  1. Excelsior Credit By Exam

    SnowballDVM replied to madtexter's topic in Excelsior College

    I did all the reading, highlighted, and took notes. I didn't do any practice exams. I didn't know about SG101 until I'd finished all the nursing theory exams, but even if I'd used that resource, I...

  2. Nurse Nina Reunited with Her Precious Bentley

    SnowballDVM replied to blondy2061h's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Too bad the Spanish authorities killed the nurse's dog Excalibur. I'm glad the Dallas authorities were smarter, and Bentley and Ms. Pham are reunited, and both in good

  4. RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

    SnowballDVM replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

  5. I want to quit!!!!!

    SnowballDVM replied to ChaeF's topic in General Students

    Aw, what a sweet way to honor your grandmother! Very thoughtful. I would definitely want to finish my bachelor's degree if I were you. Either in some kind of science, depending on what you've...

  6. CPNE workshops

    SnowballDVM replied to UmFarrah's topic in Excelsior College

    Thank you! Those are much closer for me, and if the one in Indy is more expensive, that might be made up for by the fact that I could drive there instead of

  7. I want to quit!!!!!

    SnowballDVM replied to ChaeF's topic in General Students

    Have you talked to a career counsellor? If you are this miserable two years in it's not going to get better. You must have a pretty good bunch of courses under your belt already, that could be...

  8. Altered Mental Status- a surprise diagnosis

    SnowballDVM replied to Stcroix's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget Idi Amin Dada, one of the most brutal dictators and mass murderers in history. Some of his mental instability may have been due to untreated syphilis, although he was, at bottom, a truly...

  9. Ebola- Quarantine/Quasi quarantine Yes or No?

    SnowballDVM replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Overall, that's a good article, but they might want to update it and NOT use Craig Spencer as an example to follow, since even after he got sick he lied about his activities, including being out and...

  10. How can I be more supportive to my girlfriend in nursing school?

    SnowballDVM replied to msgtpick's topic in General Students

    I have to say I agree with llg. You sound like a great guy, and the fact that you sought out a nurses' forum to ask your questions shows that you are thoughtful and considerate. I'd say incredibly...

  11. The Long and Winding Road...

    SnowballDVM replied to wileyc's topic in General Students

    Congratulations and good luck! I'm a very non-traditional student too. It can be tough, but you can do

  12. What to do about a hyperverbal classmate?

    SnowballDVM replied to spaghetina's topic in General Students

    I was going to say definitely do NOT apologize, since Ms. Chatty is the one who is being rude, not you. However, since you said she might be the type of person who would throw others under the bus,...

  13. CPNE workshops

    SnowballDVM replied to UmFarrah's topic in Excelsior College

    Are there other workshops besides those in Atlanta and Miami? Those are a bit of a distance for me, but if they are the only options, I would make the

  14. CPNE Date!

    SnowballDVM replied to SVT511's topic in Excelsior College

    Oh wow six months! Thanks for the info, I was hoping it was more like

  15. CPNE Date!

    SnowballDVM replied to SVT511's topic in Excelsior College

    Congratulations! Five months? Yikes! As an aside, how long a study/prep period after FCCA is recommended for the CPNE? I'm already doing some NCLEX review in my spare time and plan to take it...

  16. Esme Needs Your Prayers and Well Wishes

    SnowballDVM replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Get well soon,

  17. Failed FCCA again

    SnowballDVM replied to lizzyreg's topic in Excelsior College

    Can you pinpoint any areas of weakness? Like "I need to figure out a better way to look at the select-all-that-apply questions"? Have you contacted any of the Excelsior instructors for help? They...

  18. New to the concept of nursing and Excelsior... Help!

    SnowballDVM replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior College

    Aw, thanks! I am currently trying to reorganize my coffee table so I can stack all of my FCCA and NCLEX books neatly. This project has been greatly helped by one of my cats, who shoved a bunch of...

  19. *rolling my eyes*

    SnowballDVM replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I just want to commend whomever came up with "Dr. Nancy Snydermoron". Fits the situation

  21. I only held his hand

    SnowballDVM replied to motay68's topic in General Students

    Great job! You really helped that

  22. New to the concept of nursing and Excelsior... Help!

    SnowballDVM replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior College

    There's an old but still going thread in the General Nursing section of the forums about how some students have gotten in trouble for using Quizlet; apparently some school test-bank questions show up...

  23. New to the concept of nursing and Excelsior... Help!

    SnowballDVM replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior College

    Oh, thanks for the tip! I didn't know about SG101 until this week, and all of my texts are used so many don't have the CDs and those that do are usually out-of-date, and I was too cheap to take the...

  24. CPNE study buddy in NYc

    SnowballDVM replied to natnat122's topic in Excelsior College

    Hi HealthKibitz, I would register for both at once. A lot of the reading is reading already done for other courses, so a lot of it is review, you're just applying the material more. You can't...

  25. New to the concept of nursing and Excelsior... Help!

    SnowballDVM replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior College

    If the Pearson printout provided specific areas where you got stuff wrong (rather than telling you the actual questions you missed, because I can see why they don't want to risk those getting out), it...
