   casey12873 replied to casey12873's topic in General Nursing

   thank you all for your advice. I refused to give the gent until after the dr ordered a random gent level. He was due for a trough level in the am (tomorrow would have been his third dose.) However, his level was high last week, so they've adjusted th...

4. Quick question

   casey12873 replied to cynditoksRN's topic in NCLEX

   I don't remember exactly what day I got my results, but it was pretty quick. In Ohio, you can go to the state BON web site, click on licensure verification, type in your name. If it showed up (which mine did!! ), you passed. I think I even got my...

6. What shift in LTC for a new grad LPN?

   casey12873 replied to linzz's topic in LPN/LVN

   I graduated from PN classes a little over a year ago. I started out on night shift--hated it!! Got a day shift position, ended up hating the facility, lol. I'm glad I had to work nights for a while, though. There definitely is a huge difference b...

7. Your Favorite one liner used with patients

   casey12873 replied to scaredofshots's topic in Humor

   This one wasn't intentional, but ended up being pretty funny... When I was doing my IV sticks to get my cert, the nurses would tell the patients that I was a student and ask their permission for me to do the IV before I went in. This big ol' honkin'...

   casey12873 posted a topic in Humor

   Hi, everyone! I just wanted to share this little joke a family member told me the other day. There were 3 people walking on the beach. They came upon a jeanie's lamp and were granted one wish each. The first person said, "Make me the smartest perso...

10. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    casey12873 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    OK, so I've read the first and last page of this loooong thread. Maybe some of you will laugh (please be my guest--I love laughter), but here are the main reasons I chose nursing: 1) My husband is a 45 year old factory worker. He didn't graduate fr...

11. dayton/xenia area?

    casey12873 replied to all4schwa's topic in Ohio

    I was the last class to finish before they added their RN program. (They added just before we graduated.) I would have to take pre reqs, since they didn't have our courses planned out for the bridge program. After 15 months of PN classes, (I took...

    Rachel, where are you looking for a job? I thought it was pretty easy to get a job once I graduated. Congratulations on graduation!!! Lori, what do you think of RETS ADN program? I took LPN there, graduated May '05.

    casey12873 replied to casey12873's topic in LPN/LVN

    Texas, you are so supportive!! What would I do without you?? The CN guy was here. I have decided I am going to try to take my pre-reqs on my own, test out, then try nursing through EC. If that doesn't work, then I will go back and sign up with CN ...

    casey12873 replied to LPNMeg06's topic in LPN/LVN

    Sheesh my thoughts are that I've had 3 full semesters of LPN school and the second year RNs that I want to join only have 2 semesters under their belt...they are the ones that need the "bridge program" to catch up to me, lol. :yeahthat:
