  1. Hi! I think I understand what you are asking!!! If I don't answer your exact questions, feel free to pm me. You can't take the NCLEX until after you graduate, and the school sends your...
  2. Hello! I recently graduated from the LPN program at Hondros College, and am currently enrolled in their RN program. However, due to financial reasons, I have decided that I am going to have to...
  3. Help me save my poor hands

    I really like Glove Me Tender from Bath & Body Works. Also, when my hands get really cracked and sore, I have been known to slather on some Desitin (reg. not creamy) while I watch tv. I'm always...
  4. Bohecker Accreditation

    That will all depend on whether or not Bohecker completely loses their accreditation with the OBON. Right now, they have Provisional approval, which means they used to have Full approval, but lost it...
  5. How does a new grad LPN get "experience"?

    Wow! Thanks for the links!!! I am in the process of "freshening up" my resume, and these opportunities will get me off to a great

    Typically, you will find out after HESI. Unfortunately, you will probably find that it will cause a lot of drama among your classmates--I have heard from multiple sources that it was said that I...
  7. The first time you ever used a needle and/or cath

    I haven't started an IV on anyone, yet, but I have given many injections. I have also done foley catheters (all female). None of them were too bad. I think if you really know your catheter...
  8. Hondoros college-cincinnati

    Hello again! First term isn't really too bad. The only class you are required to take is A&P I, because you have already taken all of the gen eds for that term (they're the ones you took in the...
  9. Hondoros college-cincinnati

    Hi mitchsa! I am first term RN. Unfortunately, you cannot move Micro to your first term, because A&P I is a prerequisite for that class. Also, I'm not sure if they are going to change it back,...
  10. to atkins or not

    You are welcome! And, I am glad to hear that you have the books to guide you! I think you will be surprised by how different the Atkins diet is, compared to what you have heard from people who have...
  11. to atkins or not

    Atkins is hands down the most effective way I have ever lost weight. (You just have to have the willpower to keep going with it!) I don't consider it to be a "fad diet"--if you really think about...
  12. HESI during Nursing school?

    That is exactly why they do it. They know that if you do well on HESI, you are more than likely to do well on NCLEX. My school requires an 850 on the exit HESI in order to graduate. They have it...

  14. Drug-Seekers

    First bolded sentence--If you really knew me, you would realize that I have zero interest in anyone's sympathy. Again, I was simply trying to add some perspective to the "discussion". Second bolded...
  15. Drug-Seekers

    Hmm....OK. I'm not sure I'm following you on that one. The OP started a discussion about drug seekers, and how ER staff deal with them. In addition to sharing one of my own personal experiences...

    Why? Because my opinion doesn't happen to agree with
  17. Drug-Seekers

    Wow! I was a little worried for a second! (So much so, that I went back and reread my post.) I'm not seeing anywhere in my post where I directly or indirectly compared you (or anyone else for that...
  18. Drug-Seekers

    What is so funny about
  19. Drug-Seekers

    Reading some of these posts reminds me of one of the two visits to the ER I have ever had to make. Thankfully, both of them happened before I started NS, so I did not have the medical knowledge I...
  20. maintaining pt confidentiality

    I would think that as long as you are not using any information that could be used to identify a certain pt, you are not violating HIPAA. When asking for help with a care plan, don't say "I have a pt...
  21. Hondros College of Nursing - Input??????

    I agree--I think you will find it a challenge to work full-time while going through the program. I know some people who have done it, but I don't think I could. I don't even think it would be the...
  22. Ooh...I didn't think of that! That's a good
  23. if your instructors get upset by this, then all i can say is that they have obviously never had a c-section! i have had 2, and i was glad that my nurses made pain management a #1 priority for me!...
  24. Does any one know the answer to this??

    Typically, you would want to stay away from beverages with caffeine (and that goes for any test question, regardless of condition), so that would leave the lemonade and the milkshake. I would have...
  25. Hondoros college-cincinnati

    Hello again! Here is a link to another Hondros thread. (I hope it works!) You'll probably find answers to most of your questions there, as we have all had many of the same questions that you do....
