  2. What is happening with Excelsior's ACEN accreditation

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to londonflo's topic in Online Distance Learning

    My BSN program through Excelsior (2014) was entirely online. In my opinion, there is no difference in receiving in-person instruction except your instructions were posted on the website and you worked...

  3. How do you study for NCLEX when you’re broke??

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Nsco2018's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used the latest edition (at the time) of Kaplan’s Strategies, Practices, & Review, (around $30-$40). It had 3 full-length practice exams in the back of the book, and quizzes at the end of each...

  5. Working full time

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to rockchickrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Writing papers come easy for me. So 2-3 days a week after work, I gather my research. Saturday, I put it all together, create the paper and submit it. Sunday is spent praying it was good enough....

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to rockchickrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

  7. Capella University vs Western Governors University (WGU) - What is Your Experience?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to rn2bbsn's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes! That’s the discount I was given, and now that I’m almost done with my 4th course since getting started, it’s actually a cheaper option for me. If I maintain my pace, I should have 7 courses...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to rn2bbsn's topic in School, College Programs

    Just to update as promised: I am almost 4 weeks into the program and am starting my 4th course. I don't really know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't completing a course per week. But I'll...

  10. I can't get a job!!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    No need for rudeness. I was trying to sympathize with you. I definitely do not have to waste my time here. I probably have more years of PAID nursing experience than you have on this earth. Live and...

  11. I can't get a job!!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t think a worsening pandemic would mean fewer nursing jobs; the initial pandemic has already caused many layoffs for nurses and other healthcare workers. As for the holidays, with life being...

  13. I can't get a job!!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    One more thing...don't say you won't start from scratch. There are lots of nurses with far more experience than 2 years that are being laid off because of this virus. Before you know it, even the...

  14. I can't get a job!!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    I've been in your shoes, sort of, by working PRN, yet having to take a solid 4 months off, and received the same treatment as you did when I was able to return. It is absolutely amazing how some...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Stevo40's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ten years ago, it took 12 days for my license to post. Of course, my exchange with the licensing analyst at the Ga BON was one for the record books over some preceptorship hours back then because of...

  17. NCLEX PN. FAILED 3 TIMES. NEED INSIGHT

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to stephlpn95's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Are you reviewing the rationales of your correct answers as well? It’s not the number of resources that you use, but whether or not you thoroughly understand the ‘WHY’s’. The NCLEX has come a...

  18. Can you get loans for ADN if you already have Bachelor’s?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Y'all's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    On a side note, I think it would be more economical for your to pursue a BSN since you already have a bachelors in your possession. That just my

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Y'all's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. Recommendations for Online RN to BSN Programs

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to coopman712's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Forgot to add that I work 5 days per week, and being on vacation that first week of class helped me to get that first course out of the way and amplify my motivation as a

  21. Recommendations for Online RN to BSN Programs

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to coopman712's topic in Online Distance Learning

    See the screenshot. I’m beginning my third class at Capella and it coincides with my third week in their MSN program. They do offer RN-BSN, but I have no experience in the program since I received...

  22. Capella RN to MSN

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to BenjaminsMom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I haven't had a need to communicate with them. I'm doing the self-paced Flexpath option instead of the instructor-led GuidedPath option. However, they are just an email or phone call away if you need...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to BenjaminsMom's topic in Online Distance Learning

  25. Hating float pool - came from the OR, what should I do?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to adeela01's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked float pool, there were tiers. The level you chose dictated the number or hours (and the number of dollars). Is that not an option at your facility? @canoehead I did two shifts (through a...
