  1. Mercy College of NW Ohio ADRN ?

    peytonsmom replied to Streamline2010's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm in their nights and weekends program right now. Pros: Transfer dept is by far the best i've ever worked with (i've attended three different colleges and spoke with transfer depts in two others)....

  2. Do I really need a BSN?

    peytonsmom replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

    I think right now it depends on where you live. I'm in an ADN program because that's all I could swing on my schedule (I work FT w/ a family and the only nights & weekends program is an ADN) but...

  3. Dosage calculations

    peytonsmom replied to dcRn2b's topic in General Students

    Your minutes shouldn't be canceling out because you're solving for drops per minute. If you're using a pump you're solving for ml per

  4. Mercy College of Northwest Ohio

    peytonsmom replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Shanyone - THanks! Starmickey - My orientation was the very last one that was litterally the week before classes started and I was still able to get into classes at times that worked for me and I need...

  5. Drawing from ampules and vials...

    peytonsmom replied to DanishPastry's topic in General Students

    I agree always go by the texts! We were taught to do the vial first (assuming multi-dose vial). If you draw up from the ampule and somehow manage to contaminate the vial w/ the med your drew up from...

  6. Mercy College of Northwest Ohio

    peytonsmom replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Shanyone - I know at our orientation last fall I was told by one of the students that out of the original 50 of the ADN day's program 18 ended up graduating on time while the others either...

  7. The "I HATE IT WHEN..." thread for students!!

    peytonsmom replied to shescoolie's topic in General Students

    YES!! We have that going on in our class a lot too! I READ it in the text and want clarification, not to be referred back to the same

  8. The "I HATE IT WHEN..." thread for students!!

    peytonsmom replied to shescoolie's topic in General Students

    Let's see: - when we ask if something we went over will be on the test and the instructor says "NO" because it was not something we went over and then it turns up on the test - You have a 7 hour...

  9. am i missing something?

    peytonsmom replied to sophie<3's topic in General Students

    I think it depends a lot on how your program is set up. Our first few weeks in our first semester we were not into topics that required hours of study to grasp. I mean we're talking about things like...

  10. Starting NS w/ no prereqs = suicide?

    peytonsmom replied to Summers_Off's topic in General Students

    Last semester I took Nursing Fundamentals & pathophys together while working FT (M-F 8:30-5:00 w/ a 45 minute one way commute) and I have a 4 y/o at home. Our fundies class had a 100% self study...

  11. Has anyone or does anyone feel this way?

    peytonsmom replied to Mmae's topic in General Students

    Rest assured that they're not going to send you into the hospital and tell you to dress a wound or give a bath w/o giving you any instruction at all. Not only would it be bad for the patient but it...

  12. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    peytonsmom replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I'm open to anything that grabs me during my schooling but right now I'm really thinking i'd love L&D or NICU. I dealt w/ infertility for many years before getting pg w/ my son and then had a...

  13. At the very last minute...

    peytonsmom replied to sophie<3's topic in General Students

    Look at it this way, you were going to need all of those gen ed classes you took to get your BSN anyways so at least they weren't a waste of time. With all of your lib arts classes done you're...

  14. Just curious...

    peytonsmom replied to tbell2's topic in General Students

    Ours is an 80 for the lowest passing grade as of the end of the 3rd quarter in 2009 we have a 97% pass rate. I'm interested in seeing this info. I've always wondered if having to have a higher grade...

  15. stethescope for nursing school

    peytonsmom replied to Kelber's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I e-mailed my program head before ordering just to make sure. I have a BRIGHT orange Littman Classic. I love it because i'm the only one w/ that loud annoying orange so everyone knows it's mine....

  16. Received grades for 1st semester...

    peytonsmom posted a topic in General Students

    Can I gloat just a little bit? I started an ADN nights/weekends program this fall. The lectured endlessly during the application process, orientation, and again during the semester that working FT...

  17. Received grades for 1st semester...

    peytonsmom replied to peytonsmom's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone! I'm still smiling days later. I wouldn't have minded the school giving us a heads up that its very difficult to work FT, have a family, and go to school but they way they went...

  18. Mercy College of Northwest Ohio

    peytonsmom replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I just finished first semester in the ADN nights/weekends program. I currently have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the school. It is the only school in the area offering an ADN program...

  19. Your favorite "tech" solution to help you in nursing school?

    peytonsmom replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    We're not allowed to have our cell phones, computers, or recording devices present/on during lecture. So basically a notebook and a pen are about as high tech as we get. A friend of mine though will...

  20. 89.90! 1 tenth from an A :(

    peytonsmom replied to superramvette's topic in General Students

    lol You know what always cracks me up about threads like these? Even though the OP isn't throwing a fit saying the school robbed her and she's going to throw a fit, over half the replies are usually...

  21. Why would an OB want to sign a practice agreement with a CNM?

    peytonsmom replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I live in the boondocks in NW Ohio (near the Toledo area). The OB that delivered me had a midwife in his practice and I saw both of them during my pregnancy. He was a DO that really believed in the...

  22. 89.90! 1 tenth from an A :(

    peytonsmom replied to superramvette's topic in General Students

    This kills me too! We're going to have people from my fundies class fail because of a 79.4% grade. So they have their transcripts sent to another school and they have to explain that they failed a...

  23. Procrastinators Unite!

    peytonsmom replied to ybq2008's topic in General Students

    I think i'm going to have to take Spider Solitare off of my computer if i'm every going to get any studying done! I always say just ONE game to break up the studying and then I spend an hour trying...

  24. No She/he Did Not!!!

    peytonsmom replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

    well here's MY "I can't believe I just did that" A nurse asked me if I could help her pull a pt up in bed. I walked in and recognized the pt I had been assigned two weeks ago. She had been in for an...

  25. Don't know that 1oz=30cc/mls....and it's the Last Trimester?

    peytonsmom replied to dblpn's topic in General Students

    Do you guys have a mandatory math compentency? Our 2nd semester we have a dosage calc test that you have to pass w/ a 95% or something like that to continue on w/ the program. You get two chances...
