  1. Help please

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to hopeless1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Right there is your problem! WHY did you change your answer? (Not a question for you to answer now, but during the test). Unless you had a VERY GOOD reason, one better than your initial reason for...

  2. Help please

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to hopeless1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    if I was helping you study, I would ask you a question, you'd give an answer, then I'd ask you "why is that". When I studied, I only used one resource. I answered each question with the my chosen...

  3. Help please

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to hopeless1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In your studies, make sure you understand the rationale behind the incorrect answers as much as you do the correct answers. In other words, you need to know WHY an answer is wrong because it just may...

  4. Preceptor From Hell-Need Advice

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Breycn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a float nurse myself, trust and believe that management already knows which nurses have which personalities. They'll surely insert your name under the 'can't handle constructive criticism' tab. I...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Lishbee's topic in Excelsior College

    Wow! Which site did you choose? I tested at SRMC. Did you take a

  6. Excelsior LPN to RN

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Helper-T's topic in Excelsior College

    Of course! I have two personal friends who've gone through the program recently. One cancelled a CPNE date 4 months ago and is waiting for another testing date; and the other is waiting for an ATT for...

  7. Georgia graduates of Excelsior colleg

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Rn2017davis's topic in Excelsior College

    If you have no intentions of moving to another state, I would suggest that you go with Georgia's requirements. As an inexperienced RN, I dare say that no facility would give you a weekend position...

  8. On that call light every 5-10 minutes

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NurseCard's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've gone in and reviewed the times for the next dose of any medications that the patient could receive, explained that we're in the process of ordering another bed because of a related circuit...

  10. Missed by this much

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to emtpbill's topic in Excelsior College

    Oh wow!!!!! Sorry to hear that! SRMC is where I did my CPNE. They didn't have a PEDs unit; so we received an adult in lieu of a pediatric PCS. I loved

  11. ACEN

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Excelsior College

    The way I read this (from a nurse investigator point of view), is that they've received their accreditation through 2024; but there are a few things about the curriculum that the accrediting agency...

  12. ACEN

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Excelsior College

    5�� (Internal Server) Error - We've happened upon a bit of a problem... The link above provides information to the status of EC's accreditation with ACEN. This should put your mind at ease....

  13. Terrified new nurse

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to ShinyNewNurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I carry a closeable clipboard that has a calculator on the outside clip. Inside, I have my work schedule taped to the inside cover with my computer login information written on it, scissors,...

  14. Is this the good pop up?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to meg2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's the one I got 6 1/2 years

  15. LPN to RN in Michigan ONLINE

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to ReesaGenae's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Have you asked this question under the Excelsior College and Indiana State University forums? You might have a better chance of finding Michigan students of either of these institutions under each...

  16. Job offer, what do I do?!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to bleafcna's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would contact the ADON just to verify that she had the correct spelling of the email address. We all know that just one misplaced letter or symbol will send your offer letter into the void. They may...

  17. Getting a job

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to emtpbill's topic in Excelsior College

    As a med-surg nurse, I'm floated to the ER quite often...go figure. But I've yet to not encounter an EMT who is working as a tech (some as simply techs, and some who are student nurses very close to...

  18. 10 yr LPN going to get RN from Excelsior, TIPS?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Emm3rs's topic in Excelsior College

    This was almost seven years ago now. I remember it just like it was yesterday. Even so, lots of things have changed. I was using notes from the old Nursing Concepts series whenever I could; EC offered...

  19. Obsessed with Scrubs

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Longleggedstar's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Nope. I buy the most loose-fitting, baggy scrubs that will remain in place without my assistance. Although I've gained a few pounds (weight-loss plan in full effect;)), I kept these selections even...

  20. Recommended experience for first time travel assignment.

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Samc144's topic in Travel

    Trust me when I say that as confident as you feel with what you've learned in med-surg, five months is not enough for a travel assignment in med-surg. As a traveler/agency/float nurse, you can expect...

  21. Exceslior RN to BSN

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Hotyoungmom's topic in Excelsior College

    The RN-BSN program is nothing like the LPN-RN program. The BSN portion consists of 8 and 15 week courses. You are allowed to test out of the general education portion of the RN-BSN program, except for...

  23. What does it take exactly to become a nurse?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Juson's topic in General Nursing

    I applaud your efforts in seeking information about this career path. I must ask, though, is your wife researching this area of healthcare at all? I can tell you that if she has no interest in even...

  24. "Fixin' to die"

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to ktwlpn's topic in Nursing News

    When I speak, people often ask me if I'm from "up north somewhere". No, I was born and raised in Georgia, and have been here my entire life. But in my neck of the woods, "fixin' to" is considered by...

  25. Oh well...Three-peat?

    NotMyProblem MSN posted a topic in Excelsior College

    My LPN-RN with EC was the most awesome academic experience in my life...seriously!! I got in and got out, not just with the CPNE, but with the entire program. From my first exam to RN license in the...
