  1. NRSE 4600

    The key is to have a topic that interests you, and that has lots of research behind it. Did you do okay on week 1? I'm just starting the week 2
  2. Attention tall nurses!!!

    I'm just shy of 5'10, and swear by Koi's whole line. Naturally, one of the most expensive is the one that fits me the best! I have long muscular legs, and their tall lengths have fit me perfectly from...
  3. Which nursing program in Cincinnati?

    I'm a Cincy State grad. I got a job at CCHMC....the hospital notorious for never ever ever hiring ADN nurses. I'm doing OU's RN-BSN program, about 16 months total. After all is said and done, I'll...
  4. Cincinnati Ohio

    Suzy is bitter lol I've lived here my whole life. Like any mid sized city, it has its perks and faults. Hospital wise, it has great choices! The market is as saturated here as any other in
  5. Anyone in 4510 this summer?

    This is the worst class by far. Get through this with your 80% and you're good to go
  6. RN-BSN Program at Ohio University

    I work 3 12s at night as well. It's a nonissue. That's the beauty of online programs - everything is due by midnight but it doesn't matter when you do it! :) OU has the same problems that other RN-BSN...
  7. Questions regarding assignments

    The project in nursing excellence can get quite lengthy, from what I've heard. Once you get over your fear of paper writing (and you will, because the first class is nothing but dry boring papers!),...
  8. This needs to be stated.

    Apparently a lot of ADN programs don't include gero. They should let you test out of nursing
  9. Cincinnati State Nursing Program?

    Why not do Cincy State's RN program instead? I'm sure the wait list is longer for the RN program, but it might be less time (definitely cheaper!) to do that program and RN to BSN somewhere else. I'm...
  10. STATS Psy 1110 at OU

    I spent more time on this class than most of my nursing ones. Lots of repetition is what helped me through it. I spent way too many afternoons toiling over the modules, reworking the formulas until I...
  11. STATS Psy 1110 at OU

    I took it a year ago. That class is really involved. If you want some responses, you may need a give a few more details about your specific difficulties. Just a
  12. Question about IV push and incompatible med

    Alaris tubing contains 16mls of fluid, from the air sensor to the end of the line. If you pause the incompatible med and allow enough time for the compatible fluid to flush the line entirely, you'd be...
  13. 4520 starting 03/24/14

    That kinda sucks.....now you HAVE to do the actual assessments
  14. 4520 was super heavy, assignment wise....and annoying lol I started back in May, have taken one nursing class every 5 weeks, and I'll be done in September. I could've been done this summer but I...
  15. Anything is possible, but I think you're
  16. OU "Reading Day"

    Well, to be fair......we get what we paid for. You can't expect to take 5 week classes and get a break. It is what it is. This has been a pain in the butt but I'll have my BSN in 16 months. It's...
  17. NRSE 4550 Evidence based practice starting Jan 13

    What the bloody hell is this DB post supposed to be? lol Maybe I'm tired because I keep reading it and have no clue what I'm supposed to write. I think that's a sign to go to
  18. NRSE 4550 Evidence based practice starting Jan 13

    I am over blackboard this term! I just posted a journal entry and 2 discussion board responses late because it took Bb over an hour to work correctly. It was for business comm so we'll see what...
  19. NRSE 4550 Evidence based practice starting Jan 13

    Someone on the FB page said the Evolve website was a really big help. Apparently a lot of the quiz questions are coming from there.....which explains a lot. I remember using those sample questions to...
  20. NRSE 4550 Evidence based practice starting Jan 13

    I still have a high B. Just gotta hold on for 3 more weeks....ugh. This class is going as predicted for me. These "quizzes" are brain numbing but could you imagine trying to write a 2-5 page paper...
  21. NRSE 4550 Evidence based practice starting Jan 13

    I'm in....and I'll graduate this fall =) Last class will be in
  22. Statistics online at Ohio

    I took this class last summer and found both books through Chegg. You'll get it in plenty of
  23. PRCM 3250J starting 8/26..anyone in?

    Anyone complete the academic outreach section of this class? Do I really need that custom book or can I get by with the hardback version? I don't care if the chapters aren't in the same order. I just...
  24. 4530 Who is in?

    I missed 12 points total. All APA related. I love BSN
  25. Hospital Units with Longest patient stays

    You can get hired as a new grad to peds oncology. Just be prepared to hit the ground running. I was a PCA on my floor for two years so I had the advantage of knowing the families. But still....I had a...
