  1. How many IVs....

    AmyLiz replied to linfull's topic in General Students

    Our school has an optional class you can take to learn venipuncture. I'm seriously thinking of taking that just for the heck of it so that I can have practice & the know-how before I have to do...

  2. To give credit to the show ER (part 2)

    AmyLiz replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

    :chair: I like ER too :chair: Sure, it's innacurate on many levels, but it's still entertaining to me. And I'll miss Romano too. He was a jerk that I just loved to hate.

  3. Hospice Question

    AmyLiz replied to AndiMac's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Not sure...but if you do a quick search on the internet with LPN Hospice as the search keywords, it brings up some job postings. You might want to look at those & perhaps call the facilities...

  4. didn't get accepted

    AmyLiz replied to marelle's topic in Ohio Nursing

    If you've already been going to school at U of A for 2 years, doesn't that mean you only have 2 more years left in your 4 year degree? I guess I'm a little confused here. I'd stick with the...

  5. Questions about distance learning

    AmyLiz replied to lashon20's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I've taken a few distance learning classes through Sinclair. Only ALH 103 & 104 so far. Getting ready to take PSY 208 as print-based distance learning next quarter. ALH 103 I took on videotape...

  6. I had a panic attack at clinical last night...

    AmyLiz replied to hrjqtpie's topic in General Students

    ((((hrjqtpie)))) :kiss I feel for ya. I was a single mother with a rather difficult young daughter once. It was a trying time...and I wasn't even entertaining the idea of going back to school...

  7. nursing school

    AmyLiz replied to anjie43's topic in General Nursing

    If you can do the BSN, then do it. For me, because of finances, I am going the Associates route. I've got a BA in Psych as well...just started back to school this spring for nursing. I can't afford...

  8. What should I do?

    AmyLiz replied to Sherri070684's topic in Ohio Nursing

    With an associates, you'd be considered an RN (when you pass the NCLEX, that is). BSN will get you into management, etc, but just by being an RN (no matter how you get there) you'll be able to work...

  9. How is school effecting your relationship?

    AmyLiz replied to busybeaver's topic in General Students

    Good golly...what does your bf want? To be joined at the hip? Sounds to me like you're giving him plenty of attention considering the situation. I don't see my husband much at all & he's ok...

  10. Has anyone taken the PAX RN pre-entrance exam?

    AmyLiz replied to bamamomof4's topic in General Students

    Some of the verbal stuff wasn't too hard, in my opinion, but some of them were fairly represented in the study guide. Oh and I forgot to mention before...study up on some geometry too. I recall...

  11. Has anyone taken the PAX RN pre-entrance exam?

    AmyLiz replied to bamamomof4's topic in General Students

    Yep! I took the PAX-RN in early autumn of this year. I did really well on it (got into the 98-99 percentile in each section), but parts of it were rather tough. I got a review book (probably the...

  12. Christ Hospital School of Nursing Cincinnati

    AmyLiz replied to Louisepug's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I haven't heard anything about this program (bad or good), but I have heard of it. The only program I know anything about down in Cincy is at UC since a friend of mine is going to be going there....

  13. religion prereqs

    AmyLiz replied to iliel's topic in General Students

    That's all part & parcel of going to a religious school. They're not that bad. Look at them as a philosophy class or history class if you are not religious. I took an eastern religion course...

  14. Please give me advice and tricks to overcome gagging from smell

    AmyLiz replied to sunnyone's topic in General Nursing

    An instructor of mine suggested vicks or a dab of cologne on the shoulder of your uniform/lab coat so that you can take a whiff of that when you need to. Another suggested popping a small mint before...

  15. From Computer To nursing

    AmyLiz replied to Yaldain's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Hi Mike! Welcome to the board! :) I'm a second career nursing student right now & it totally depends on what you want to do. I'm going to Sinclair Community College in Dayton and the tuition...

  16. WSU online ADN to BSN program?

    AmyLiz replied to rileygrl11's topic in Ohio Nursing

    There's another RN-BSN program in Dayton thru Capital University (see http://www.capital.edu) It's not an online course, but they don't meet but 2x a week from what I hear, which isn't too terrible....

  17. Interesting question...

    AmyLiz replied to LisaRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Good question...I've wondered the same thing. I look forward to any

  18. stna training

    AmyLiz replied to areynolds's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Have you looked at any local community colleges? Sometimes they have training classes too. That's where I'm taking mine (it's a requirement for my ADN). If all else fails contact: Dept of Hlth NA...

  19. I had my orientation!

    AmyLiz replied to lashon20's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It's in

  20. Nursing Students: Shut up and color

    AmyLiz replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

    Oookay. Yikes "Shut up and color", eh? Nice. Real nice. Not exactly helping anyone learn by having that attitude now are you? Sorry you had a bad student or whatever, but that generalization...

  21. I had my orientation!

    AmyLiz replied to lashon20's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Those that got two weeks probably did so if they did not already have CNA status. They probably went through the CNA training during that time...not unusual. If you already have had the CNA...

  22. I got a job!

    AmyLiz replied to lashon20's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Congrats on the job! I'm going to be doing my CNA clinicals there at Hickory Creek in a few weeks. I've heard it's a nice facility. :) Good luck with Kettering

  23. Nurses caps!

    AmyLiz replied to FERTMYRTOBRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I know...I meant that wearing a cap for pinning or nursing class graduation type stuff/ceremonies should be ok. Mortarboards then for the school graduation ceremonies. In the CNA training class...

  24. Nurses caps!

    AmyLiz replied to FERTMYRTOBRN's topic in General Nursing

    Probably wouldn't wear one to work, but don't see the problem with wearing them for pinning/graduation ceremonies or pictures. After all, I wore a morterboard for my graduation from high school &...

  25. Is it too late to become a nurse?

    AmyLiz replied to Alexbor's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure by now, you can see that the answer would be...no, you're not too old! I'm 33 & just
