  1. ****** off at CSCC

    shortnorthstudent replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Congrats. You guys really finished up early. How'd 110 and 100

  2. Does your school require you to do work over the summer?

    shortnorthstudent replied to morningdew's topic in General Students

    We have a summer term. We have 3 weeks off between spring and summer terms. But, I will be studying over the break because we have our first HESI in early July and passing is a must or you cannot...

  3. relationship between respirations and fevers

    shortnorthstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    I haven't looked for the evidence basis of incentive spirometry for post-surgical fever reduction. However, I have heard it on the floor quite often and have seen it appear to work several

  4. Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    shortnorthstudent replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    I understand that generally you gain additional responsibility as you progress through your program. What I was curious about were the comments that seem to indicate that in some programs students do...

  5. Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    shortnorthstudent replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    This is a bit off topic, but from reading, it sounds like many of the students here are giving only PO or non-narcotic meds. Those who are giving meds without direct supervision - are you doing...

  6. OB Rotations

    shortnorthstudent replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    My school has OB as our first hospital based clinical. Assessment, teaching and PO/IM meds were the primary focus. We spent the majority of our time in postpartum with one day in L&D and one day...

  7. Nursing school now first come first serve?

    shortnorthstudent replied to lemonbug's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school actually fills their seats basically this way. The explanation that was given is that because it is a community college, the State requires them to be equitable in admissions. In order to...

  8. Anatomy & Physiology (1 and 2) + Microbiology = SUMMER

    shortnorthstudent replied to nerfs-mode-on's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't do it personally, but everyone is different. You really need to know all of those subjects when you get to nursing school. Generally I have found taht professors expect you to know the...

  9. ****** off at CSCC

    shortnorthstudent replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    FYI - you may find this not to be true in furture quaters depending on where you are for future clinicals. Lots of units in local hospitals do not have sufficient PCAs (or whatever they call them on...

  10. Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    shortnorthstudent replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    While a nursing license doesn't mean that someone should assume what a student does or doesn't know, the license is what says that they are allowed to perform within the scope of practice of a...

  11. Nurse/Student ratio at clinicals

    shortnorthstudent replied to ggmugsy's topic in General Students

    We have about 80 in our cohort. We have between 7-8 per clinical group and have groups at 6 different hospitals, so we don't have more than 2 groups (from our cohort - althought here may be other...

  12. Can student administer medication without RN supervision?

    shortnorthstudent replied to AnneN's topic in General Students

    The hospital I have been at for the last couple of clinicals has computers in each room and the med, patient and nurse must all be scanned for each med. In the case of the student nurse, that means...

  13. how far is your clinical?

    shortnorthstudent replied to cgravier's topic in General Students

    I live in a suburb of a fairly large city (in the top 20 population in the US). My school is basically downtown, so about 10 miles (10-20 minutes depending on traffic) from my home. There are about 10...

  14. Possible to get straight A's in nursing school?

    shortnorthstudent replied to kaiasunshine's topic in General Students

    It is certainly possible. There is a lot of information and it really takes focus to not only learn the material (which I don't think is all that difficult in itself) and learn to think like a...

  15. Nursing Drug Guide/Handbook recommendations

    shortnorthstudent replied to foreverLaur's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but I think you are at the same school as I am. You will definitely need a drug guide with nursing implications. Epocrates is a great app, but you will need additional...

  16. Is it like this at every school or is it just mine?

    shortnorthstudent replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    My MedSurg I course starting this week has: Monday 3 hour lecture - the entire 80ish of us are in this specific room at this time. There is no choice given. This is the theory portion of the course....

  17. CSCC - Starting March 2011

    shortnorthstudent replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    You won't need one first quarter. There are several good apps. Some are free, but be sure that they have a section on nursing implications. Mosby, Lippincott, Davis - they all have good

  18. Yahoo! Who else just finished their quarter?!

    shortnorthstudent replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    My quarter ended today as well! I can hardly believe I'm a 3rd quarter nursing

  19. What semester did you learn each skill?

    shortnorthstudent replied to debstmomy's topic in General Students

    Interesting. prior to applying for nursing school we have to take 2 CNA type classes: transfers, bed making, baths, v/s, foleys, tube feeding, wound care, stoma care, cvc dressing changes, several...

  20. CSCC - Starting March 2011

    shortnorthstudent replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Congrats ForeverLaur. I was reading the OSU thread and saw that you must have worked everything out with your background check. I bet that's a big relief. Did I see there that you were able to...

  21. CSCC - Starting March 2011

    shortnorthstudent replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Oh no. Can you go and talk to security and see if perhaps they have other ideas on ways to get the glass to take your prints? There's gotta be someone there who is best at getting people positioned...

  22. If you FAIL a semester, how many chances do you get to finish?

    shortnorthstudent replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    First failure you can retake in 6 months with the class behind you. 2nd failure and you are out, have to reapply and would start from the very beginning of the program over again (regardless of where...

  23. Clinical Instructor - PLEASE give me your thoughts/advice!

    shortnorthstudent replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    That wouldn't be okay in my school. We are only allowed to perform skills we have been checked off on. It's our job to know what skills we are allowed to perform unattended. We need our instructors...

  24. Negativity from Classmates

    shortnorthstudent posted a topic in General Students

    Is anyone else experiencing a great deal of negativity from classmates? I am finding that I have classmates, who do nothing but complain - it's not fair that the teachers pick specific facts out of...

  25. Negativity from Classmates

    shortnorthstudent replied to shortnorthstudent's topic in General Students

    I agree that it's everywhere to a certain extent. But, I am surprised by the amount I have encountered it since returning to college. Perhaps when I was 18 and in college I didn't notice it (hmmm,...
