  1. Do you have 30 minutes for lunch?

    ShantheRN replied to Kurious RN's topic in General Nursing

    I will always take my breaks. I may have to stay 15-30 mins late to finish charting, but so be it. I have to eat and drink, and since I can't do that on the floor....my breaks cover that. I need the...

  2. 4520 Starting 9/30 whose in?

    ShantheRN replied to woodsyny's topic in Ohio University

    I can state with utmost confidence that these assessments are the most pointless, time consuming assignments I've had as a nursing student. These next 2 weeks cannot come fast

  3. How do I break into pediatric oncology as a new grad?

    ShantheRN replied to JodiMineyPoyma's topic in Oncology

    I worked as a PCA on peds hem/onc during school and I'm a nurse there now. From what I've seen of our new hires, any peds or oncology experience is a plus. My unit also loves CPNs, which you can't get...

  4. 4520 Starting 9/30 whose in?

    ShantheRN replied to woodsyny's topic in Ohio University

    The week 3 announcement made me snort. "We hope you have learned a lot at this halfway point." Yes....I've learned that charting by exception rather than stating every single nuance of a patient is...

  5. 4520 Starting 9/30 whose in?

    ShantheRN replied to woodsyny's topic in Ohio University

    It is physically painful to do these assignments.

  6. What nursing habits do you take home?

    ShantheRN replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I was at my friend's house, playing with her 6 month old. She needed a diaper change so I scooped her up, put her on the changing table, the whole time chatting away to her mom.....and then I froze...

  7. Would you commute an hour to a job you wanted?

    ShantheRN replied to nursebythesea's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I would loathe spending that much time in my car. Then again, I live in the Midwest where I can get pretty much anywhere in 30 minutes or less. I currently have an 8 minute commute, soon...

  8. 4520 Starting 9/30 whose in?

    ShantheRN replied to woodsyny's topic in Ohio University

    One week in and I still have an A. More than I expected

  9. To study or not to study????

    ShantheRN replied to rubato's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Something to consider - some unfortunate people get every single question, regardless of how well they're doing. I found taking the longer practice tests was a good prep because answering 100+...

  10. Suggestions please, New grad asking for help

    ShantheRN replied to Just and R.N's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Keep doing exactly what you're doing! I know 3 months seems like an eternity but it's just a blip on the job market. I agree with a PP about getting those loans deferred asap. If they're federal, it's...

  11. Why do you work night shift?

    ShantheRN replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in General Nursing

    This. I rotated for an extremely long 3 months and I wanted to be violent every time my alarm went off at 0515. I can't do it. Going days would cut my salary by almost $10,000 and make the work...

  12. 4520 Starting 9/30 whose in?

    ShantheRN replied to woodsyny's topic in Ohio University

    I just read this week's assignments. I kinda want to cry lol As it is, I'm going back to bed! I need more sleep to handle this

  13. To study or not to study????

    ShantheRN replied to rubato's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The huge difference between HESI and NCLEX is the former tests content, whereas the latter tests application of that content. You can have the world's most precise photographic memory, ace...

  14. 4520 Starting 9/30 whose in?

    ShantheRN replied to woodsyny's topic in Ohio University

    I just realized a big part of why this class has me so annoyed. I have done these assignments before! The pain in the *&^#$ health assessment was the first assignment I had as a nursing student 4...

  15. 4520 Starting 9/30 whose in?

    ShantheRN replied to woodsyny's topic in Ohio University

    I cannot get this stupid genogram right! Anyone know if it's acceptable to do it by hand and send a scanned copy? I'm ready to throw my laptop..... Never mind. Google saved me and my laptop! So...

  16. 4520 Starting 9/30 whose in?

    ShantheRN replied to woodsyny's topic in Ohio University

    Well.....I hated health assessment in my ADN program, mainly because it was a bunch of busy work that was extremely time consuming. Apparently the trend continues. 7 chapters of reading plus a bunch...

  17. 4520 Starting 9/30 whose in?

    ShantheRN replied to woodsyny's topic in Ohio University

    I have to find people to assess. Ugh. For the first time ever I wish I didn't live alone. This is annoying, even after a full day of sleep lol Oh well.....it's only 5

    ShantheRN replied to sarahdanielle14's topic in Pediatric

    Peds is awesome. I've been in it for 4 years and I don't see myself ever leaving it. People don't understand how taking care of sick kids can fill you with such....joy. I always love reading about...

  22. mask or flu shot?

    ShantheRN replied to woodsyny's topic in Ohio University

    Did you guys see they gave us an extension on the community stats assignments and DB responses? They're not due till Monday night at midnight! I'm really digging this class so far, and I'm not even...
