  3. classes offered this summer

    DidiRN replied to dln1x0n's topic in Ohio University

    I thought all I saw two statistic courses this summer that were 5 weeks and one was 10 weeks. I registered for the 10 week one, too intimidated already by the class to try and do it in

    DidiRN replied to tokidoki7's topic in Ohio University

    Is anyone else hoping that since we are doing a combined class that we are doing more than what's normal for a usual 5 week course? I know they said the first week was heavy, but this just seems...

    You are most definitely not alone! I haven't even done one response yet, and struggled so much with the discussion post. Haven't even started with my paper yet, had to work a long stretch which ended...

    I'm right there with ya...I'm just floored by this APA format,especially the book. My goodness, so many rules!! The website they recommended, that Purdue Owl, was easier to read for me. I think I'm...

    How's everyone doing? I'm completely overwhelmed but I'm hanging in there. I wish I knew MS Word well, I think that would have helped me a

    DidiRN replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    I had that problem too, so I googled it, got to this website, and downloaded it from there. Click under "Epic Client Install Directions", then scroll down to the button that says "Download Epic...

  10. PSY 120 Elementary Statistical Reasoning

    DidiRN replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in Ohio University

    I wanted to do this too. My advisor warned me not to take them together, since NRSE 451 is actually two nursing classes combined instead of

    DidiRN replied to tokidoki7's topic in Ohio University

    I guess I could wait until fall to take the new semester courses, but I only have two non-nursing classes to do, no electives at all, so would rather start on the nursing courses now and get done...

    DidiRN replied to tokidoki7's topic in Ohio University

    Nurse 451 is a combination of Nurs 300 and 335. I'm going to try and take Nurs 414 on the second session. Summer I may try to take both Nurs 310 and 325 since they will be combining these two when the...

  13. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    DidiRN replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    My understanding is that the nursing classes will still be 5 weeks with the semesters, but there will be 3 sessions (semesters will be 15 weeks long) instead of 2 we have now with the 10 week long...

    DidiRN replied to tokidoki7's topic in Ohio University

    That happened to me too. My advisor told me to wait until Monday (tomorrow) and see if it worked, if not, to email [email protected] along with your name, PID, and class you want to take, and they will...

    I was told to register for Nurse 451, which is Nurs 300 and 335 combined. It was supposed to show up for registration on Feb 28, but just tonight it showed

  17. In your opinion, which is more addictive tylenol 3 or tramadol?

    DidiRN replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've had 3 physicians refuse to prescribe me more tramadol for fibromyalgia pain because they feel I will become addicted to it. I have no history of substance abuse, do not get high off of it and it...

  18. Failed out of nursing program

    DidiRN replied to guardcrazy1206's topic in General Students

    Yep, happened to me. I also had very disasppointed parents when it happened. I got back in a year later, bound and determined to make it and I did. That was over 25 years

  19. Alegria Shoes

    DidiRN replied to Twinmom06's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I read this thread a while ago, and decided to order a pair of Alegria's through Zappos. I didn't have my hopes up much for it helping my plantar fasciitis that I have had for many years, since I had...

  20. "Losing my license!"

    DidiRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, Commuter. I hear this all this time (ie lose my license), but they're not usually talking about working in nursing homes, etc; could be for about anything it seems. Same here in my...

  21. What are the worst call in excuses you've heard?

    DidiRN replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    Worked at a charge nurse on night shift about 20 years ago. A nursing assistant called in said "I won't be in, I'm at the State Fair." I didn't say anything at first, thinking she was going to say...

  22. why do doctors order more vitamin d tests than anything?

    DidiRN replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    Same here except I had muscle aching, fatigue...I thought I had fibromyalgia. I had several labs drawn, one being a Vitamin D level, which showed my Vitamin D level was very low. Took 50,000 IU once...

  23. What injuries or illnesses of yours has been the result of being a nurse?

    DidiRN replied to mikethern's topic in General Nursing

    I THINK this might be work-related, but wanted to see if anyone else had this. I started having numbness in my outer thigh area, then turned into shooting pains. Usually occured while standing.I found...

  24. What medical term do you dislike the most ?

    DidiRN replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not talking about the procedure, I'm talking about the term used. And I've watched it being done in the OR myself. No different than any other. But perhaps you can answer this...many years ago...

  25. What medical term do you dislike the most ?

    DidiRN replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    It makes me think the patient that is going to the OR to take their organs out is on the same level as some kind of plant...just seems like so cold to me at times I
