  1. Staffing gaps and gaffs

    Blondenurse83 replied to SunDazed's topic in General Nursing

    My facility also staffs in 4 hour increments. My unit has had low census lately, so we are being floated often. My floor only has nurses working 12 hour shifts, but our sister unit has some nurses...

  3. Third tier class requirements for Ohio

  4. 4530 Who is in?

    Blondenurse83 replied to woodsyny's topic in Ohio University

    I got dinged a point for the reading level. I tried my best to make it simpe but I guess it wasn't simple enough. What a dumb assignment, in my opinion...how many nurses write letters like that?! Ugh...

  8. 4520 Starting 9/30 whose in?

    Blondenurse83 replied to woodsyny's topic in Ohio University

    Shan, I am confused on that as well! Someone posed the question two days ago to my TA and shocker, no response! And no grades for last week either so it looks like I will be submitting my assignments...

  9. 4520 Starting 9/30 whose in?

    Blondenurse83 replied to woodsyny's topic in Ohio University

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

    Blondenurse83 replied to nursebythesea's topic in General Nursing

  12. 4510 and "Dr. Paper"

    Blondenurse83 replied to mandyjk77's topic in Ohio University

    Blondenurse83 replied to momofseven's topic in Ohio University

    Mary, I noticed the same thing. I also have no idea how I am going to write 2-3 paragraphs on each question. Some of them could be answered in a sentence.

    Blondenurse83 replied to momofseven's topic in Ohio University

    I am doing an online RN to BSN program, and it is completely doable for me working full time nights. But if I was doing a classroom program requiring face to face time, that might be a different...
