Just checked out that link you provided and that mask is great on so many levels!!

Quick tip to OP.... don't post anything with the words medic or paramedic in it....... you will rarely get a warm crowd on this forum. There are some kind nurses on here that will not immediately take offense to medic and turn it into a medic vs nurs...

I just applied for an ED RN position at my local level 2 hospital and they do pay for medic experience above and beyond a starting RN pay. The RN pay is already the best around here and the fact that I will make more than other new RN grads is quite ...

I work 24s as a medic too and there's a huge difference. When I work a 24 I do not get to go home and sleep in the same bed as my husband or get to put my kids to bed. Working 12s at the hospital you get to do both and you get to do that every night ...

That's fantastic, I'm proud of you:up:! How long did you study with that short of a wait time?

I knew you would pass!! Congrats!!

Title should have read: NPAC still the fastest to *get* a test date for CPNE? I have always heard that NPAC was the one to choose to get the fastest test date. I called EC today and was told that the MPAC, SPAC, and NPAC were all a 6-7 month wait on...

OOOH great point! By the way, GOOD LUCK and I know you can do it !!!. I have been using Sheri Taylor and I love it.

That's exactly what I was thinking!

Yes you can. It's an eBook. Just log in to your MyExcelsior account, then go to the top of the page and click on library, then search the library for "Microbiology Demystified". The ISBN number for that book is 9780071446501.

That college writing exam through Excelsior is only $95. You just have to write two essays in MLA format. They give you two hours to write them, I believe, and you will write them in response to a subject given to you, so nothing has to thought up ou...

@ ll_palmer...... What two pre-reqs do you need?

@ brutus00...... Microbiology demystified is a really good study source for that micro exam. It breaks all the info down for you and makes it soooo much easier to take in. You do not have to buy the book because you can view it for FREE in Excelsior'...

The exams are tough and should not be underestimated. I have many years in as a paramedic and my background helped me out quite a bit. I also do not get text anxiety, so that helps too. Just relax when taking the tests and if you do not know the ans...

To all the new EC peeps: I'm a paramedic bridging to RN with Excelsior and I love it. I am CPNE eligible as of now, so I'm almost finished. I started Jan 6th of this year and I have quickly sailed through the program. My advice is to be very self-mot...

Wow that was quick! Lucky You! I wish you all the best

Congratulations, that is great!! When did you apply for that site? I just finished my FCCAs and focusing on CPNE now

Some of the best people I have ever met were less educated, had little money, and covered in tattoos. Some of the of the worst people I have ever met were well educated, had plenty of money, and went to church every Sunday. If you really want to ****...

EKGs Made Easy is a great book and you can get it in a small pocket sized version. Another great resource for a visual learner is YouTube, there are many great teaching videos on there. Don't worry, once you get over the hump it will all come togethe...

Hi Boston. I have read tons of your posts and I value your opinions, specifically which online NP programs do you consider to be of quality? I have researched and researched and Simmons as well as USI seem to be quality online programs. I could be wr...

eguy.....it's a really bad idea to put your phone number out there for everyone to have. Too many weirdos!! You can edit your post to remove it. Sorry for butting in, but I really am trying to look out for you, and good luck on cpne.

Thank you msa9179, I appreciate you taking the time to post all of that great information. Very helpful!

I'm an Excelsior Nursing student and was planning on continuing with them for the BSN, but I have now decided to attend WGU for my BSN. The A&P I, A&P II, and Micro at Excelsior are all 3 credit courses and have no lab component. I am hoping ...

You are so welcome!:)
