Does anyone have experience with Allegany College of Maryland online LVN/LPN to RN program?? I am also considering Excelsior, but I had started College Network and it was not for me, so now I am hesitant to Excelsior(even though they are not affilia...

Our PTs don't do labs, but yes PT's can be case managers, you do not have to have an RN case manager. We have several PT only patients which means they get no nursing at all. If an acute issue comes about that requires a skill of a nurse, then we h...

Being properly trained in OASIS is key. In any home health setting, I would suggest taking OASIS training or reading CMS guidelines and see what it is really asking. Are they asking you to change your charting or change your OASIS....Remember CMS i...

I tested today too, I got 75 but it was sooo hard! Idk why I thought it wouldn't be lol. I'm too nervous to try PVT. I jad lots of select alls and infection control too. Very little drugs, no math. Several psych

The HH company I work for (also in TX) do on call pay, even salaried. They said you they have to give on call pay if you are on call, whether you get called or not. We also have around 400 patients and calls aren't that hectic and our company is re...

1000 likes! There is such a big push and pressure to continuously advance and obtain the next level degree, which is great....but what would happen if everyone advanced their careers to the NP or administrative roles? You have to have bedside nurses!...

Whichever side of the fence you sit on, at the end of the day, we all bear the same "RN" after our name and sit for the same state board exam. As far as critical thinking goes, ADN and BSN are expected to graduate with the same clinical reasoning ski...

Shabba, the transisions first semester is an 8 week class and starts mid October. They don't get to those applications until all the generic students are processed. We start back up on Monday, so they will probably start calling after that, but I wan...

Mrs. Bea is actually really helpful, she just has a lot on her plate!

As of now the only summer classes are for the transition students that start in the spring. Generic ADNS take fundamentals/Med Surg 1 in the fall, and the fall transitions take a transition course. Then they all take Med Surg 2 and Pedi in the spring...

It's going ok. For transition, your first semester is an 8 week transition class, and it's one day a week, and honestly like a waste of time, LOL. After that you merge in with the "generic" class and for the most part you are in class for 2 days a we...

They're really slow with the accepting process...I wouldn't look for them to call until probably July! Hang in there. For transition, it took forever and then they called us to come test like in a weeks notice, and then test again, and then maybe cal...

I just started the transitional program Thursday. Did you get in???

I applied for the Fall 2015 LVN-RN transitional. The deadline for apps is May 15. How long does it take for them to contact you to schedule a HESI and what about the blue card? Doesn't seem like a whole lot of time from now until August!

I did not go to Lee College for the LVN program. I turned in my application and everything I needed, so now it's just the waiting game!

I'm going to apply for the LVN-RN transitional program.

I'm going to put my app in for the LVN-RN transitional program

I have been debating on going the Excelsior route for 2 years now! I had initially started out doing The College Network, but realized that it was just a way to get people to spend more money! I would feel more comfortable going the traditional ro...

I am considering doing EC. I have heard good and bad reviews. The clinical portion worries me, based on some of the reviews I have read, and I have not been in a hospital setting for about 3 years now. How long did it take you to complete the prog...

I'm debating on doing Excelsior myself. I have heard good and bad. Have any of you done the clinical part yet?

I am VERY jealous!!! I too work in TX, but my salary is under $20000/year(second year here). And d/t budget cuts there are no raises for anyone in the near future! I work here for the hours and my kids. That is the going rate at schools around here...

I e-mailed them and was unable to get anything for the boys, but I am still using the same video and it says boys get it. I had a lot of disappointed boys last year :/

I'm in the same boat as you! I wish somewhere local would offer night classes with night or weekend clinicals!

Lamar State, the last I heard is not taking new students because I believe the program was put on probation by the BON. I hope that changes soon, because that is one of my best options for my job and etc. Lamar State College, Orange, still has thei...

I had the same thing this week!!!!
