1. Ohio U students--Am I crazy? I want to finish! Taking 2 1/2 classes at once!

   mimib,rn replied to fostercatmom's topic in Ohio University

   I know you are trying to finish as quick as possible, but that looks like a miserable summer! Due to where those nursing classes fall on the rotation, I would still try to get them done in the summer. My suggestion would be to drop the 15 week chil...

2. Mandatory OT

   mimib,rn replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

   I think it depends on labor laws in your state. I practice in PA, so there are laws that help protect nurses from mandatory overtime. PASNAP | Pennsylvania’s Law Against Mandatory Overtime

3. Mandatory OT

   mimib,rn replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

   Mandatory overtime is when they have no other choice but to make you stay later than your assigned shift. You probably are signing a voluntary overtime slip that indicate both parties are in agreement to the OT. One day I was supposed to leave at 3...

4. Roll Call 4580 Leadership, Starting 3/25/13

   mimib,rn replied to NBanasz1's topic in Ohio University

   I disagree with using box 28.1 to figure out staffing using the given FTE number in the assignment. This calculation tells you how many FTEs are required. Being that the FTE number is given to us in the assignment, this formula does nothing to help...

5. Roll Call 4580 Leadership, Starting 3/25/13

   mimib,rn replied to NBanasz1's topic in Ohio University

   I think I've found a formula to help convert FTEs into person shifts. Page 16 shows how to calculate total direct FTE hours into shifts per day. I don't think it accounts for nonproductive time. It has a lot of useful information beyond the FTE ca...

6. Roll Call 4580 Leadership, Starting 3/25/13

   mimib,rn replied to NBanasz1's topic in Ohio University

   I've found how to find the FTEs using the equation, but I am still unable to figure out staffing patterns using the provided FTEs. The equations in the book show you how much staff you need based on care hours or average daily census but this is not...

8. Cross Cultural course?

   mimib,rn replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Ohio University

   There is a new cross cultural perspective course for Spring 2013. Introduction to Global Health in a 5 week format. This was not listed initially but is now showing up in the Academic Outreach program.

9. Community Health Fall 12

   mimib,rn replied to cincinursemary's topic in Ohio University

   I agree. I copy and paste the text reference rather than formatting it each week and just got dinged for week 2's assignment. I guess I'll get points off for week 3 as well, as my feedback for week 2 was not provided until this past Monday (week 4!...

10. Community Health Fall 12

    mimib,rn replied to cincinursemary's topic in Ohio University

    This is my 8th class at OU and my 5th nursing course. I'm also in Business Communications through the end of fall and will be taking Diversity next month. I work at Elkins Park Hospital. Do you work locally as well? It's great that I've found so...

    I'm in Fox Chase too. My co-worker told me about this site and it has gotten me through several courses already!

12. PSY 1110 Stats

    mimib,rn replied to michelemybell's topic in Ohio University

    I just got my grade today and I was pleasantly surprised. I completed module 8 last night and it seemed like one of the easiest modules so far. One more week and its over. Thank goodness!

13. PRCMJ 325-Business Communication Fall Semester

    mimib,rn replied to kayarm213's topic in Ohio University

    I do agree that they pick at little things on our written assignments, but I knew that was going to be the case after our first quizzes on grammar. Compared to the nursing assignments, these are a piece of cake. Broken up into 15 weeks, I think the...
