    excelsior cpne

    Murse901 replied to lacnola's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There's not a "high chance" you will fail it if you prepare properly. :) I think the current pass rate is 64% for first-time takers. This means that 36% of first-time takers are not preparing the...

    Allied Health Institute

    Murse901 replied to mamayogibear's topic in Online Distance Learning

    While I haven't attended this school, we have similar schools in my area that offer programs like this. I didn't see the PCT course listed on your link. But, if PCT = Patient Care Technician, don't...

    CLEP Exams

    Murse901 replied to timothy45638's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Considering that CLEPs are accepted at the larger majority of U.S. colleges and universities (and have been for decades), and that a CLEP costs a fraction of an ***-in-seat college course, and that...

    CORRECTIONAL LPN?

    Murse901 replied to crodriguez's topic in LPN to RN

    Well, if it's a question of paying the bills, you do what you have to do. As far as the compassion issue, I don't mean to imply that every future employer is going to be hesitant about hiring you....

    It's the Illuminati, but I've said too much already.

    fellas what yall think i should do

    Murse901 replied to proudpops's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Honestly, you should probably be studying right now instead of posting about possibly banging your classmates. I got plenty of this type of attention during LPN school. While it was a welcomed ego...

    Fluid Volume Deficient Care Plan

    Murse901 replied to snwflknurse's topic in General Students

    Also, your AEB's are WAAAAY off. Deficient fluid volume as evidenced by amber-colored urine? Amber-colored urine could be considered a normal color. Amber may be a bit dark for normal urine, but it's...

    Fluid Volume Deficient Care Plan

    Murse901 replied to snwflknurse's topic in General Students

    Ummm.. are you not using a care plan book? If you have a good care plan book, it pretty much lays everything right out there for ya. It will even list possible R/T's and AEBs (although it may be...

    CORRECTIONAL LPN?

    Murse901 replied to crodriguez's topic in LPN to RN

    I worked 2 years as a corrections LPN. It was pretty easy money, but it actually paid less than most hospitals around here pay. Not sure why, but the company I worked for had the contract for both the...

    Practice exams - Excelsior Chronicity

    Murse901 replied to k3104's topic in Online Distance Learning

    To be honest, you need to study more. I got similar scores on the practice exam and I scraped by with a C on

    Murse901 replied to upset student's topic in General Students

    Definitely can't give any legal advice here. But, I would be interested in knowing the specifics of these "bogus" reasons for dismissal. I understand your frustration and anger at being kicked out of...

    CEU's

    Murse901 replied to bigdttu's topic in General Nursing

    Also, this won't really help you in this case, but it will help in the future. I personally use RN.com for the majority of my CEU's. They offer a free CE every month (anywhere from 1 to 3 contact...

    CEU's

    Murse901 replied to bigdttu's topic in General Nursing

    cecilsgirl is correct. You can't take CEU's after the fact and use them for renewal. i.e. if your renewal is on November 1, 2010, you can only use CEU's for the 2-year period prior to that, or however...

    ACLS

    Murse901 replied to NiceShot's topic in Cardiac

    I was in the same boat as you before I decided on a hands-on ACLS course. The online ACLS courses are not AHA approved, so your card will not have AHA endorsement. Many, but not all, hospitals require...

    CEU's

    Murse901 replied to bigdttu's topic in General Nursing

    Check with your employer for any inservices that might count toward CEU's. (Edit: oops, just noticed that was already

    Any Chamberlain RN-to-BSN that have gone on to FNP?

    RN/Paramedic on a Rig?

    Murse901 replied to Zalan's topic in General Nursing

    I believe my advice was to take advantage of Creighton's program as soon as possible before any potential changes take place. I'm not sure how you managed to twist that into me telling people that...

    RN/Paramedic on a Rig?

    Murse901 replied to Zalan's topic in General Nursing

    In the scope of this thread, the semantics are, as I said, needless. Until the changes are actually in place, it's all pure speculation. Plans change. Regulations change. State EMS boards' governing...

    RN/Paramedic on a Rig?

    Murse901 replied to Zalan's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for that, but that's all just speculation at this point. Even if "very little" changes for NREMT-P, their program may need to be reviewed by NREMT and may need to be modified after the...

    CPNE DATE

    Murse901 replied to crazywoman's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I passed in Mansfield 9/24-9/26. The CA and CE's were great. The facility itself is very nice. Can't say much about the nursing staff as I had almost no interaction with them. I can't compare it to...
