  1. Mercy College of NW Ohio ADRN ?

    Streamline2010 posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    http://www.mercycollege.edu/future-students/nursing/ I am looking for opinions or experiences with their ADRN program.

  2. I passed my first semester of nursing school!

    Streamline2010 replied to mrsnurse2014's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congratulations! Keep up the hard work, LOL. I have a friend who is now a M.D. When he got to the end of his rope and went crying to his counselor that he was so exhausted and didn't even have...

  3. How Old is "to old" to START a nursing education?

    Streamline2010 replied to Greenlee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was 52 when I started, with 2 college degrees and a 20-year career behind me. I elected to drop out of RN school because nursing wasn't for me. The one and ONLY "physical demand" that gave me any...

  4. Human Growth and Development

    Streamline2010 replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing classes will always refer back to the various theories of development, over and over. Practically every clinical assessment and care plan I did in N II and N III asked me to determine what...

  5. couldn't wait for ADN acceptance, now kind of terrified

    Streamline2010 replied to breanna91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you get in there and work, work, work, you should do fine! :-) Nursing I is kind of a catch-all course. The "kitchen sink." LOL It's a hogepodge of seemingly unrelated topics, but it's...

  6. Help With Physiological and Psychosocial Nursing Diagnosis

    Streamline2010 replied to Joni's Mom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Nursing process is a roadmap for determining patient's needs and then planning, administering care, then evaluating whether or not it achieved the goal. As a nurse, you can't just do something because...

  7. Heads up to all new nursing students:

    Streamline2010 replied to Nursing2102's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had the opposite experience: Started nursing school thrilled, excited, deadly serious about succeeding, willing to do it day and night or whatever it takes, striving for perfection. And...

  8. ABSN students with a bad work ethic

    Streamline2010 replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Students

    I've talked to a lot of older adults who are back in school. This "team building" stuff is the current educational fad in many degrees now. The older students say that generally the division of...

  9. Out of town clinical sites?

    Streamline2010 replied to sjalv's topic in General Students

    I think that the associate degree program at Butler, PA community college sends students from Butler to Kittanning (20-25 miles one way) and Franklin (50 miles one way), PA, and some other places....

  10. Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

    Streamline2010 replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    How does it bring maturity: Come back and answer that after you've worked 10 years or more and have paid off loans, and have changed and upgraded your skills to stay current in your field, and/or...

  11. Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

    Streamline2010 replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In the business world, a long-range plan is 5 years nowadays. Presuming that any one person will reside 40 years in the same region, let alone work 40 years for a single employer, is sheer...

  12. Finished Pre-Nursing, Need help on ADN or BSN??

    Streamline2010 replied to zawadi33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Microbiology was required for every associate degree and diploma nursing program that I looked at. (Pennsylvania still has diploma schools, and they require just as much if not more college than...

  13. So confused on how to get into a nursing program

    Streamline2010 replied to MetroMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing schools can have different admissions and prerequisite requirements. The math you need is really not full college algebra, but the college or university might require college algebra. Some...

  14. Opening for BSN programs

    Streamline2010 replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The schools that I applied to: One had a rule that if you got 80 or better on their preadmission test and you wanted in, you're in. First come, first served, no points ranking. They filled the...

  15. It's been 5 yrs since I've taken pre-requisite courses, should I retake them?

    Streamline2010 replied to cmalabay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How will they handle a student who took, say, A&P I, then took it again, but those credits are all over 5 years old now? There has to be a third time to get fresh credits, if they are standing...

  16. ADN BSN

    Streamline2010 replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most hospitals have a plan to have all nurses be BSRN by some date and have given current employees a deadline by which they must get the BSRN. Some have officially stated that they quit hiring...

  17. Lab Tech to RN

    Streamline2010 replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the school and how old the credits are. Some schools say "within the past 5 years" and some accept older credits than

  18. Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts?

    Streamline2010 replied to jdubs99's topic in General Nursing

    There must be a female personality that is a natural fit for nursing, and I definitely am not it. Are you SERIOUS, that your husband can't handle the household carpwork and the kid for more than 2...

  19. Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts?

    Streamline2010 replied to jdubs99's topic in General Nursing

    They absolutely should feel overworked and underpaid. Nursing in my local has a $22/hr starting pay but it's about a $33/hr responsibility even for a new-grad. I quit nursing school, and one of...

  20. Critical care math using dimensional analysis

    Streamline2010 replied to RetrieverGirl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Dimensional is also called Factor Label Method. I used it in engineering. Having all of the units cross out at the end so that you are left with just the correct units (mg, mm, lb, kg, volume per...

  21. hourly wage

    Streamline2010 replied to lossholly's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    ^ That's what it was in NW Pennsylvania in 2001, the last year I looked, and actually it was more on the $8.50 side so US$9.00 might be where it is now. I have heard that CNAs in the Washington, PA...

  22. What is the process for getting into your school's LVN program?

    Streamline2010 replied to smartypants22's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It's probably going to be different for a college degree LPN program than for a vo-tech school type program. Most LPN programs here are 11-12 months full time days. Requirements for the typical...

  23. Should I get a nice car as a new LPN/LVN?

    Streamline2010 replied to NursingBro's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Since you are undecided about whether or not to stick with LPN and your online biz isn't established and proven, keep your money and continue to drive the old car. Cash in the bank is power. There...

  24. I found out I have an "F"

    Streamline2010 replied to amberdawn85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Schools only use certain classes to point-rank students competitively . If the F is in a class that isn't used for that ranking, they will see it but it shouldn't count. If it's a class that's part...

  25. New to nursing and college itself. I have a question about pre reqs.

    Streamline2010 replied to FloatyFlowers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Read the school's RN admission requirements. The college catalog tell you classes are used as admission requirements. Generally you have to take specific classes incl. A&P I and II and maybe...
