   glamgalRN replied to healthlink97's topic in Ohio University

   I've read a couple posts about global health. My advisor didn't mention this class when telling me what remaining classes I had left. Is it a nursing course? I already have a bachelors so I'm hoping OU accepted one of my courses instead of me taki...

5. easiest and most difficult nursing class at OU

   glamgalRN posted a topic in Ohio University

   I was thinking about taking two nursing classes at some point this fall to be able to finish up sooner. I have already taken four nursing classes. However, I think this would be nearly impossible if they were two challenging classes. I am wonderin...

10. How fast is too fast to transfuse blood?

    glamgalRN replied to RNdiva505's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital policy is it must go through a 20 gauge or larger IV. I did run blood through a 22g once (got an order from the MD for that) when I was a new nurse and it took forever to go through and I think someone said there's a chance of hemolysis ...
