    ScudderRN31 replied to RatedR22's topic in Excelsior College

    Realistically no, not including CPNE. Exams can be completed within that time frame. Could get FCCA completed by then as well if you time out exams right since FCCA is only offered every 2 months....

    ScudderRN31 replied to LaNurse22's topic in Excelsior College

  13. Questions regarding getting started with Excelsior

    ScudderRN31 replied to glenn216's topic in Excelsior College

  15. Why is Med-Surg so hated?

    ScudderRN31 replied to Nola009's topic in Medical-Surgical

    That was my thoughts..I work in a critical access hospital where we do practically EVERYTHING on our med surg floor. We have PRN nurses that work ICU in other facilities and hate it because they can't...

  22. Going from Med/Surg to LTC thinking is hard

    ScudderRN31 replied to dorselm's topic in Geriatric, LTC
