  7. 4560 Gerentology Fall 13

    BacktotheBeach replied to cincinursemary's topic in Ohio University

    Nope, they were like 1 small sentence quotes 7-10 words. I'm not going to make waves for 1 point. Her comments were extremely complimentary on the post, it was just that one thing she took off on, so...

  11. How does your unit make the nursing schedule?

    BacktotheBeach replied to smb84's topic in General Nursing

    BacktotheBeach replied to woodsyny's topic in Ohio University

    This is truly THE worst OU class IMO. So we are to pay $40 bucks for some online test we use one week!! Am I correct on that? This is the most work I have ever seen required and I spent more on these...

    BacktotheBeach replied to swansonplace's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Some places give the pbds test. Performance based development test. It has scenarios and how you would respond. I believe that as a new grad, your result is not a big deal, its more on what to focus...

    I agree, and also very close to the Healthy People paragraph! By the way, how do we turn in that Healthy People paragraph? There is not a safe assign link on my assignment.

  18. How much of your cohort did you "lose"?

    BacktotheBeach replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    My ADN program at a community college started with 110 students. We only graduated 52 at the end!!! I believe the school was weeding out so we would have a great NCLEX pass rate. Only 1 student out of...

  23. Proctored exams ?

    BacktotheBeach replied to penneflower's topic in Ohio University

  24. Proctored exams ?

    BacktotheBeach replied to penneflower's topic in Ohio University

    No, if you don't live near OU or a branch campus, you can take it lots of different places, like libraries, other colleges, or your hospital library. For stats, I did drive about 45 min to a branch...
