  2. CPNE THIS W/E

    changeofpaceRN replied to MauraRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can do this! I choose not to remember the stress I felt before the CPNE but know this.. it is just like you practiced. Sing to yourself if you must. Talk out loud when you do the labs. Take...

    Sorry to hear the news but at least you know you can do this and it wasn't as bad as you imagined! Good luck the next

  4. EC info from North Carolina BON

    changeofpaceRN replied to bnc1143's topic in Online Distance Learning

    THIS makes sense.. I can understand the selection process if they have a bunch of applications. I didn't realize they had that many applications a year- yikes.. any place would be competitive with...

  5. EC info from North Carolina BON

    changeofpaceRN replied to bnc1143's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If the NC BON recognizes EC and hospitals are purposely avoiding hiring EC grads, that sounds like a big lawsuit to me. I'm not one for legal avenues but if I get discriminated against I wouldn't be...

  6. How long did it take you for LPN-RN through EC?

    changeofpaceRN replied to FloridaGirl23's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I didn't use any outside company for my Excelsior education.. if I needed extra study materials, I found them on ebay and called it a

  7. How long did it take you for LPN-RN through EC?

    changeofpaceRN replied to FloridaGirl23's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took 11 months (was only enrolled that long) but knocked out the first test while I waited on admission into the program. I had also completed all my pre-reqs before I enrolled. I had about a 4.5...

  8. Stressed! Needing encoragement!

    changeofpaceRN replied to KellyCCRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Are you taking off any time to relax before the exam? I took off 5 days and that helped me but I know now everyone can do that. I also didn't take a workshop and thought the CPNE is very doable...

  9. How can I make myself look more attractive?

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

    I agree with extra certifications ect.. take additional CEU's that would appeal to your focus. Look into local job fairs.. usually they do interviews on the spot and they have them every few months...

  10. The ROPE method will get you in trouble at the wound station during the CPNE!

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

    I didn't really do the rope method but I did something very similar.. the parachute method just doesn't work for me. As I was unfolding the gauze, I put it all in one hand and took out the an end...

  14. Distance Learning - I'm all ears....

    changeofpaceRN replied to raiderz1973's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Contact ISU and talk to an admissions rep, they are very helpful. I considered them but in the end, it all came down to cost. I went with Excelsior but from your post, it sounds like you live in CA...

  15. MONEY

    changeofpaceRN replied to tbone641's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ditto.. I'm picking up extra hours. I know it's hard to come up with money when you don't have any but maybe see if you can put up half and ask your dad for the rest maybe? Then you won't have as...

  17. Recent EC grads.. a little poll

    changeofpaceRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    What date (or about what date) were you complete with all your requirements to graduate? When was your graduation date? When did you get your papers to apply to the BON and get your ATT? When did you...

  18. Please help! Need advice.

    changeofpaceRN replied to AFQN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would wait and get back into your current program.. by the time you did do EC, it would be about 1-1.5 years until your done (I believe you have to take all the nursing concept exams regardless of...

  19. Recent EC grads.. a little poll

    changeofpaceRN replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did request that dept and the person who answered the phone had an instant attitude before I even said anything and it sounded like she was chomping away on a sandwich. I will try again and I'll...

  20. losing motivation and confidence :(

    changeofpaceRN replied to Kelseyj79's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I too think you might have too much on your plate. Planning a wedding is very fun yet stressful in itself and if I were you, I would enjoy these last few weeks (the wedding goes so fast you want to...

  23. Recent EC grads.. a little poll

    changeofpaceRN replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    So I called EC and the person I got on the phone must have been mad at life because I got no where today

  24. Recent EC grads.. a little poll

    changeofpaceRN replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hmm can you clarify something? You sent a letter to EC requesting your transcripts be sent to the VA BON? I thought they were automatically sent (like my LPN school did) and I thought I had asked EC...

    changeofpaceRN replied to Baloney Amputation's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm sorry to hear the news- it no way shows the type of nurse you are and I'm glad you realize that. It sucks about the mistakes but they are just that- mistakes ( I almost did the same with the meds...
