   lou_tango replied to **All Heart RN**'s topic in Ohio

   Thanks, that is reassuring to hear. Like you, I already have experience as a PCA and have a previous bachelor's degree in another field. Plus my instructor at CSCC is helping me get a job at OSU now as a PCA so I hope that will earn me some brownie p...

2. Help!... OSUMC RN Internship/Residency Graduates

   lou_tango replied to **All Heart RN**'s topic in Ohio

   For those of you who applied to the OSU internship programs and got a job...do you have ADN degrees or BSN degrees? Do you know if your newly hired coworkers have ADNs or BSNs? I'm concerned about graduating from a 2 year school and not being able to...

   lou_tango replied to msteeleart's topic in Ohio

   Guess I'm not the only night owl here! Thanks so much for the info. Although I'm naturally still worried about the application, I feel much better after having heard your story. I have a similar circumstance. 3.3 previous GPA, expect to have about 3....

   lou_tango replied to msteeleart's topic in Ohio

   msteeleart, Would you mind sharing some of your grades and test scores with us? I plan on applying this fall for the spring 2011 class and I'm just wondering if I have what it takes to get in. Would you mind telling me... cumulative GPA? (previous co...

5. CSCC online track admissions

   lou_tango replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio

   Agreed. I'm taking Chem 113 now and haven't had a general chem course since 2002, but I find this course more pleasant than expected. Still, it worries me that the influx of 2nd career students are going to get the online track spots with degrees tha...

6. CSCC online track admissions

   lou_tango replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio

   I read on the CSCC website that "the HESI score reflects a necessary reading, science, and math knowledge foundation to be successful in the Nursing Program." It doesn't sound like that would include anatomy and physiology. For those of you who have...

8. CSCC online track admissions

   lou_tango replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio

   I'm curious...if you already work at Mt. Carmel and can take advantage of those tuition benefits, then why not just go to school there? Isn't the accelerated 2nd degree program only 13 months there?

9. CSCC online track admissions

   lou_tango replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio

   Thanks for the great responses! Unfortunately I am not willing to move Cleveland. Not a big fan of that city and my fiancee will be starting classes at OSU in the fall anyway. I love and miss Columbus and that's where I want to be. Can't wait to move...

10. CSCC online track admissions

    lou_tango replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio

    By the way, I can't remember who, but I know another poster in another thread mentioned that CSCC told her any qualified student will get accepted to the online track on a first-come, first-served basis. Are you sure your friend didn't submit the onl...

11. CSCC online track admissions

    lou_tango replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio

    I agree about the advisers! I spent 1 semester at UT, 1 year at OSU-Lima and the remainder at OSU in Columbus for my first degree. Never did I have such a problem with advisers! When I called during the 4th week of autumn quarter at CSCC just to get ...

    Hey all...I've been searching the forum but can't find a direct answer. For those of you in the online track at Columbus State Community College or those who have recently applied for the online track at CSCC... Is it true that admission is based on ...

13. Did I cause my patient to die faster?

    lou_tango replied to lou_tango's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, thank you ALL so much for the kind words and reassurance. After reading a few replies yesterday after I posted, I finally broke down and cried because I felt like I never had a chance to deal with my emotions about my first pt death until then. ...

14. Did I cause my patient to die faster?

    lou_tango posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a CNA on a medical/surgical floor and am in dire need of clarification (from a nurse please) of what just happened at work last night. I work nights, came on the floor and got to work right away. I got a walking report from the 2nd shift CNA. On...

15. Issues placing a bedpan

    lou_tango replied to shippoRN's topic in Student Assist

    I realize this post is a little old, but for anyone coming across it looking for advice, here's another tip. When using the rolling technique to get the pt on the bedpan, always roll the pt away from you, then roll back onto the pan. Then go to the o...
