    Awesome info - thank you so much! Now I know where to

  3. E books, anyone?

    ShantheRN posted a topic in Ohio University

    So instead of doubling the pile of useless textbooks currently residing in my bookcase, I would prefer some e books. Someone posted in this forum about using their iPad for this but for the life of...

  4. ohio university may 2013

    ShantheRN replied to shaniarose's topic in Ohio University

    I just looked and there are quite a few classes that are only 4 weeks? Well I guess technically 4 weeks 3 days. I'm in the academic outreach initiative so that might make a difference. There are some...

  5. How long does it take to get your financial aid information from Ohio University????

    ShantheRN replied to mmmlaugh's topic in Ohio University

    It depends on how long it takes the dept of education to process your FAFSA. You get your EFC as soon as you submit your forms. They'll send info to your school, and it will be determined how much and...

  6. ohio university may 2013

    ShantheRN replied to shaniarose's topic in Ohio University

    I will only have 3 classes simultaneously. 3 of them are only 4 weeks. I'm working full time and have no intention of dropping my FTE. I got my first nursing degree while working full time so I'm not...

    ShantheRN replied to shaniarose's topic in Ohio University

    I'm starting in May as well. I'm taking 4510, stats, nutrition, and business communication. I have no idea about the financial aid stuff because I plan on making my employer foot the bill! I did fill...

  8. Pediatric oncology

    ShantheRN replied to Rjschultz801's topic in Pediatric

    Like Kel said, it depends on the unit. At my hospital, BMT is its own unit and my unit is hem/onc. Our inpatients are scheduled chemo admits and acute illness. A 6 hour chemo class is required before...

    ShantheRN replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    This thread is full of win! ...when you've been on a staycation for the past two weeks and still eat dinner around 0200 and consider going to bed at 0500 going to bed early. ...seeing bright daylight...

  10. Do you think my boss is going to fire me? Advice please!

    ShantheRN replied to chinacatRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with the PP. Move on. Thankfully you have your agency to pick up hours. FWIW, I'm recovering from the same injury. I did it while running, and it didn't start bothering me until 2 days after...

  11. Is 12.50/hr an average LPN wage for this area?

    ShantheRN replied to grace.z's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I hope that isn't right! I made that as a

  12. SHOES!

    ShantheRN replied to ATerzoLPN2RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Buyer beware on the Danskos. I wore them for 3 years without a complaint...then the pain started. There's a reason why podiatrists hate those shoes. I loved them because I have flat feet and they gave...

  13. Best teaching hospitals for new grads (peds)

    ShantheRN replied to SusGob711's topic in Pediatric

    You're in Ohio and you don't know a good teaching hospital in peds? Check the southern border

  14. Read this email my NM sent to all the nurses.

    ShantheRN replied to GummibearsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps the email could've been written in a more professional manner, but I'm perfectly fine with the message. We had a similar situation on my unit. We were sent an email stating that all work...

  15. Interview advice for a Pediatric Oncology/Hematology position.

    ShantheRN replied to chitownbound's topic in Pediatric

    I agree with Kel's advice. As a new grad, they're not going to expect you to know the specifics. It takes a couple of years in hem/onc before you start feeling like you really know what you're doing...

  16. PPE

    ShantheRN replied to mappers's topic in Oncology

    It depends on the patient's treatment plan. I work 3 days a week and often give chemo every day of it. Multiple drugs depending on the

  17. Moving to Seattle alone?

    ShantheRN replied to aprilfresh's topic in Washington Nursing

    Anyone made the move yet? I'm finishing my BSN and squirreling away more money before I start seriously applying for positions. I'm thinking 2014 is my year! I'm too chicken to haul myself across the...

  18. PPE

    ShantheRN replied to mappers's topic in Oncology

    Gloves, gown (thicker material than our normal PPE gowns,) mask with face shield. I work inpatient

  19. RN Residency?

    ShantheRN replied to Swellz's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the area. My residency program was a monthly 4 hour seminar, and to be honest.....I dreaded it. Mainly because it was either at 0800 or 1300....horrible times for night shifters,...

  20. PediaTRICKS- Share your PEDIATRIC TRICKS OF THE TRADE

    ShantheRN replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in Pediatric

    There's something to be said for good old fashioned bribery. If our Child Life department ever runs out of stickers, we could be in trouble! And holding noses shut to make kids take meds? Not too...

  21. Pediatric oncology nursing

    ShantheRN replied to torashl's topic in General Nursing

    I started as a new grad in peds oncology. No extra schooling needed :) Once I started there was a lot of continuing education but it's all given at the hospital. For example, I had to get radiation...

  22. Moving to Seattle alone?

    ShantheRN replied to aprilfresh's topic in Washington Nursing

    This is great news! I just sent off my app for WA endorsement. I have a year of experience as well except it's in

  23. UH/Cleveland Clinic Tuition Benefits

    ShantheRN replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    You get $7500/year for graduate tuition. The power of google brought me here: http://my.clevelandclinic.org/Documents/Careers/2011%20benefit%20summary%20booklet.pdf This lists all of their employee...

  24. Punching out within 6 minutes of shift end, anyone??

    ShantheRN replied to martymoose's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We use Kronos as well and have the 6 minute rule. If I clock out by 0745, I consider it a victory. As long as I'm out the door by 0800 I'm good. There have been a few crazy shifts where I didn't leave...

  25. Moving to Seattle alone?

    ShantheRN replied to aprilfresh's topic in Washington Nursing

    Hey I'm hoping to do this in the next 6 months and I'm from Ohio too :) I hope it's doable cuz I'm gonna do it
