  2. What is happening with Excelsior's ACEN accreditation

    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??

    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...
  4. Starting Capella for BSN....

    I got this from the Capella website. For more information, you can log on, go to 'My Dashboard' and scroll to find 'Grades and Transcripts'. Then select your program option: Guided or FlexPath. The...
  5. Working full time

    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....
  6. Working full time

    I am working fulltime and doing a self-paced program. So far, I’m almost done with my fourth course since July. Individual circumstances, motivation, and program requirements/deadlines will...
  7. 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...

  9. 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!!

    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!!

    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...
  12. I can't get a job!!

    I believe the OP is in Washington
  13. I can't get a job!!

    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!!

    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...
  15. How Long Does Ga Take To Post RN License?

    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...
  16. Geeeeezus!!
  17. NCLEX PN. FAILED 3 TIMES. NEED INSIGHT

    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. 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
  19. The short answer is yes. The long answer is it depends on whether or not you’ve met your lifetime limit, your criminal background, and other specific factors such as maintaining a certain number of...
  20. Recommendations for Online RN to BSN Programs

    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

    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

    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...
  23. Capella RN to MSN

    So far, as of today, I’m beginning my third class. I’ve completed one class per week. The turnaround on evaluating papers has been 24-48 hours. There are 3 assessments per class, with a 3-4 page...
  24. How old were you when you started nursing school?

    WOW! What a difference a “few” days make. I’m now a boulder’s throw past 50 and about to begin my third MSN course. Never say
  25. Hating float pool - came from the OR, what should I do?

    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...
