  1. First Day of Clinicals....Disaster

    animal1993 replied to WILLBEANRN's topic in General Students

    I guess your instructor forgot that none of us would need to go to clinicals if we knew everything there was to know about patient care! Also, IMO, she should have been monitoring all of you a little...

  2. Conflicting test question...

    animal1993 replied to DirtyBlackSocks's topic in General Nursing

    If the pt was unconscious, I would think you would check the airway/breathing first. If the blood is squirting from the femoral artery, I would think that would indicate that the pt had a pulse, and...

  3. Conflicting test question...

    animal1993 replied to DirtyBlackSocks's topic in General Nursing

    I have had that exact question on a few of my tests, and our class has always argued the same points. The way my instructors have always explained it (and I tend to agree) is that if your patient is...

  4. Hondoros college-cincinnati

    animal1993 replied to tallandrew1982's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I wouldn't say that the schedule at Hondros is any more flexible, but you usually will not go M-F. Your schedule will change EVERY term, which is 11 weeks. Some terms will have a heavier course load...

  5. Hondoros college-cincinnati

    animal1993 replied to tallandrew1982's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Hi Andrew! I just completed the LPN program in Dec, and am now in the RN program. I feel like I have learned A LOT in a year, and am fully prepared to pass the NCLEX. However, I wouldn't necessarily...

  6. Are we not allowed to discuss patient cases at all?

    animal1993 replied to ChristyRN2009's topic in General Nursing

    I have been wondering the same thing. Also, after visiting my grandma in the hospital over the weekend, I started wondering about another aspect of HIPAA. How do you avoid a violation when it comes...

  7. Fear of Blood and Needles

    animal1993 replied to MegoEgo's topic in General Students

    I must say that I am greatly impressed by the tolerance being shown in the above posts! I have seen other threads similar to this one where people have pretty much told the OP to either get over it,...

  8. Pinning Day

    animal1993 replied to becca001's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations!!!

  9. Hondros in Cincinnati

    animal1993 replied to mitchsa's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Your welcome Mitchsa! You are correct; since you will have taken the online classes already, you will only have A&P for the first term. (I would recommend getting some of your RN online classes...

  10. Hondros in Cincinnati

    animal1993 replied to mitchsa's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Hi Mitchsa! If you take these classes in the LPN program, you do not have to take them again in the RN program. (I believe there is a second English class that you have to take in the RN program.) My...

  11. TO ALL the student Nurses !!!!!

    animal1993 replied to coffee4metech's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm certainly glad to hear that you aren't one "those nurses". To answer your question: No, I don't think so at all. I was referring to MY experiences, and I was referring to more than just...

  12. TO ALL the student Nurses !!!!!

    animal1993 replied to coffee4metech's topic in General Nursing

    I understand your frustration, but as as student nurse (who is about to graduate), I must say that while some students "roll their eyes" and aren't willing to help, most are more than happy to assist...

  13. pls guyz, is NCsBN a good source to study from...

    animal1993 replied to Angel love's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Our class was required to complete the NCSBN program in order to be able to take the exit HESI (which I am taking on Dec. 3--wish me luck!). I have to tell you that I wasn't overly impressed. I felt...

  14. How do you handle cheaters?

    animal1993 replied to AllSmiles225's topic in General Students

    I am enrolled in an LPN to RN 1+1 program. Obviously, this means that I will complete the LPN program, and then move on to the RN program. The LPN program starts out with 60 spots, and the RN starts...

  15. Stethoscope question

    animal1993 replied to want to do good 86's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Several students in my class have the pink Littman, and they all complain that they cannot get the tubing clean once it starts getting any kind of pen markings, etc., on it. (One of the reasons I...

  16. Tuition reimbursement in Cincinnati area

    animal1993 posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    Hi! I am currently an LPN student (will graduate in Dec.). Due to financial reasons, I have decided that I need to postpone starting the RN program for at least a year. I have been checking a lot of...

  17. Rets or Hondros for RN or is there another?? HESI LPN test

    animal1993 replied to valariemccoy's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Sorry! I just reread your OP and now realize that I read it too fast the first time! I thought you were talking about the Hesi ENTRANCE test! As for the exit exam, it is a requirement at Hondros for...

  18. Rets or Hondros for RN or is there another?? HESI LPN test

    animal1993 replied to valariemccoy's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I almost forgot to mention that there are some Hesi study guides that you can get, but I think you'll find them to be a waste of money. (I did.) You can do an internet search for the Hesi test and...

  19. Rets or Hondros for RN or is there another?? HESI LPN test

    animal1993 replied to valariemccoy's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I am currently in the LPN program at Hondros. As far as how difficult the RN program would be for you, I think it really just depends on what kind of a student you are, and how organized you are. I...

  20. Tuition reimbursement in Cincinnati area

    animal1993 replied to animal1993's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Thank you Lisa! That is extremely helpful information!!! Hondros is EXTREMELY expensive to attend. But, they didn't have a waiting list, and the school is literally across the street from my parents'...

  21. Tuition reimbursement in Cincinnati area

    animal1993 replied to animal1993's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Hi Heavenly! I have been leaning heavily toward Good Sam, since they have their own nursing program. (Maybe they would be more inclined to pay for my RN since it's their school!) I've also heard...

  22. Bohecker Accreditation

    animal1993 replied to Heavenly4505's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Hello! I just checked the Ohio Board of Nursing website (I posted the link below) and RETS has lost their FULL accreditation. They now have PROVISIONAL accreditation which, according to the Board,...

  23. From the Other Side of the Bed Rails - When the Nurse Becomes the Patient

    animal1993 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I was faced with the possibility that I had thyroid cancer a few weeks ago. (I know that it's one the "best" types of cancer to get, but that doesn't comfort you very much when you hear the big "C"...

  24. Students who are mothers of preschoolers, your study tips/inspiration?

    animal1993 replied to Blessed2beStressed's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have a 4yo and a 1yo. If my husband isn't home, I have to wait until my DS (the 1yo) takes his nap to get any serious study time in. As for my 4yo DD, I set her up at the dining room table with...

  25. Hondros in Cincinnati

    animal1993 replied to mitchsa's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Hello again! Well, that does sound a little odd. Maybe the person who handles all of the financial aid just isn't organized? Our FA person is always on top of things, so I guess that's the...
