Has anyone been through the excelsior paramedic to RN recently? I wanted to know how difficult it was to make it on your own. My local college has a bridge but I'm one course short of entry and I'm not gonna make it. Don't want to sit around for a year. The links
How hard is the material?
Do they help you pass or just give you an opportunity to take the test.
Is the material they give you consistent with whats on the test?
I'm about to contact the nursing board because there is extra "preceptor time" required.
Theres a stigma surrounding online colleges too. Assuming I complete the ADN, am I at any kind of disadvantage for having gotten it online? Can I still get a job as a traveling nurse?
The reason I started looking if you wanna know.
I get paid 15 dollars an hour. I sometimes get offered five dollars more per hour when they are short.
I then saw that nurses were getting $15 dollars on top of what they already make (more than 15 dollars an hour I'm sure) per hour. The only thing medics are not allowed to do is start heparin and shoot insulin.
While I appreciate being allowed to do more than push patients to different floors, I would much rather be being paid double what I currently make.
The only thing I get out of working there is experience with new drugs/casts/caths (sigh). Learn alotta neat stuff. I can make 5 more dollars just jumping on the truck tho. And some of those nurses will run you ragged.
