1. RRT New Grad

   Beeks replied to NEWRRT's topic in Excelsior College

   I would suggest giving Exceclsior a go. I'm an RRT that was laid off in December and I'm having a heck of a time finding work. With the way my studying is going, I am hoping to be a licensed RN by...

2. Question about preceptorships

   Beeks posted a topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

   So, I am currently an RRT in nursing school to get my RN. I was laid off in December from the hospital I worked at, and have been having a rough time finding work since. I'd really LOVE to get into...

3. Getting close to FCCA & CPNE

   Beeks replied to Medic Vet 76's topic in Excelsior College

   I am nearing the CPNE as well. I have only the 3 lifespan classes to pass, one of which I am studying for now. I am getting nervous as well, but I know that I can do this. It's just a matter of being...

4. Ineffective Airway Clearence

   Beeks replied to studentnurse92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I'm inclined to want to choose "A". The answer "green thick mucus" doesn't mean that they have a strong cough necessarily. Though they're obviously getting something up (because you know what it looks...

5. Just finished the FCCA finals!

   Beeks replied to Lambvmd3's topic in Excelsior College

   Congrats! I am anxious to get there myself! Do you know how often the FCCA's are scheduled? I'm just trying to figure out a rough guideline of whether or not I can be done with all the classes by the...

   Beeks replied to RNBearColumbus's topic in Excelsior College

   Thanks for posting this! I recently spent half a week trying to register for a class before I broke down and emailed the school. An adviser quickly ok'd me to take the exam I was ready to take, but...

7. Need help. Health and Saftey exam this week.

   Beeks replied to Firemedicj's topic in Excelsior College

   I was so nervous for this test, but it wasn't bad at all! I passed with an "A". It took me a little over an hour to take the test (including going through each question twice). Most of the...

8. Looking into Excelsior

   Beeks replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Excelsior College

   The only clinical portion of the program is the 2 day weekend for your skills checkoffs. It's like a final for clinical skills. You are expected to learn the clinical component of the courses on your...

9. Passed Transitions!!!!!!! yay!!!!!

   Beeks replied to Beautynurse87's topic in Excelsior College

   I found Health Safety to be a lot more interesting than the Transitions. I just passed it last week. I think if you read each assigned chapter carefully you shouldn't have any problems. Most of the...

10. Nursing Fund. text book

    Beeks replied to Iheartnursing's topic in Excelsior College

    Yeah, I'm using an older edition as well and I don't think it's a problem. You will need the book for most, if not all, of the courses. Some of the chapters are a little bit off. For example, the...

11. Passed Health Differences!!!

    Beeks replied to GoalSeeker's topic in Excelsior College

    Congrats on passing!! It's a great feeling, isn't it? You can do this! I found Transitions to be the hardest test so far. I passed with a C. The material is just so dry and boring (to me). I found it...
