  1. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Yes, it will probably be filled. That's why I'm starting in January 2011. However, the accelerated program only starts every Fall so you probably won't be able to start until August 2011. However, I...

  2. does night shift make you fat?

    foreverLaur replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, very true. What I meant was that the very basics of dieting is to lose more calories than you put into your body in a given day. Obviously this isn't healthy and won't last forever. I vote that...

  3. does night shift make you fat?

    foreverLaur replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in General Nursing

    Your diet is the number one factor in your weight. Simply put, eat less calorie than you put in. If you do that, you will lose weight. You could lose weight by eating 1,000 calories a day of...

  4. does night shift make you fat?

    foreverLaur replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in General Nursing

    I actually lost weight working night shift because I ate less. I never exercised before so I can't really add that into the comparison. Luckily I'm still young enough that I can eat like a pig, not...

  5. What is the most you've worked (days) without having a day off?

    foreverLaur replied to Nightingale11's topic in General Nursing

    As a tech, I did ten 12 hour shifts in a row. It wouldn't have been so bad, but we had all medical patients at the time. Of my 12 patients I had every night, 7-8 were totals, 2-3 had c-diff, and on...

  6. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I believe that has changed. I think you get your A2 results instantly so the school should get them faster. They also used to review applications once a month and I think they are doing that more...

  7. evening weekend LPN or RN program- no prereq's?

    foreverLaur replied to Equinox_93's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm from the border of Medina County and Summit County. I'm very familiar with where Wayne County is. I attended their branch of the Univ of Akron when I was home over the summer in college

  8. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Let me know what you find out! They led me to believe I would be able to take the exam within a week!! It would be nice to know if I'll have to schedule way out! That will def change my

  9. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'd expand your search area. It should be offered at least 5 days a week and they said you should be able to get in quickly to take it. I've not taken the A2 but you only are required to take the...

  10. Cleveland Clinic: Unit J7-3, Cardiac Stepdown

    foreverLaur replied to **All Heart RN**'s topic in Ohio Nursing

    From the thread title, I'd assume it is a Cardiac Step-down

  11. What do you think about Retail medicine ?

    foreverLaur replied to patrick1rn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know the NPs in the Minute Clinic's around here make $70-$80k. Considering the hours and the work environment... not

  12. Help!... OSUMC RN Internship/Residency Graduates

    foreverLaur replied to **All Heart RN**'s topic in Ohio Nursing

    wsuchic1 - congrats on the acceptance! I'm sure that was a very competitive position!! OSU has a great reputation and I think Columbus, OH is the best "big" city to live in Ohio by far. I love it...

  13. NP Salary vs. RN salary

    foreverLaur replied to Health-Nut's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Regardless of money, I'd increase my education too. I love to learn and I wouldn't be satisfied being anything less than a mid-level provider. I'd get frustrated with my lack of knowledge and the...

    foreverLaur replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    i was looking for some suggestions from someone with far more advanced knowledge than myself. i have a fairly solid base of undergraduate science courses, but none at the graduate level and minimal...

  15. Need help preparing for the Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

    foreverLaur replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Does anyone have a specific title/ISBN# for a high quality HESI A2 study guide? I'm taking the math and reading comprehension sections. I haven't done algebra type math in 9 years, but I'm not too...

    I sent you another PM :) Sadly, we're not allowed to exchange e-mails on this forum, but I think the PM should resolve the

  19. What do you think about Retail medicine ?

    foreverLaur replied to patrick1rn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Frustrating. I had a UTI and my primary care provider and gyno wouldn't let me just come in and pee in a cup really quick. Neither one could get me in for a full week. I wasn't about to ER for a...

  20. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    foreverLaur replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    My interests are in trauma/EM. I plan to become an ACNP and later go back and get my pediatric acute care NP license as well so I can work in a Level I Trauma Center and treat patients of all ages....

  21. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    foreverLaur replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Personally, I found that I learn best by hands on work. I also learned that my pathophysiology, pharmacology, and disease management courses were much easier due to a base knowledge of chemistry,...

    foreverLaur replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    http://fpb.case.edu/dnp/documents/curriculum1.pdf please show me all the science and clinical coursework and please let me know how this coursework makes you better at treating patients and does not...

  23. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    foreverLaur replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I agree. The DNP degree seems to be great for those wishing to teach at the university level, open their own practice (for the business side) or work more in public health, but I'm still at a...

  24. LPN schools in Cleveland area/NE Ohio?

    foreverLaur replied to filumena's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The only chemistry you need at Tri-C is a 100 level biological chemistry class. I doubt you received that in high school. The class doesn't have any prerequisites. Most schools don't let you apply...

    foreverLaur replied to filumena's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I don't think we're allowed to exchange e-mails on here so I'd remove it from your post before you get in trouble. You only have 4 more posts to go... stick random comments somewhere and then you can...
