  1. Miami Valley Hospital ETC???

    AntFlip7395 replied to gam3rchic's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It's difficult to answer your question because the answer depends on one's perspective. Kettering Network and Premier Health Partners are very different, it's like comparing apples to oranges. I work...

  2. LPN college matter?

    AntFlip7395 replied to HTmommy's topic in LPN to RN

    In the real world, it usually does not matter where you attended school, most places only care about two things: state approval and/or national accreditation and valid licensure for the state you...

  3. Should I contact the board?

    AntFlip7395 replied to AntFlip7395's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I decided to contact the board and did so on Friday. It was a good thing I did because I never got an e-mail from Pearson. Why? Because somehow they didn't have my correct e-mail addy! JJT, you were...

  4. Should I contact the board?

    AntFlip7395 posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    I graduated from an ADN program on Aug 17. My school was supposed to send out applications to take NCLEX-RN the day before, once they knew whether we passed HESI or not. I guess my real question is,...

  12. Please Help

    AntFlip7395 replied to ladycool's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It would depend on the facility, but I don't think a school not being accredited affects your ability to get a job as an LPN since you will still have to pass NCLEX-PN. Nursing schools are regulated...

  13. Most interesting Micro-organism!!

    AntFlip7395 replied to kcstudentnurse06's topic in General Nursing

    Yersinia pestis, the organism that causes plague. There is a wealth of information on the internet about it. The CDC website is a good place to start. It is also very interesting from a historical...

    Hang in there, jjt. And you are right, your instructor is very fair. Study hard and you'll "get it". By the way, what lab are you in? Monday, Thursday, or

  15. Graduates of Rets Tech/problems with credits transferring?

    AntFlip7395 replied to Nursechick07's topic in Ohio Nursing

    There should not be a problem with transferring credits from RETS now because they recently became NLN accredited. Best advice is to call the school you intend to obtain your BSN from to be sure they...

    AntFlip7395 replied to sands's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I graduated from MVCTC in 1996, long before they moved to the VA. It was a good school when I attended, many things have changed since then. I'm in my last semster at RETS now, LPN-RN program....

  17. I need a little guidance!!

    AntFlip7395 replied to DandyBoo's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It is NOT required by the state of Ohio for an LPN student to first have STNA certification. However, many schools do require this status, for example, Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio does...

    AntFlip7395 replied to mistydave's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Regardless of what nursing school one attends, the amount of individual work puts in will greatly determine how well one does academically. The RN program at RETS is still in it's infancy, so to...

    In your position, I'd go straight for the RN program without hesitation. You'll be in a much better career

  20. Which experience is more valuable Unit Secretary or Doctor's office?

    AntFlip7395 replied to jlhalloween's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It depends on what you would be doing in the office, I am going to go out on a limb and guess that at the office you would be doing front office work? Either job would be somewhat helpful, in as much...

  21. Hospital LPN's, what states are you working in?

    AntFlip7395 replied to Elektra6's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I work at Kettering Medical Center in Kettering, OH. This hospital hires only a few LPN's though. I think the powers-that-be are trying to phase them out except for in a few areas. I believe that...

    AntFlip7395 replied to lpn2rnstudent's topic in LPN to RN

    Reviewing A&P is always helpful, especially if you are required to take it with your bridge class. Med-surg review is also very beneficial, particularly if you haven't worked in an acute care...
