  1. I love this job

    Maybe not, but he's definitely in the wrong category. Maybe he should have posted this under the Male/MenNurses thread???
  2. I love this job

    The OP bought the smallest scrub top that he could comfortably squeeze into, and now, he's walking down the halls in 'The Rock/John Cena' mode...flexing while he struts. Just wait until he gets that...

  4. Can an LPN work as a Surgical Tech?

    You lost me here. Do you mean, in your current facility where you work as a CNA? If that's what you mean, you will only be able to work as an RN if your employer promotes you into an RN position. If...
  5. Why wouldn't you use the respiratory condition? Being stabilized doesn't mean that one is not at risk for a recurrence, right? Especially if that is one of the MAJOR reasons for presenting to the ER...
  6. Has Excelsior figured out a way to improve CPNE wait time yet?

    I must agree. When they called for the interview, it had been so long since I'd applied, I didn't even remember which position they were calling about, since I applied for every one they had in which...
  7. Going back to school in my 50's

    I received my RN license 7 years ago after 24 years of LPN service. I was 44 when I started and fearful that I no longer had what it took to excel in school. I had to read things repeatedly just to...
  8. New hospital, but not a new nurse blues...

    I think the majority of this could just be misguided perception on both sides. Perhaps you allowed the day nurses to invoke or embed their opinions of the night shift nurses onto you. If you speak the...

  11. How do I get out?

    You are not stuck. It's like that person believed to be drowning when all he or she has to do is stand up. Years ago, I started living below my means. I did an assessment (that's one of the very first...

    I see you found the EC section. Great! Also, there are several Facebook groups that you may want to try also. Just go to FB and search for Excelsior College, and they will populate for
  13. Has Excelsior figured out a way to improve CPNE wait time yet?

    Thanks!!! But, I'm not in there yet. I'm told that I am, but....I'm still on the outer side of the gate. Definitely not a walk in the park trying to become a VA employee. This is a different location,...

  15. Has Excelsior figured out a way to improve CPNE wait time yet?

    Oh...in that case, I'll just pull up a chair and keep you company while you wait. I'm sorry you have to go through this. I know better than anyone what it's like to see the finish line, yet have...

  17. Has Excelsior figured out a way to improve CPNE wait time yet?

    I would be taking a couple of general education exams separate from EC (that would apply towards a BSN) during that 12-month downtime if I were you. You could check any college's BSN prereq...
  18. Anyone recently taken excelsior health differences?

    Have you tried posting this question under the Excelsior College category? You might find other students who have recently gone through this particular exam. I went through the theory exams back in...
  19. CPNE Round 2, ding ding

    I've been checking here a couple of times everyday since Sunday evening. On Monday, I said that Bill was out celebrating his success, after all, he was in or near The Big Apple. Today, I can only hope...
  20. You will need to call the Board of Nursing in the state where you live to find the answers to your questions. Have you spoken to them yet? If not, that's where you should
  21. Hello I need help finding a job!

    Have you overcome your driving issues yet? If not, employment options are limited. Was the driving the reason for the loss of employment? If it played a role, I'd suggest you get a grip on that first...
  22. LPN to RN in Michigan with Excelsior

    The courses for the ASN are totally different from those courses of higher degrees, in that the ASN program courses incorporates quizzes and exams that are not part of the BSN (which I completed at...

  24. Respect For Nurses

    Just yesterday I went into a store called "At Home". Men may not be familiar with it, but a lot of women are. Here in Georgia, the name was changed from Garden Ridge. For those who are unfamiliar with...
  25. New manager needs help

    I prefer to just be left alone so that I can do my job and get off on time. No need for pleasantries, thank-you's, definitely no time to fill out anonymous surveys. If you want to win me over, answer...
