1. Hijab (headscarf) Nurses

   achiever replied to skybmonkey's topic in General Nursing

   I'm in the Midwest, and we have several nurses and physicians who wear the hijab, and I've never heard any of them complain that they've had problems. I can't imagine anyone would have a problem, although people can be stupid. If I were you I would...

   Hello All: I am a new graduate nurse trying to find my way out there. I'm sure we've all heard more than enough about how the market is right now so, no I'm not here to complain about that one. My question is this. I am sending out my resume for ne...

   achiever replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio

   Sorry about the confusion. You'll be doing hands on stuff that quarter as part of your regular clinical, buy one day instead of being with your clinical group you'll shadow in the OR. Follow a patient from preop, watch their surgical procedure, and...

8. Clinical Sites for CSCC Program

   achiever replied to slmmarsh's topic in Ohio

   Clinical sites for first quarter LTC will probably vary a lot from year to year, but Wexner, McCrory places like that. Then for the med/surg and OB its OSU, and Ohio Health hospitals. For rehab/psych it's OSU, Ohio Health and maybe a few independen...

    achiever replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio

    Most of us had some kind of device, either an ipod or a palm or something. I had a palm and got it before the ipod touch came out. I recommend them (palm, ipod) because they don't have a camera or a phone in them and some units don't allow you to ...

13. What's the deal with Columbus State admission?

    achiever replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio

    That's just not how its done at CSCC I guess. Every student is in some sort of long term care facility, but not necessarily an acute care setting. So quarter one you focus on assessment and therapeutic communication, no med passes. Every other qua...

14. What's the deal with Columbus State admission?

    achiever replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio

    You can absolutely switch to the the online program after you start in traditional. And I'm confused about passing meds. You won't first quarter because everyone is in an ECF. But starting quarter two you'll be passing meds, PO, IM SQ and Push. Mi...

15. Columbus State Jan 06, 2010 applicants

    achiever replied to PaperPencil's topic in Ohio

    I don't think CSCC sends out large envelopes for acceptance, you'll get the other stuff later. I'm in the online program and I graduate in June. There is a lot of interaction with instructors, maybe not face to face with your theory instructor but ...
