  2. Is it only a matter of time?

    pedinurse05 replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I agree. I am thankful that i could do this program but disappointed in all the restrictions. I would not feel secure doing the program. When I enrolled there were very few stipulations--then the...

    pedinurse05 replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Online Distance Learning

    For you it is ok...the point he was making is that things can change at anytime....and they do. Things could even change for future students in your state! I have seen it happen. It could happen in...

  4. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    pedinurse05 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    I think it is reasonable to say that we should not just point fingers at boards of nursing, but also at Excelsior. With all the changes to boards, Excelsior needs to make sure every applicant is...

  5. Is it only a matter of time?

    pedinurse05 replied to David Offenbaker's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Actually, I do think it is only a matter of time before states no longer license graduates with non-traditional clinicals. I don't think they have a problem with the theory portions being on line or...

  6. How to validate fired RN status?

    pedinurse05 replied to crux's topic in General Nursing

    Like the other poster said, all you need to do is go to the california board of registered nurse web site and do a license search. I do not think they can just take her FL license without notifying...

    pedinurse05 replied to beginning's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, California set a deadline. I can't remember the exact date but it was in 2003. It basically said that all students who were enrolled by this date and kept enrollment active could endorse in or...

  8. GA BON no longer accepting Excelsior education; Speak up Cont. Updates!!

    pedinurse05 replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Hopefully, the GBON will compromise with a deadline date that allows graduates and enrolled students a chance to finish and get licensed--especially those who graduated before the law was changed....

  9. Excelsior Grads - Do You Think Online Nursing Is In Jeopardy? What State Are You In?

    pedinurse05 replied to beginning's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am in California. I enrolled before the cut off date for California back in 2003 and graduated in 2005. I had no problem finding a great job at a very respected teaching hospital. I have worked...

    pedinurse05 replied to xoemmylouox's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  12. Any tips for Jacksonville online student?

    pedinurse05 replied to UM Review RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Instructors respond quickly and navigating the site and streaming videos are easy as well.....I took 3 BSN classes through JU. My problem was this--cramming too much info into a few short weeks and...

    Thomas Edison state college in New Jersey has their own test for stats. It is $150 credit (the exam is 3 credits). If you go to their web site and look under ways to earn credits you will see that...

  15. Statistics?

    pedinurse05 replied to lvnandmomx3's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took the EC stats via their on-line course. It wasn't too bad. I don't know of any exams for stats...i think you will have to take the course. You could maybe try a community college if you don't...

  16. St. Joseph's, Syracuse, NY---my CPNE test site---

    pedinurse05 replied to dessyrell's topic in Online Distance Learning

    pedinurse05 replied to dessyrell's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I graduated Excelsior a few years ago but i was an LPN prior. I went to the EC CPNE workshop with an RT. She had taken the CPNE before and failed all of her labs. She said when she did her patients...

  20. How Bad Is The Charting???

    pedinurse05 replied to deniseS's topic in Home Health

    The charting is a lot! I tried HH for 2 months and said this is not for me! I am back doing 12 hour hospital shifts. I think it really depends on the agency and you. The patient interaction in HH...
