Yesterday several family members came in to see their loved one stating that they had heard through other family members that they were now being seen by Hospice. To make a long story short, the day nurse had spoken with a family member and stated th...

"21 weeks long" Personally speaking, but I would really hesitate in even hiring you knowing that you would be leaving for that long of a period. And, if by not telling them, to me would be dishonest and upfront of your job requirements, ie., can you...

I know exactly how you feel! I too left a very stressful nursing position at a hospital and my family acted like I had committed a huge crime and that I was looking for an 'easy' job. It wasn't until my mother was a patient at a hospital where I work...

I am a first year nurse, graduated in June of 2005. I am having one heck of a time being able to give report off to the next shift without the oncoming nurse making rude comments, rolling of the eyes and what not. What the heck am I doing wrong? I s...

Has anyone every heard of PAR charting? I just started working at a facility in Dayton, Ohio and they have the nurses use this type of documentation (nurses notes) instead of 'normal' nursing notes. It's weird if you ask me! I just can not seem to...

Your logic makes perfect sense to me!!

I finally started using our computerized Kardex's on each patient. Writing down labs, new meds, VS, tests that have been ordered, etc. If I havn't written it down and it's not on the Kardex...they can look it up. Some of the things they were asking ...

:uhoh21: Oh I wish they would hurry up and post our results...this suspense is killing me !! The exam shut off at 76 questions. I know the majority that have passed when theirs shut off at 76 is really high...it's just the unknown! I either did r...

Ohio posts the results usually within 24-28 hours on the BON website.

I am scheduled to take mine on Thursday the 21st! I've been procrastinating on studying but have definitely buckled down and started studying yesterday. I am more excited than scared about the test. Just want to get it done and over with. Everyone...

Just an update for everyone. My civil background check did not show how the desposition of the case. That is why the BON requested that I obtain certified court copies. Needless to say, everything is ok and I will be sitting for my exam on July 21s...

Ok since this is a new thread I thought I would post here and hope that someone has an answer! Graduated from nursing school in June of this year and waiting for that letter to take boards. Well instead of that letter I got one requesting a copy of c...

I called the BON review board contact last week. They were meeting this week and I should know something soon, I hope. I hope that it will not prevent me from obtaining my license, it's just the waiting that is killing me. I'm ready to sit for board...

Just wanted to put this at the top 'again' in hopes that someone has some advice on waiting this one out! Thanks..

Suzanne4 - Yes, I listed this on my application. In fact I even listed it on my application with the hospital that I interviewed with in Columbus. I explained the incident to the HR person...no problem, I was hired pending passing my boards. I had ...

Just an update...I graduated June 11th!! Good Luck to all of you who are still in school..

I had a girl in my first year, first quarter clinicals fail. She practically screamed down the hall at another student nurse that her patient was a fruit loop!! Needless to say, the clinical instructor failed her! lol

Clark State Community College Springfield, OH Only "80" Days til Graduation!! Woo Hoo!! Melody :Melody:

Ok, maybe this is a really dumb question but here goes. How many of you have found the Class exams to be much harder than the NCLEX practice exams. (The CD's that come with your NCLEX books) Last week I studied my notes, objectives and re-read all ...

I live in Ohio too!! Wonder if it's just those instructors in Ohio that make things so difficult! Maybe it's in the water?? lol Frustrating, yes it is. And I am bound and determined to make it the first go round. As I said before, I have only until ...

Oh they have been asked! Their reply is, "So that we will be able to pass our Boards". BS!! I am in my third quarter second year. Luckily I have only three weeks this quarter and then one to go. I will be so glad when I am done and finished with the...

I just returned from Tucson. (Visiting my son) I wanted to contact the new hospital (Oro Valley) while I was out there to see what their starting rate of pay was. Never did get a chance though, too busy 'visiting'. Do you know if the rate is simila...

I traded the bag of potatoe chips for Sweet Tarts! Don't ask me why, but I can sit and eat those things all night long while I study. (Of course along with coffee!)

We have off from December 4th to January 3rd. I am flying out to Tucson, AZ to visit with my son, daughter-in-law and grand daughter from Dec 11th to the 21t. I plan on just relaxing and doing a lot of vegging!! I had thought of taking my module for ...

We have test reviews. All your personal belongings, purses, coats, etc. are dropped inside the door of the classroom. They then pass back to us our test and the scantron. We go question by question over the test. It's usually about half an hour long ...
