up & is talking after 20 years in a coma

    traumahawk99 replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in General Nursing

    one can imagine how twisted her body has become during the coma. personally, i have to vote with

  15. To tattle tale or not tattle tale... that is the question.

    traumahawk99 replied to bluesky's topic in General Nursing

    unfortunately, it's par for the course in many nursing environments. a very authoritarian atmosphere encourages tattle tale behavior. i'd call that a management problem. after all, they're doing...

  16. Transitioning from ADN to BSN

    traumahawk99 replied to malenursetobe@21's topic in General Nursing

    if i were going that route, i'd look to do it online

  17. Should BSNs be paid more?

    traumahawk99 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    that's the way you make more money with an advanced degree. and i have no problem that a manager makes more than a worker, or that your hospital requires a bsn for that position. good for you. but...

  18. LPN class full should I take...

    traumahawk99 replied to xyz's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    become a paramedic, then test thru excelsior to be an rn :). it's easy to get into medic

  19. Should BSNs be paid more?

    traumahawk99 replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    who said it's capped? adn is an appropriate education for entry level, that's all. making the bsn a requirement is just throwing a fluff barrier in the way. what makes nursing pay reasonably well...

  20. BSN vs ADN Education?????

    traumahawk99 replied to Traumatized's topic in General Nursing

    i do have to say i've never seen a profession so plagued by whining and discontent. yet when i see medics and firefighters who became nurses, they're quite satisfied. nursing can be very rewarding...

  21. BSN vs ADN Education?????

    traumahawk99 replied to Traumatized's topic in General Nursing

    an adn with a few certs can make $33-50 per hour per diem. what exactly do you expect? is a much more severe shortage of nurses going to make working conditions better? it's like the profession...

  22. BSN vs ADN Education?????

    traumahawk99 replied to Traumatized's topic in General Nursing

    i can just see it now... adn's with 10 years experience unable to make "important decisions" without the wisdom of someone who has just graduated a bsn program. yes, they are just lowly...

  23. BSN vs ADN Education?????

    traumahawk99 replied to Traumatized's topic in General Nursing

    the pro bsn people are DYING to have their education recognized. it flat out bugs them that they have the same license as an adn. they want RESPECT, and want to be recognized as PROFESSIONALS....

  24. BSN vs ADN Education?????

    traumahawk99 replied to Traumatized's topic in General Nursing

    i agree that inane fluff isn't the best way to describe it. let's try nonsensical inane prattle:). this profession is damned by the desire of to make it independent, which it will never be. this...

  25. Tattoos and nursing

    traumahawk99 replied to PrincessJessica's topic in General Nursing

    heh. i'm getting the staff and snake tatood on my right shoulder this week :). i guess in my heart, i'll always be a medic
