  1. has anyone taken micro through ec??

    MedictoRN replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No, I didn't I was going too but it was way to daunting a task for me to sort out what information was and wasn't important. I took mine from ccconline.org. It was very straight forward and I learned...

  2. I was totally dissed last night

    MedictoRN replied to Law of Fives's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I assume you have some sort of secret proof? Because, regardless of the general impression conveyed by this thread, all but 4-5 of the 50 states accept EC grads without question, and that is a FACT....

  3. I was totally dissed last night

    MedictoRN replied to Law of Fives's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Perhaps when you read these post you should not jump to the conclusion that we are all insulting the traditional programs. THAT is not accurate either. I have personally seen and heard of many a...

  4. I was totally dissed last night

    MedictoRN replied to Law of Fives's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I suppose if I had to spend countless hours with some nasty clinical coordintator standing over me, making me feel stupid, while at the same time only instructing and never really having a true final...

    MedictoRN replied to gidget21608's topic in Online Distance Learning

    According to the EC website job postings, one must have there MSN and be licensed as an RN in the state they are testing people in. So the idea of flying nursing across the county to test people...

    MedictoRN replied to clockwatcher's topic in Online Distance Learning

    MedictoRN replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

  9. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    MedictoRN replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The key word in that is RUMOR. There have never been any substantiated claims. They reason that EC doesn't allow CMA's or Surg Techs in the program is due ultimately to the power of the nursing...

  10. Yet another excelsior college question r/t reciprocity in Calif

    MedictoRN replied to Alibaba's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think the whole point is we all have or will take the SAME NCLEX exam. And the point of this exam is to give reasonable certainty that those that pass it are capable of competent practice. If they...

  11. Any Michigan Excelsior nursing students and graduates

    MedictoRN replied to Kashlee's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No, they are bright enough to understand that if you set up a licensing exam, it's purpose is to resonably predict acceptable performance, so don't put extra obsticles in the way for purely political...

  13. If BON accepted my ADN but not my BSN?

    MedictoRN replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This might be a dumb question but what say does a BON have on a licensed ADN RN who gets there BSN. They can't take away your license so what difference does it

  15. Are EC Science Courses Recognized By Other Universities?

    MedictoRN replied to deannicholas's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was told by EC that there was no travel involved in the BSN program and that everything was either online classes or exam just like the NC exams? Perhaps I've been lied

  16. Are EC Science Courses Recognized By Other Universities?

    MedictoRN replied to deannicholas's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Why not the BSN through

  17. EC Background check

    MedictoRN replied to bjsmi27's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just found on the EC site that there is a background check that can be completed in 3-5 days instead of 8-12 WEEKS. MyBackgroundCheck.com is the web page it seems to be about $12.00. This seems...

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

    MedictoRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    A lot of programs don't allow paramedics to bridge not to mention Medical assistants, rad techs, respiratory therapist. Isn't the whole point to study enough to pass the exams and then the CPNE....

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

    MedictoRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You might be surprised to know that those "short trained" EMT's have a pretty comparable knowledge base to that of an LPN and certainly have the assessment skills to back them up. Let's not forget...

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

    MedictoRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It been my experience that nurses that just graduated from a traditional RN program need at least a good 6 months before they are ready to be on their own without an experienced nurse to mentor them....

    MedictoRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

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

    MedictoRN replied to luv4nursing's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Just remember when making your decision, you are the judge of your abilities. If you are capable of taking the test and passing the CPNE you can do the EC program. No hospital cares where you got...

    MedictoRN replied to Trixie99's topic in Online Distance Learning
