Ugh... Sorry if anyone else is putting up with this.

I work in a hospital and a clinic. We are not allowed to carry our personal cell phones. We have at times texted one certain Doc who never answers the phone and simply said Please call ASAP. Never would I dream of accepting orders VIA text. The same...

It can take up to SIX months for the CPNE?

I do not feel inferior to RN's , I feel unappreciated. I tend to think it is the RN's and CNA's who may feel a bit obsolete while I'm( or a few other LPN's) on the floor that like to "throw" up the fact that I am just a LPN. As far as RN's not bei...

I have read several post that say both FCCA's are do able at the same time. I chose to do one at a time.

Wow! Great reading here! Would like to add that those comments have been from CNA's and RN's.

I know several who have been successful with Excelsior. Good luck to you!

Ahh..yes.

I posted back to you BostonFNP.(don't know what happened to it)..yes, venting. Is there any way I could reply to the ones who say this? I know I should just really let it go. But 2 times in one week, 3 times in a month...getting old, old, old.

Know a RN who refuses to toilet her pt because she already "done that job" and will call the CNA to get a call light. YIKES!

See how typing can change the meaning of things... Yes, venting. Yes, I have been told 2 times in one week that I am not a nurse in one way or the other. I had just let go the last time someone said it to me. That was about a month ago. I honestly t...

@ Boston..you do get the point of the post, or you wouldn't have made the remark "witch doctor has doctor in it". Again, sorry to any LPN who is being told they aren't nurses.

THANKS!

*bump* Good question!

No, I took 496 first. I think it was a good choice to do one at a time, however, many have said both were doable...

Good luck to you! You know the format and the info, you will get it for sure!

Are you jumping right back in with 496?

I took 496 first, now in 498. I can say the hardest part of 496 was getting used to the format...AND my nerves. Good luck to all!!

Who is Rob? I have heard of the Sheri Taylor workshop, not Rob though.

Got ya. Thanks for posting.

Can anyone explain why FCCA can't be discussed but the CPNE can be? I realize the FCCA's used to be on paper and thus not a collaborative effort. I find just discussing these exams a way of relieving anxiety.

Same to you! Are you taking both at the same time?

WOOT WOOT! Congrats jbeanmi!!! Did you take any workshops? How long did you study?

It's too bad they can't have a site in the mid midwest. Kansas City, Des Moines, Omaha. That would make me feel better at least! :) Good luck, keep us posted!
