  1. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    DYatesRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I really think the ORMC thing is dependent upon the nurse manager that you interview with. The first one I interviewed with was very skeptical. The next one that I went to went very well and she...

  2. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    DYatesRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    We are both from Orlando, so you may find this of some interest...while working at ORMC one of the clinical instructors from Seminole community college approached me because she had always heard...

  3. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    DYatesRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, but you must also realize when going this route that other states besides California are preparing to take a stand--Colorado being one of them. If you are one to move around then this probably...

  4. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    DYatesRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, I know that they haven't been able to get in on that certification alone. They used to and things changed in early 2003 I believe--just about a few months before we students started hearing...

  5. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    DYatesRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No the point isn't just to pass...the point is *trying* to see if the individual is competent of safe patient care. This is exactly where EC ran into trouble--people not qualified studying enough to...

  6. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    DYatesRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Unfortunately passing the CPNE or the NCLEX does not ensure that one is competent. With enough studying someone not even in the field could pass. The CPNE is a structured exam--a dedicated studier...

  7. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    DYatesRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    As a matter of fact I DO believe there has been a rash of errors made by incomopetent grads. I think that with all these fly by night publishing companies setting up shop and luring students in, that...

  8. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    DYatesRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    In my post, the issue was not if one could *pass* the CPNE, but rather that one could hit the real floor and perform at a new grad RN level. While there are certainly exceptions to everything, I find...

    DYatesRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Very well put. I second those exact

  10. Trouble getting job

    DYatesRN replied to Kashlee's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It means just that...California board of registered nursing no longer allows EC grads past that Dec date. EC does not have the clinical supervised hours that is mandated by the board. Unless you...

  11. Trouble getting job

    DYatesRN replied to Kashlee's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I believe it is where you take all the clinical and science courses but not the arts type things like english...this option can't transfer out of California. You can use this RN license only in...

  12. Best middle schools - Orlando and vicinity

    DYatesRN replied to taltos's topic in Florida Nursing

    Teague middle school in Altamonte springs. All three schools in the teague zone are A rated schools. Forest City elementary, Teague middle school, and Lake Brantely

  13. New LPNs going to EC....why not?

    DYatesRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There is a BIG difference in what the LPN and RN can do in certain areas. I had tons of clinicals in my 2 year LPN in Minnesota as well...but as a new LPN I would not have been ready for excelsior....

  14. Trouble getting job

    DYatesRN replied to Kashlee's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No, California will not let you transfer your license from another state if you graduated from Excelsior UNLESS you made the enrollment date of December 6, 2003. No they will not accept EC BSN if...

  15. Trouble getting job

    DYatesRN replied to Kashlee's topic in Online Distance Learning

    not at all. I was hired by the major hospital system here in Orlando without ANY problems. Good

  16. EC grads...need your input to finalize my decision to enroll

    DYatesRN replied to copnlpn2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Excelsior is a program not intended for everyone. It is geared toward working adult learners. I researched this program prior to enrolling. I looked at its downs and weighed those against my...

  17. Excelsior college - moving to California

    DYatesRN replied to sunflowerrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    LOL ok...you are all over the place on these boards. Once defending Excelsior and then complaining about the very things you knew about before applying. I never said nor do i live a perfect life...

  18. Excelsior college - moving to California

    DYatesRN replied to sunflowerrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Obviously, I surely don't understand. You say you are unhappy with the program because of the reputation of the college, the restrictions some states have for licenses, the anount of money spent, and...

  19. Excelsior college - moving to California

    DYatesRN replied to sunflowerrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    LPN, It is not about "I-made-it-by-the-date-how-responsible-I-am"...it is about I knew the controvery, the pro's, the con's, the what-if's, and I weighed them so that later on down the line I wasn't...

  20. Excelsior college - moving to California

    DYatesRN replied to sunflowerrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I guess it is just as reasonable to continue and stuff the degree in the closet as it would be drop out so close to completion. Even if it is not about the past deadline that you are angry with...why...

  21. Excelsior college - moving to California

    DYatesRN replied to sunflowerrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hmmm...so it is all Excelsior's fault that you willing applied to the program knew the fees involved, had access to obtaining the Cali info, and now are upset that you can't get a license there???...

  22. ? for nurses who have endorsed into california recently

    DYatesRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    If you do not have speech as one of your generals in your ADN program but hold a current RN license and ADN degree from another state can you endorse into California? I see on their web site it says...

  23. ? for nurses who have endorsed into california recently

    DYatesRN replied to DYatesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Suzanne! You are a great resource

  24. Excelsior college - moving to California

    DYatesRN replied to sunflowerrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Suzanne-- I have a question that I was hoping you or someone else could answer about endorsement. I met the EC cut-off date and applied for endorsement...do you have to have speech as one of your...

  25. Excelsior college - moving to California

    DYatesRN replied to sunflowerrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sorry Lizz but it is childish to be angry at something you should have known about before you enrolled! Yes, Excelsior should have acted sooner on these companies that exploited their program. One...
