  1. CPNE wait time

    DoubleblessedRN posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I sent in my CPNE application a few weeks ago and have yet to receive my date. I have heard that the wait time varies by geographic location. If so, does anybody know what the wait time is for the...

    DoubleblessedRN replied to LucasRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Congratulations, Chris! I was wondering how you did. I also attended Lynn's workshop. It was pretty helpful? I sent in my app a few weeks ago and I was notified that it was complete and I have yet...

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Ms.RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I too had completed 50% of a traditioanl nursing program. I submitted an official transcript and also day-by-day modules. Excelsior did not grant me credit for any of them because my course content...

  5. Should I apply for a job at this time?

    DoubleblessedRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a paramedic and I will probably be taking the CPNE through Excelsior College sometime this fall. I have never worked in the hospital, only in the ambulance. I would like to apply for a job at a...

    DoubleblessedRN replied to bumpkittynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow..I have never even heard of this, but it makes sense! I'm going to read the article that Karen left a link

  8. Seeking Narcotics or Chronic Pain?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to samaletta's topic in General Nursing

    This is a great post. I'm not a nurse yet, but I have a condition which is known to cause severe pain. Chronic pain is devastating. I haven't gone to ER's for pain because I have been to the same...

  9. Inspiring stories

    DoubleblessedRN replied to googabin02's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I'd like to tell a story of my own. I'm not a nurse (yet) but I'm a paramedic and I have some very basic knowledge of critical care. (Not so much peds, though.) When my daughter was 7 weeks old she...

  11. I am lost!!!

    DoubleblessedRN replied to michigan mommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you are referrring to the NET test if you are a pre-nursing student. The NET is the Nurse Entrance Test which tests your math, reading and test taking skills. It is a standard test which...

  12. OCC nursing school

    DoubleblessedRN replied to Ms.RN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    To the OP: Sorry to say this, but it's like that everywhere. Is it fair? No. You are right, your clinical grade is usually the instructor's subjective opinion. A friend of mine, who doesn't atend...

  13. I HATE this!!!!

    DoubleblessedRN replied to BellaBloo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If it is the science of it that fascinates you, then I don't think nursing is really for you. A very large portion of it is caring. You need to genuinely care about your patients, interacting with...

  14. Paramedic to RN

    DoubleblessedRN replied to ERFirefighter's topic in Emergency

    I don't know about your area specifically, but there are many colleges in the US that have a bridge program. There is one in my state, but it is an hour and a half away. It still requires...

  15. Say something or not?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to pannie's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely say something to the Dr. If not him, then the office manager. I would tell him exactly what you posted here. I also think it would be a good idea to keep record of all incidents...

  16. Nurses as Patients: What was your best/worst experience as a patient?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    My worst: I was 34 weeks pregnant with my twins when I ruptured. I was in a delivery room awaiting a c/s first thing in the am, because I had eaten 2 hrs prior to rupturing and the babies weren't in...

  17. just got back from lynne's workshop!

    DoubleblessedRN replied to LucasRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I also just returned from Lynn's workshop. She uses a no-nonsense approach and basically tells it like it is, using the KISS mneumonic. (keep it simple, stupid) She has examples of correct...

  18. excelsior AS or AAS

    DoubleblessedRN replied to share555's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Seven electives are included in the non-nursing requirements. I believe the AS, you need science courses. In the AAS (which I am enrolled in) they are free electives. I chose this option because I had...

  19. Paramedic to RN transition, easy or hard?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to OnaTrek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I want to work in the ER (obviously) but I have also thought about cardiac cath. I spent one day of a clinical rotation there (I also used to work the road with one of the technicians) and I really...

  20. Paramedic to RN transition, easy or hard?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to OnaTrek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It wasn't that difficult. I just took my last Excelsior exam and I will be attending a CPNE workshop next week. I also went to a traditional ADN program for a year, but withdrew for several reasons...

  21. does being a paramedic complement an EDRN?

    DoubleblessedRN replied to bjr3645's topic in Emergency

    Most paramedics have little to no problem with nursing school. I was in a traditional ADN program but enrolled in Excelsior college for several reasons I won't get into right now. For me, the most...

    I'm not a nurse (yet) but I was a paramedic when I had RNY done in 2000 and lost 110#. I was off for 12 weeks, but it should have been only 8. (I had to have another surgery that was GYN related...

  24. 18 y/o RN!

    DoubleblessedRN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Good for her. I hope she is mature fore her age and doesn't party too hard! I know of a few young nurses (21-24) who frequently go out clubbing and doing some wild stuff. When I was 14 I was pretty...

    DoubleblessedRN replied to jbrekson's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I belong to a Yahoo group called "freehelpexcelsiorstudents." It is free and you have to give the owner a statement as to why you want to join, then s/he has to approve you. (It shouldn't be a...
