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

    SnowballDVM replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior College

    You're welcome! It sounds like you have a good handle on things. I do miss the classmate interaction, I think that's an issue, but I'm not sure how EC could make it better. The online chat boards...

  2. *rolling my eyes*

    SnowballDVM replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    See, this is why I don't think the CDC really knows what they are doing here either. So the bleep what if Ms. Vinson's temperature wasn't that high? SHE'D BEEN CARING FOR A PATIENT WITH EBOLA!!!!...

  3. 2nd Ebola Healthcare Worker visited Akron/Cleveland after Exposure

    SnowballDVM replied to Roman1's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Apparently she is from Ohio, and is getting married soon, and returned home to plan her

  4. 2nd Ebola Healthcare Worker visited Akron/Cleveland after Exposure

    SnowballDVM replied to Roman1's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Gah. I take everything the media says with huge handfuls of salt, but if those allegations are true,

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

    SnowballDVM replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior College

    HopefulRN7, I was in a somewhat similar boat to yours WRT caring for parents. I didn't get going on taking exams for longer than I'd anticipated, because both of my parents had health issues at the...

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

    SnowballDVM replied to Neversaydiemedic's topic in Excelsior College

    I'm not sure whether this will be the same now that Pearson is charging for administering the exams, but when I registered for mine (I finished in June, so before Pearson started charging an...

  7. Had to code my best friends husband

    SnowballDVM replied to wannabeagreatRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm just so sorry that all of you are suffering so much. Denial is such a powerful thing. I know a lot of us tend to minimize our health problems, thinking, oh maybe it will go away on its own, or...

  8. Course discussion topic. HELP!!

    SnowballDVM replied to Kasey33334's topic in School, College Programs

    Hmmm...interesting questions! I would say for one, if it's a "scholarly" discussion as opposed to a "friendly" or "social network" discussion, that it's important to stay on-topic and not wander off...

  9. FCCA's - separately or both at once?

    SnowballDVM replied to MedicFireRN's topic in Excelsior College

    THANK YOU (yes, I am shouting) for the SG101 info. Being a dinosaur who still prefers textbooks and highlighters, I had no idea about this! I was so sick of doing the same self-check questions over...

  10. FCCA's - separately or both at once?

    SnowballDVM replied to MedicFireRN's topic in Excelsior College

    I'm taking the 274A final this week and really, REALLY wish I'd done both courses at once. Oh

  11. Nursing Project Help

    SnowballDVM replied to towski92's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey Suckitupbuttercup, I'm trying to reply to your PM, but I can't do so until I have 15 "quality posts". I will send the reply as soon as I can. towski92, apologies for the hijack. FWIW I like the...

  12. UCLA RN to Paramedic Bridge

    SnowballDVM replied to EMT6530's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not sure it's worth that amount of money. My paramedic course was about $3,000. I'm now finishing up nursing school (I hope!) and the academics of the paramedic course were much easier than the...

  13. I want to be an RN but I'm worried

    SnowballDVM replied to ra_co's topic in General Nursing

    I am a veterinarian. Some animals seem to appreciate the care we vets provide, but a lot do not. Cats can be especially entertaining, and they have lots of weapons available, including some very...

  14. Had to code my best friends husband

    SnowballDVM replied to wannabeagreatRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    How horrible. I really admire you for your bluntness in trying to convince your friend to see a doctor, for your response when you heard the scanner call, for your presence of mind during the code,...

  15. Worried about the rejection from program

    SnowballDVM replied to iDrumKing's topic in General Students

    Yes. You are being FAR too hard on yourself. Please give yourself a break. All you can do is your best. If you get accepted to the program for next fall, then great! If you don't, then regroup...

  16. Need help coping with death of a loved one while in nursing school

    SnowballDVM replied to lobatse's topic in General Students

    I'm very sorry for the loss of your mother, and I'm glad you were able to attend her funeral. Best wishes for the rest of the semester, and your career as a

  17. Lexapro: Do you have any experience?

    SnowballDVM replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in General Students

    One of my friends was in a situation somewhat similar to yours...wife, mother of two teenagers (one with special needs), works full-time in a stressful job, feeling extremely stressed and...

  18. Can I become a Nurse at 40?

    SnowballDVM replied to amoy36's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is my first comment on this site. You are NOT too old. I just turned 52 and am hoping/planning to finish everything for my RN early next summer. I don't know if anyone will hire me, and I...
