  1. ISU or Excelsior? Pros and Cons ... ?

    changeofpaceRN replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Just make sure your state is okay with either program. The only gripe I had with ISU is the cost. I can do EC for about 1/3- 1/2 the cost of ISU and I have all my general credits completed. I had...

  2. I am so AFRAID about going to UTICA in December!

    changeofpaceRN replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    One thing I know of the northern states that are used to snow is this: They know how to clear it!!!!!! My husband is from Buffalo and we went up there many times for the holidays and they have those...

  3. Health Differences Across the lifespan 2 advice

    changeofpaceRN replied to rmbt418's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you did better on the practice exams, that is a very good sign! I failed the 1st time with a "D" and I studied my butt off and got an "A" on the retake.. I think the thing that helped me most was...

  4. International School of Nursing out of FL

    changeofpaceRN replied to joker523's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Suddenly I wish I was single with no kids or family for just a minute so I can live on an island and go to school (I love St. Kitts).. but then I snap back into reality and know that I had to do EC in...

  5. International School of Nursing out of FL

    changeofpaceRN replied to joker523's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Interesting concept but I'm always wary of anything "overseas". The primary location is in Haiti. I guess if you know of people who did the program than that is 1 thing but I'm always skeptical-...

  6. Not the right agency for me? Private duty nursing

    changeofpaceRN posted a topic in Home Health

    So I work for a staffing and HH care agency. They sent me out on an orientation (gave me a whopping 1 case to choose from) and I went on it. I come back and they asked how I liked it. I said...

  7. Well, rats.

    changeofpaceRN replied to Lunah's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for the FYI.. I too went to UMCP and I wonder if they won't be accepting mine when I apply :-( Was it because the classes are old or because they don't recognize UMD's classes? Good

  8. 10 Bucks An Hour For Agency Orientation

    changeofpaceRN replied to Aviationurse's topic in Agency Nurses

    I got paid $10/ hr for each orientation I've gone too and that's been several! Since you are shadowing, I'm assuming there will be no hands on~ more like walking around, introducing yourself and...

  9. Please Help...what Should I Do?

    changeofpaceRN replied to josinda421's topic in Online Distance Learning

    MD is rather small and is bordered by many states.. is it possible to work in another state but live in MD? What about moving all together? I'm from MD and the PA border wasn't that far from me.....

  10. CPNE locations

    changeofpaceRN replied to joker523's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't have 1st hand experience yet (but hope to soon) and I think it's like everything else.. just pray you get someone with a great soothing personality and not someone who had a bad night or hates...

  12. just scheduled NC1 and need advise on studying

    changeofpaceRN replied to crazdmomof4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    My best advice is to start with the study guide. Read through it. As you get to stuff you know you know, cross it out so it's one less thing to reread. Go through all the topics and see where you...

  13. someone pls tell me what to do

    changeofpaceRN replied to it's hot in phoenix's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I haven't taken my CPNE yet- don't even have a date! However, I can say that EC does offer a documentation and careplan class that you can take whenever- have you looked into that?. I believe it's...

  14. Excelsior application process

    changeofpaceRN replied to Murse901's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I agree with pp.. go ahead and study for the next exam so you don't have to wait longer. It doesn't matter if they evaluate it now or later.. the test will be the same no matter when you take it so...

  15. Passed NC1!

    changeofpaceRN replied to Lexxie's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Good job! I'd suggest signing up for some yahoo EC groups and looking through their "files" They have some great notes and some practice tests to supplement your

    changeofpaceRN replied to ivanh3's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thank you!!! I want to be a FNP and was looking into their program.. I love how they can make the EC classes transform into their own... From an AS, it is taking you 3 years of study? Full time for...

    changeofpaceRN replied to Up2nogood RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

  18. ISU or EC

    changeofpaceRN replied to saltwaterstat's topic in Online Distance Learning

    WOW.. you make a great point! I'm enrolled in EC and I was thinking about the same thing~ how come my LPN schooling doesn't count in any of this? Or my work hrs.. the hospitals around here will award...

    changeofpaceRN replied to FocusRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm from MD so that's nice to know! Don't think I would move back but I like that the BON's might be turning in the RIGHT

  20. Is it only a matter of time?

    changeofpaceRN replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you look at many state requirements, you will see that some require you to work a certain amount of hours as an RN before they will endorse you and others require you to take extra clinical hours...

    changeofpaceRN replied to jenniferlynn98's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, as pp said, make sure you are doing the right curriculum. I am under the "new" one and our tests are called different things although they contain most of the same stuff. Do you know which one...

    changeofpaceRN replied to mondragon's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'd be interested! I JUST started studying for the CPNE so I'm not even at the lab practice stations yet. I was still flipping through materials and writing down critical elements. I live over by...
