  1. Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences?

    OhioMTCRN07 replied to danmcbabe's topic in Florida Nursing

    In my 2nd to last semester. The online Help Desk is a nightmare. They can't "HELP" with Turn It In, a submission that the school requires you to use. Issues with resubmissions take 24 hours so...

  2. Why lvn's /lpn's should not work in labor and delivery

    OhioMTCRN07 replied to LNDBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would wonder how the state board of nursing defines the LPN's scope of practice. Whatever issues the OP has with the LPN are not the issue. In our state, LPNs handle "routine" or low risk cases. In...

    OhioMTCRN07 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

  7. New Grads after 6 months: How do you feel?

    OhioMTCRN07 replied to RNcDreams's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You have to laugh at your mistakes. As you said, if the patient doesn't get hurt, it's okay. I have one of the charge nurses that "eat their young." It's been tough to deal with but the last day we...

  8. Checking Placement of PEG

    OhioMTCRN07 replied to BluntForceTrauma's topic in General Nursing

    No question asked is "stupid." That is how we learn new things -- nursing is constantly changing, updating based on evidence-based practices. Believe me, I have a lot of questions! Keep asking and...

  9. Checking Placement of PEG

    OhioMTCRN07 replied to BluntForceTrauma's topic in General Nursing

    We use air bolus but testing contents by pH is much more accurate. I would never, ever give anything down a PEG without checking

    OhioMTCRN07 replied to Calgon-take.me.away's topic in General Nursing

    Getting ready to graduate in June -- Glad we don't have to wear them. Tradition or not, times change. I always thought they were impractical as noted by the bedpan incident above! And . . . we used...

  15. What do nurses really think of CNAs?

    OhioMTCRN07 replied to ccyrrus's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with Lenore P on page 1. You don't have to "work up the ranks" to appreciate how hard it is to be an CNA. During 2 years of nursing school, we have total care of the patient (meaning both...

    OhioMTCRN07 replied to anouk's topic in General Nursing

    I read that "is 26 year old . . " and thought "you've got to be kidding me." I thought, what a silly question but here goes -- I'll be 42 when I finish my RN and have 2 other college degrees. You...

  17. Question on GRAINS and dosage calc

    OhioMTCRN07 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    We used both. 1 grain of Tylenol and Aspirin is 65 mg and the rest are figured in 60. We had better figure Tylenol/ASA at 65 per grain or the dosage question is wrong. Good luck

  18. Anyone have dogs and work 12hr shifts?

    OhioMTCRN07 replied to xokelly2's topic in General Nursing

    PLEASE be careful giving them something to chew on unsupervised. My vet has told me many times not to do that because if they choke, no one is there to help the dog. Apparently this happens more...

    OhioMTCRN07 replied to zaleah's topic in General Nursing

    My mom was in the hospital and the RN brought all her meds in to her in a cup. Didn't check her BP before trying to give the BP medication. Luckily I was there and had her check it and, of course, it...
