1. Question about decannulation sleep study

   RNinCLE replied to zeebee14's topic in Pulmonary

   I don’t know that a smaller trach would be a requirement for a psg to determine decannulation. I’ve often seen an inpatient capped sleep study. The ENT should also be able to determine the potential for decannulation based on those psg results. Much ...

2. Anyone in Chemistry at Clovis this semester?

   RNinCLE replied to RNinCLE's topic in Ohio University

   Course Catalog Download the full course catalog and look up that specific course. That's the description I used for my transfer credit form.

3. Help! I have no clue what classes to take, and my adviser isn't much help. Please!

   RNinCLE replied to Kamphaus5's topic in Ohio University

   I think most people mean to take 4510 alone, with no other nursing courses. It may be ok with a non-nursing course that isn't overly heavy on workload. As far as what you can take together, it really just depends on you. If you are motivated enough ...

4. Help! I have no clue what classes to take, and my adviser isn't much help. Please!

   RNinCLE replied to Kamphaus5's topic in Ohio University

   Yes, you want to start with 4510. After that, you can take them in whatever order you'd like, except to keep 4600 to your last semester. Some people take multiple nursing courses at one time. Others find it too overwhelming. For me, I preferred to ta...

5. nursing students take stna test

   RNinCLE replied to sheirry's topic in Ohio

   I've never taken the exam but I'm curious why you want to. Most hospitals will hire you without it since you've completed your first two semesters of nursing school. Seems like a lot of money for something you may not need. Where would you like to wo...

6. RN to BSN schools

   RNinCLE replied to canchaser530's topic in School Programs

   I know nothing about that school but wanted to say I took an online chemistry class through Clovis Community College that was accepted at Ohio University for my chem requirement. I would highly recommend them if the credit is accepted.

7. working full time during nursing school?

   RNinCLE replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Students

   I worked full-time through my entire program - and had 2 small kids at home - but had a very supportive manager and a very supportive husband. I started out working 3-11, 5 days per week for the first year. The 2nd year, that was not possible, so swi...

8. CC vs UH

   RNinCLE replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio

   I work at the Clinic, and have been in the same department in three different job capacities over the last 4 1/2 years. I am currently working as an RN on nights, and am very happy here. This place is so huge though - I really think it depends on whe...

9. This needs to be stated.

   RNinCLE replied to ShantheRN's topic in Ohio University

   It's not that I mind the class, or that it's particularly hard. I am just irritated that I am required to pay OU several hundred dollars to take a course I have already taken in my ADN. The same goes for Health Assessment. What registered nurse did n...

10. This needs to be stated.

    RNinCLE replied to ShantheRN's topic in Ohio University

    I have to say I really don't get why I need to take this class when I also had it in my ADN. I'm so tired of guessing what they want in these papers, though I'll admit I'm loving my TA so far.

11. Male pediatric nurses?

    RNinCLE replied to FutureNurseKyle's topic in Pediatric

    I've worked with several male nurses in peds, and they've all been great. Most of them are in PICU, but some on the regular floors as well. We also have male PCNAs, and the kids adore them. They're certainly a minority in peds, but I think add a lot ...

12. Job Dilemma

    RNinCLE replied to peachshan's topic in General Students

    Honestly, the best thing you can do is to sit down and work out a detailed budget. Make sure you can live off of the lower pay. You're correct that it's a great way to get your foot in the door - many hospitals will hire from within first, so it woul...

13. PLEASE HELP!!! Pediatric Dosage Calc.

    RNinCLE replied to #NurseRiley2016's topic in Student Assist

    So you've figured out that you are infusing 9ml, and your orders state to infuse over 20 minutes. Your pump needs to be programmed ml per hour. So 9 ml over 20 minutes is how many ml over 60 minutes?

    Yay!! Glad to hear you did well! Feels good to cross this one off the list.

15. Anyone in Chemistry at Clovis this semester?

    RNinCLE replied to RNinCLE's topic in Ohio University

    The exam is exactly the same as the others. Just log into the web site, and when you select the final exam, there is a password required that your proctor will have. It's 100 questions, and you'll get your grade as soon as you submit. For me, I knew...
