    changeofpaceRN replied to *Karma's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah those numbers threw me off.. I didn't know what to think at that point. Then, I started reading some failure posts that were on the extreme side.. many people walk in there without preparing. I...

  2. Any students from the Albany,NY area?

    changeofpaceRN replied to *Karma's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I too wanted to add my piece even though I'm not from NY. Back when I was considering all my options, the CPNE almost kept me from EC. Ask my husband, he will roll his eyes and scream if he ever...

    changeofpaceRN replied to kwvath's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    At my past 2 facilities, they didn't have ID bracelets UNTIL the time for state came around.. then magically, everyone had nice armbands. The residents who had been there awhile had outdated pics in...

  5. Anyone else sent home on first PCS day?

    changeofpaceRN replied to oeue2007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I had 2 adults the first day and the peds on the last. It was the "luck of the draw" so to speak. When you were sitting in the hub room, did you all pick a number or straw or something of that sort?...

  6. Nurses STOP telling me to be a RN ! PLEASE

    changeofpaceRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I had to do the same from the LPN starting point. I had to work to pay bills and the wait list was too long for the RN program. I became a LPN a few years back and I just graduated my RN program...

  7. Flunked the CPNE - some thoughts

    changeofpaceRN replied to oeue2007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ya know... I too felt odd taking out the packet and flipping though but in the beginning, I told the pt that I was a student and I'd be looking at it a lot since I have so much to get done. Every pt...

    changeofpaceRN replied to oeue2007's topic in Online Distance Learning

    changeofpaceRN replied to nurse47's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was a LPN when I took and passed the CPNE. Aside from maintaining my nerves (which I don't have to do at work because I'm not tested there), I thought being a LPN helped in many ways~ vitals,...

  13. Question about online study

    changeofpaceRN replied to *Miss*'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    Many local community colleges have online classes so the majority of your classes can be online (for the AA or AAS portion of a regular degree). The other schools might be well known but they are...

  14. Not Much difference in job duties by a PCA and LPN?

    changeofpaceRN replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    As a current LPN just graduating her RN degree, I can tell you it was easier for me to get into a program to do my LPN-RN then it was to jump right into the RN program. If you are able to do the RN...

  18. Ran out of steam on NC5

    changeofpaceRN replied to tater.jake's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I won't fluff NC 5 because I did end up failing it! I passed every exam and had NEVER failed any exam before. It hit me like a ton of bricks and I let it get me down for 2-3 months. I snapped out...

  24. FCCA ??

    changeofpaceRN replied to Hooked on ER's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The FCCA packet IMO is something that helps prepare you for the CPNE. All the things you should have learned or learned seems to be touched upon. I spent about 3 days on it~4-5 hrs (I couldn't do it...
