  2. Seasonal Flu and H1N1 Vaccine-will you get it if forced by your employer? why/why not

    foreverLaur replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I know! It's not like I'm refusing the seasonal flu vaccine or I am refusing the vaccine because I don't understand the benefits. I'm fullly aware of both the benefits and the risks. I do my...

  3. Seasonal Flu and H1N1 Vaccine-will you get it if forced by your employer? why/why not

    foreverLaur replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in Disaster Preparation

    UPDATE. My employer has recently changed the rules. If we refuse the vaccination for any reason (religious, allergy, personal preference, etc) we are required to sign a waiver form, attend 20 hours...

  4. Seasonal Flu and H1N1 Vaccine-will you get it if forced by your employer? why/why not

    foreverLaur replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm in OH and my employer (a hospital) encourages us, but does not require us to get the seasonal flu vaccine. Since it is free of charge, I did get the flu vaccine. I am not getting the H1N1...

    Yes, I have been a tech since June and will have about 1 year experience when I start nursing

  6. Is this typical of an ADN program?

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    I currently work on a meg/surg floor that is surgical primary, medical secondary, and trauma overflow at a Level I Trauma Center. I pick up a 12hr shift a week in the ED or Trauma floor, so I do have...

  7. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    PA programs can be certificates, associates, bachelors, or masters. The education you receive is 100% identical, but the degree you get varies. The PA program was founded on the principle of being a...

  8. Akron/Canton Nursing Programs

    foreverLaur replied to R.Smith's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I believe most hospitals will hire you once you've finished the appropriate clinical. I work on a med/surg floor as a tech. While that definitely is not the type of floor I want to work on as a...

  9. Akron/Canton Nursing Programs

    foreverLaur replied to R.Smith's topic in Ohio Nursing

    IMO, why waste your time with anything else when nursing is what you want to do? Thousands of people become nurses without prior health care experience first. You'll do just fine. Get started...

  12. stna without pca class can i work at childrens hospital

    foreverLaur replied to grechi2009's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm considered a PCA at a hospital, but the lab draws the blood and we are no longer allowed to do foleys or dressing changes. However, I was trained in all of them. Foleys were pretty easy to learn...

  13. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    The degree a PA receives is completely irrelevant to the amount of education they receive. Someone with a PhD could go back and get an associate's degree and be a PA. Does not mean they are less...

  14. Tri-C nursing application process

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Tri-C doesn't reject anyone. It is a first come, first serve type of deal. If your first choice is availble, you are in. If it isn't, they will move to your second choice, third choice, etc. I know...

  16. Tri-C ADN program clinicals

    foreverLaur posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    I was looking at the ADN curriculum on the Tri-C website and couldn't seem to find any details about the clinicals. I know clinicals like med/surg, peds, OB, psych, acute care, etc are pretty common...

  17. What clinicals and locations do Tri-C ADN students do?

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    I have spoken with several people in the nursing department and no one seems to know. Third semester students do peds, OB, and psych. Beyond that, no one seems to know what clinicals students do and...

  19. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    But it took you 3 specialties to complete just as many hours as you get in PA school? That is 4 years post BSN, right? Just because PAs are allowed to first assist doesn't mean they dig their hands...

  20. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    The point was not to say that PAs dominate NPs in regards to caring for neonates. The point was that if someone wanted to be a PA in the NICU, it would be possible to choose a school that would allow...

  21. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    I was just out in Cali at a wedding and the hospital where my aunt works as a PA in the NICU. She was a nurse in the NICU for 12 years before going to PA school and opted to do all her electives in...

  22. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    PAs don't commonly work in a NICU. However, PAs can do a residency in neonatology. Here is a description of the 12 month residency. "The curriculum is designed to provide comprehensive training in...

  23. FNP vs ACNP

    foreverLaur replied to icurn11's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What about working in the ED or Trauma? I always assumed ACNP would be the role to work in those departments, but I'm starting to see a lot more FNP or ANP in those settings. Anyone know what would...

  24. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

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

    Which is scary, considering someone can become an NP with no previous RN experience and only 500 clinical

  25. Not properly trained for ER?????

    foreverLaur replied to bassadict69's topic in Emergency

    I'm SO glad I am a tech. When I finish up grad school, I'll have a respect for techs I don't think you can get without being
