    Looking into Excelsior

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in Excelsior College

    I see a lot of positive threads. I know it's exam based but what about clinicals, where do you do them? At work or do they send you

    Considering moving, New York to Texas

    OrganizedChaos replied to LifeCrisis's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't live near the valley but if you're considering that move I suggest you learn Spanish. Even in the southern part of Texas I live in they have postings where they prefer someone bilingual &...

    I feel truly sorry for new grads

    OrganizedChaos replied to Concerto_in_C's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've already seen it. I applied with a company I worked for after school ($20/hr with 0-6 months of experience). Now here I am with almost 4 years of experience & they offered me $18/hr. I was...

    Calling In Sick: Dealing With Mental Illness At Work, Part 3

    OrganizedChaos replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I love your articles & they make me feel so much better. I can't tell you how many times I have ran out of work in a panic or started a new job when I shouldn't have. Thank goodness I'm getting...

    can't you just call me if you say you will?!

    OrganizedChaos replied to anashenwrath's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I understand how frustrating this can be & I have been through it multiple times. I have come to realize that if I don't get the "congratulations" phone call, then I didn't get the job. It seems...

    Statistics trouble

    OrganizedChaos replied to tp003102449's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I tried stats & eventually dropped it. It was HORRIBLE! It was ALL online! If you needed tutoring, online. We used mystatslab & it helped, to a point, but to this day I still don't understand...

    Online schools--need some guidance and opinions

    OrganizedChaos replied to charris61's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would look in depth to both ISU, EC or WGU & see which one is a better fit for you. There are forums for each. There are of course pros & cons to both, in the end it comes down to

    Which job to choose?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Taelia's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    There is a LOT of turn over in LTC so they wouldn't exactly be heartbroken over it but it would look bad on your résumé to only work somewhere for less than a

    TCN is not a school, they just sell study guides at OUTRAGEOUS

    The Clinical Performance in Nursing Exam (CPNE): what the heck is this madness?!

    OrganizedChaos replied to Lunah's topic in Excelsior College

    This was a really well written article. I could see how one would fail at a testing site & be bitter about it. It would work the other way at a brick & mortar school if a student failed. At...

    Looking into Excelsior

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Excelsior College

    Ex boyfriend is spreading rumors of drug use about me HELP

    OrganizedChaos replied to vsell220's topic in General Students

    That's terrible, is there any way you can meet with your teachers before he does & just warn them? Be calm about it. Tell them you had a bad break up & that he is trying to ruin your...

    Degree Advice...

    OrganizedChaos replied to erinkm's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well if you want to work in the NICU you're best bet is to go through an ABSN program since the likelihood of a hospital hiring an RN with a Associates Degree in the NICU is slim. I know it would be...

    Which job should I go back to?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah me too. :/ The hospitals here still hire LVNs but there are soo many LVNs down here & I have never been given a job opportunity. There are always doctor's offices, MHMR facilities & such....

    Looking into Excelsior

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Excelsior College

    It's not that I have a problem with. I have no problem with online testing, that's not the issue for me. It's the CPNE, I think it would exacerbate my bipolar. If EC had clinicals I would sign up...

    How do I get back in the study groove?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Well I was looking into online LVN-RN programs but I have come to the the conclusion that there might not be one that works for me. EC - The weekend long CPNE freaks me out, I would prefer clinicals....
