  3. Adn To Msn

    medicrnohio replied to VANCIALA's topic in First Year After Licensure

  4. is RUE a mistake?

    medicrnohio replied to deegale's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm sorry to hear of your mother's experience with Excelsior. On the other hand I feel it is very unfair of you to call Excelsior "a joke." If you have not been through the program or the clinical...

  10. ACLS - Help!!

    medicrnohio replied to kaseysmom's topic in Cardiac

    Try to get ahold of the textbook for the ACLS class. It should help you with the answers. The newer version of the book isn't too bad to read as compared to the old version, in my opinion. Good...

  15. Birkenstocks turning yellow!

    medicrnohio replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely call Birkenstock. Then I would never go to that store again. I am on my 3rd pair of Birks and I have never had problems like that. Usually they will bend over backwards to make...

    medicrnohio replied to careerdejour's topic in General Nursing

    medicrnohio replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in General Nursing
