Hey Tina, I graduated from Hocking in 2003. I just wanted to add that Hocking makes sure the nursing students are ready for the real world when they graduate. I loved the program and the teaching staff are always there for you when you have a quest...

Usually a Nurse I, step I unless you have experience.

you are never to old to achieve your dreams, i was 46 when i graduated nursing school. go for it and goodluck.

I had always wanted to be a nurse but with 3 small children thought my wants did not matter. Anyways the children grew up and my mom was diagnosed with cancer of the bladder. I took care of her until the end and decided if I was able to insert pain...

During nursing school I had a Professor who forbid us to test for Homan's sign, she had lost a fiance who threw a clot when the nurse tested for Homan's. He was in his early 20's and was a motorcycle accident victim.

If I was in the wrong about a clinical judgement I would let the Dr. explain to me what I did wrong. But I will not let them berate me. One time I just walked away from a ranting physician, regrouped then returned. Not usually the best thing to do...

Crocs specialist do come in white. Go http://www.crocs.com, click on work at top of page then to specialist. They have vent and no vent varieties. I have them and think they are more comfortable than the other crocs. I have many pairs in many col...

Congratulations on passing your boards!!!

About 7 years ago my mother was dying of cancer. During her last 3 days she saw 3-5 angels surrounding her room staying close to the ceiling. She spoke of them to my sister and I several times. Talked about how beautiful they were. Two weeks befo...

After trying several brands including Danskos, Birkenstock, New Balance, Nursemates etc I have chosen Crocs as my favorites. I can wear them 16 hours and feel great. I have not had any problems with them at all, not even slipping on wet floors. I...

I have a niece named Shira Jenae. I had actually picked the name out when I was pregnant with my last child, but was a boy and could not use it. So when my sister got pregnant she asked if she could use the name.

I attended Hocking College and loved every minute of it. The education and clinical experience you get is outstanding. I was in the regular day classes, but know others who attended evenings and weekends. They enjoyed the classes and ability to wo...

Kevin, So Sorry for your loss. Been there and know how you are feeling. Know that you were a wonderful advocate for your mom. She must have been a wonderful lady to raise such a compassionate son. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I too believe we should not wear our scrubs to different public places if they are soiled or if we have taken care of MRSA patients during our shift. But to get back to what really bothers me is this woman, who has a column in most newspapers, assum...

Kim, I am 46 years old, graduated from RN school in June, have a husband and raising a grandchild while also working part time. My daughter graduated last week from the same program, she worked full time, is married with two children ages 3 & 1....

GOODLUCK JENN, and the wait is worth it in the end.

Hey Noney, I thought it was the only one too!!! I guess it is the only ONE to us.

Hocking College for me also. I love the school, so student oriented.

Noney, I am married with 3 grown children (2 girls, 1 boy), and a stepson. I have 5 grandchildren, the oldest lives with my husband and I. I think it is a wonderful idea to tell each other about ourselves. Presently I work in long term care and te...

Hi all, I am from Southern Ohio and a new RN. It will be interesting to read the topics each week from the home state.

Absolutely! In fact my daughter and I are both in our second quarter of LPN classes. I wanted to go and asked her if she would like to go with me. We both love what we are doing at the moment, and I hope we continue to feel the same way in the fut...

Thank You Very Much!!!

I will be taking pathophys. in the near future, I am wondering about the incredibly easy books. Who publishes them? I haven't seen any of them in our campus library, but would love to find them.

I think you should be very proud of yourself, I am 44 yrs. old and in my first year of nursing school. My 22 yr. old daughter is in with me. I worked at a job for 16 years and they shut down, leaving me to make the decision on what I wanted to do n...
