  1. Newbie-sorta, just took NCLEX, here's my take...long

    jazz404 replied to ProudMomof2,now RN!'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    15 med questions - Yikes! Did you recognize the meds? I'm hearing that a lot of people get meds they had never seen before. I think I'm weak on the meds, so this worries me. Any advice on how you...

  2. Is anyone else this nervous??

    jazz404 replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    Yes - being nervous is normal and I agree that it is a good thing. It will keep you on your toes and remind you of the serious nature of your work. That being said, make sure you don't let those...

  3. Students: Prefer morning or evening clinicals?

    jazz404 replied to ashandjune's topic in General Students

    It really depends on what you want to get out of your clinical experience. As a couple of posters mentioned, the majority of action happens in the AM. You'll experience a lot more with an early...

  4. What color should a nurse wear?

    jazz404 replied to PE-RN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Ha! I can't believe anyone would pick a place of employment based on the color of their uniforms. It really sounds like you should take a good look at your priorities and your reasons for becoming a...

  5. no longer nursing student

    jazz404 replied to Lindalou76's topic in General Students

    my 2 cents - I agree that you have to do what is right for you, but I don't see how quitting nursing school is courageous. In the initial post, the problems seemed to come from stress and poor time...

  6. Do you use your TEXT BOOK?

    jazz404 replied to bioniclewoman's topic in General Students

    This is one of the things that really bothers me - I hear a number of people complaining about reading the text or saying that we shouldn't have had to spend all that money on the books, etc. Diane...

  7. What do you know about Bryant & Stratton?

    jazz404 replied to mstyd's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm at Lorain County Community College and fast approaching the half way point of the program. I can believe how fast this is going! Have you started at B&S? How's it

  8. do you ever just wanna yell..."Would you SHUT UP already???"

    jazz404 replied to coltsgrl's topic in General Students

    My two cents... 1) I'm paying good money to have the teacher lecture on as much material as possible during a semester. Yes, there are stupid questions and they take away from this lecture time....

  9. Does Ohio have really good nursing schools?

    jazz404 replied to pumpkin1984's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I would also suggest checking out the NCLEX pass rates listed on the Ohio BON website. When I was researching schools, I found the ones with good reputations usually had high pass rates as

  10. What do you know about Bryant & Stratton?

    jazz404 replied to mstyd's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Good advice gm - I was accepted to the Parma branch of B&S for last fall. They told me up front that they were accredited - when I continually pressed them, they changed the story and said they...

  11. Sex and Nursing School

    jazz404 replied to motyandproudofit's topic in General Students

    I would be more worried about the issue of your husband not wanting to talk about it - or being bothered by the fact that you want to talk about it. It could be nothing, or it could be something...

  12. What do you know about Bryant & Stratton?

    jazz404 replied to mstyd's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Where do they have their acccreditation from? I see that the Willoughby Hills campus is on candidate status for NLNAC. Was that the one you were referring

  13. OB Clinicals

    jazz404 replied to angel1188's topic in General Students

    I'm half way through my L&D clinical and our instructor has been with us on all of our assessments. I was caring for a c-section mom today and I was left alone to do basics - vitals, lung and...

  14. Bryan & Stratton cleveland or parma anybody??

    jazz404 replied to njdx1205's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The toughest thing about getting into B&S was agreeing to pay the tuition!

  15. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    jazz404 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    1) Dude - stop rolling your eyes, your constant "I am so bored and this is a waste of my time" vibe is really getting on our nerves. You saw the times for the lectures and labs when you registered -...

  16. Work and attend nursing school?

    jazz404 replied to Tamarita's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Just some food for thought - while it is possible to work pt/ft while attending nursing school, you should also consider what your future plans might be. I know a lot of students who are working while...

  17. Bryant&Stratton Parma Ohio

    jazz404 replied to HodgimomiRN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I was in the same situation - I finished my support courses and was looking at waiting at least a year to start a nursing program (I looked at every school in and around Cleveland). I was all signed...

  18. Cleveland area internship programs for students

    jazz404 posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm starting my ADN program at Lorain County CC on Jan 14 - I've decided (after much thought) to quit my job as an STNA (at a hospital 50 miles from home). But I'd like to continue doing some...

    jazz404 replied to Bluemoon576's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm 37 and changing careers into nursing also. I'm starting my ADN program in January and can't wait! I went the CNA (STNA in Ohio) route to get some experience and earn some $ while attending school....

    jazz404 replied to mstyd's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm not sure why you are so surprised that private schools cost a lot more than public schools. That's pretty

    jazz404 replied to mstyd's topic in Ohio Nursing

  23. What do you know about Bryant & Stratton?

    jazz404 replied to mstyd's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Does anyone else have any info on B&S? They are approved by the Ohio BON, but I don't think they are accredited. Anyone currently attending or know someone who has been through their

    jazz404 replied to lyndsaynicole's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Does anyone know if there is a wait list at Huron? I'm looking for an alternative to waiting a year at Lorain County Community College. Is there a work requirement for the Clinic if you attend...

    jazz404 replied to shrimpchips's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There's no waiting list for the STNA class at LCCC. I was told the classes do fill up, but they are offered frequently through out the school year. I'm not sure about the summer schedule. The class is...
