1. Anyone has been enrolled at Owens Community College?

   mama2boyz replied to mtopolinski's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just came across this post and wanted to clarify something on the Owens wait lists. Yes, it seems outrageous when you first hear the wait list dates, but it's nowhere near as bad as it seems at first. I applied initiall in May of '09. I have a B...

2. Human Anatomy & Physiology book by Marieb 8th Ed.

   mama2boyz replied to fromjaxfl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have it in an unbound version. I've seperated out some of the chapters, so I'd need a couple days to get it back in order, but I'd be willing to sell it to you for $60 (includes shipping). I'm not sure if I have that particular companion book, bu...

3. Owens - anyone know what's happening?

   mama2boyz posted a topic in Ohio

   I heard last week about Owen's loosing their accreditation. I'm currently working on prereqs, so I haven't been too concerned about it...yet. But I'm wondering if anyone has any info/updates they can share. I need to rethink things for the spring...

   mama2boyz replied to MISSALISSA777's topic in Ohio

   I've never heard of it...I'd be interested in more info though! How much does it cost? How long is the program? etc. I'm currently working on prereqs at Owens, but due to financial concerns, I may have to drop out. Would love to find a more affo...

6. Becoming a nurse for the money...

   mama2boyz replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

   I wonder...do students/professionals in other fields sit around and debate/judge/argue personal reasons for going into their field as much as nurses around here seem to? I've elected to return to school for a second career for a plethora of reasons. ...

7. Which class would you take?

   mama2boyz posted a topic in General Students

   The ADN program I'm in does not require any sort of medical terminology course. However they do offer two different courses that I think might be beneficial. I just can't decide which to take. OAD 245 - Medical Terminology. 3credits offered by sch...

8. Any Owen's students here?

   mama2boyz replied to mama2boyz's topic in Ohio

   Aced the first quiz. :) It wasn't nearly as difficult as I was expecting it to be...but glad I put in several hours of studying. I heard a couple others saying they only got about half the answers correct.

9. Fall 2011 Hopefuls

   mama2boyz replied to Kyla.ann's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm hoping for Fall 2011 as well. I just started working on my prereqs this summer (had a couple classes transfer over from a previous degree). I should be finished with the prereqs Fall 2010. Can't apply for the RN program until then. Judging fr...

    mama2boyz replied to mama2boyz's topic in Ohio

    yep - I'm in nutrition this session. Which professor teaches the second session? I have Mary Beck - so far I really enjoy her...however we've only had one class. lol I'll let you know my thoughts after our quiz Wednesday. Thanks for the learning c...

11. Any Owen's students here?

    mama2boyz replied to mama2boyz's topic in Ohio

    Hi, thanks for the great response! I am planning to complete the program at Owens. I was really discouraged initially by the wait list, but financially, I just can't afford to go anywhere else. And when I went in to speak with an admissions advisor...

12. Any Owen's students here?

    mama2boyz posted a topic in Ohio

    I start my pre-nursing courses this week (thankfully I had a few transfer credits from BG, so only have a handful of prereqs to take). Just wondering if there are any of my classmates here...or folks a little ahead of me that can give advice on prof...

13. Where Can I find Nurses Hat?

    mama2boyz replied to josinda421's topic in Uniform/Gear

    My son was recently in the hospital for a month. One of the ped floor nurses always wore whites/cap. It was really neat to see...but at the same time, it looks so uncomfortable to me.

14. Fall 2009 A & P 1... who's with me?

    mama2boyz replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing

    count me in I'm taking Intro to Psych and Nutrition this summer. A&P1 in the fall - anyone else doing on on-line course? I have an associated lab with it and have no clue how that works (I think the school has open lab hours I can attend, but ...

15. Toledo Hospital PICU

    mama2boyz posted a topic in Ohio

    Throwing out a long shot here...are there any TCH PICU (or general peds floor) nurses on these boards? My son had a long stay in the PICU in March/April. Life has since been great, but super busy, and I have never gotten around to writing and sendin...
