  1. Excelsior transfer

    pedinurse05 replied to Firemedic7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Dutchgirl is right, you should have no trouble getting into RN-BSN programs. Most just want you to be licensed in the state of the college. In California, you may have some difficulty....several of...

  2. CPNE ... What is so Horrific/Difficult about it ... ?

    pedinurse05 replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The guy in our group who failed self reported that he studied about a week....this would be cake for him because he had been an LPN for years. You get these kind of CPNE students. I must say that I...

  3. LPN relocated to Orlando

    pedinurse05 replied to kellbell1's topic in Florida Nursing

    I suggest these two homecare agnecies.. 1. Children First located on Edgewater drive in Winter Park. They have several pediatric cases located throughout the Orlando area. They pay fairly well and...

  4. CPNE ... What is so Horrific/Difficult about it ... ?

    pedinurse05 replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Excelsior college sends you this study guide when you are ready to take the exam. It indeed covered everything I needed to know for the exam. I attended a workshop by the college as well did the...

    pedinurse05 replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, the Board is saying they will allow EC grads after the magic date...but getting clinicals lined up seems to be the tricky part. There are good and bad nurses put out of all nursing students--CA...

  6. CPNE ... What is so Horrific/Difficult about it ... ?

    pedinurse05 replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion of the CPNE, but I stand by my experience being exactly like the study guide portrayed it. My friend took her's a month prior to me and had the SAME experience in...

  7. CPNE ... What is so Horrific/Difficult about it ... ?

    pedinurse05 replied to jasmine7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No, the CPNE is not difficult if you are prepared and have your nerves under control. I prepared about six months...went in prepared and didn't repeat a thing. This test would be a killer if you...

    RN34TX, I moved here to CA in October. I had several hospital job offers and chose the one that suited my interests the most. They sold themselves to me--not me to them. I have had absolutely no...

  9. What can an RN do than an LPN can't?

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

    My unit has no LPN's ot techs...I have never even seen an LPN in the hospital for that matter. I have to agree the notion of "paper pusher" is silly for primary RN's in the hospital. I do primary...

  10. Why Does It Seem That RN's Hate Us and Hospitals Don't Believe In Us??

    pedinurse05 replied to brown eyed girl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sorry, but this is not widely true for everyone. I work with a wonderful bunch of RN's...whom I both respect and look to for advice. This is a two way street good LPN's--not so good LPN's, Good RN's...

  11. Two Things: What are EC Nursing Courses & Books I Got

  12. Terminated for typing a petition

    pedinurse05 replied to cdsable's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    :yeahthat: your client should not hire you a lawyer. Your best bet is to recognize your mistakes and move on before the board takes action (ie, client getting lawyer for you). Nursing is caring--and...

  13. working sick...need advice:)

    pedinurse05 replied to scrmblr's topic in General Nursing

    My MIL went in for knee surgery last year and was taken care of by a nurse who was constantly excusing herself to the bathroom. By the end of the week my MIL was very ill and missed 8 days of...

  14. New to LTC/SNF - Does this sound right?

    pedinurse05 replied to CMLPNnowRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    wow 1:20!!!! that is just too many patients for $16.00/hr! lpn's working for this wage with these ratio's deserve much better! i wouldn't do

  15. Terminated for typing a petition

    pedinurse05 replied to cdsable's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am really sorry about your job. I however would not have engaged in creating and supporting a petition like this (there are always two sides to every story--simply put I would have minded my own...

  16. I Double Dawg Dare You, Do It!

    pedinurse05 replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    I took care of a young college student who suffered a severe spinal injury from a skiing accident and only had minimal use of a few fingers in one hand. Every evening I would go to her dorm room and...

  17. I just took the NCLEX - PN, my thoughts.

    pedinurse05 replied to BigB's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The board of Registered nursing moved not the Vocational board. I think California is just slow with their results...but the move is probably not a factor unless you took RN boards. Hang in there....I...

    Trauma, I also wonder where this hard evidence of rampant patient killings is??? I am here in Cali and have yet to hear of any hard evidence. This thing is beyond a beaten horse. There are a few on...

    Prayers sent upward for you and your family. May God's healing touch you all....

    pedinurse05 replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Medic-- As a fellow EC grad, I can tell you that the process is not always the same for EC grads. Some states require documented clinical/precepted hours in another state to be submitted with your...

  22. From a Prez of a LVN Association

    pedinurse05 replied to Jenny99's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree, LPN's need to be more active in their organizations. RN organizations are strong here in CA...but I rarely hear anything about LPN's

    pedinurse05 replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think LIZZ may be right on the paramedic or other non-LPN EC graduates...you may not be able to endorse into those states. The only way to be sure if a state will accept your EC credentials for...

    pedinurse05 replied to 1dreday's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can work in almost any state. I think California is the only one you absolutely can't unless you enrolled before the big cut date. Other states have restrictions, but don't necessarily not allow...

  25. Why Does It Seem That RN's Hate Us and Hospitals Don't Believe In Us??

    pedinurse05 replied to brown eyed girl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My friend in Ohio started as new RN for $21.00/hr...so I think it depends on the area of Ohio you live. Rn's (even ADN's) take more general classes than LPN's. I took Micro, A&P 1&2, english...
