I work in Toledo and have never heard of The Toledo School Of Practical Nursing. However, I would say go to both schools and check them out and see which one you like best. Are you thinking of relocating to this area? Owens Community College in Perry...
I agree with the others. It sounds like you did everything you could. It was just his time to go. He was among those who loved him most when his time came. I will keep you and your children in my prayers and please keep us all posted on how you and ...
I got 75 questions done in 45 minutes. The two day wait for results was the longest two days of my life! I too left there feeling that I had to be the most ignorant person on the planet! I was so dumb that the test just stopped! Two days later, I pai...
Hello, If you want to stay in OB, then The Toledo Hospital is probably where you would want to go. Flower Hospital is nice, as is St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center. If you want to get out of OB, then University of Toledo Medical Center (formerly the M...

I was on maternity leave and at the exact moment that the first plane hit, I was at the bus stop getting my two older boys off to school. I left the t.v. on, as I was only gone for 10 minutes or so. When I came back home I remember Charles Gibson say...

Dear, you have my support. You did just what you should have for this patient. He was telling you he was in pain, and it was your responsibility to advocate for him. I know I would want someone to advocate that much for me if I was the one in that be...
I laminated my nursing license. I looked all over the back of it and all over the other papers I got after I got my license and I didn't find anything anywhere that said we couldn't. I laminated my social security card too. Again, I couldn't find any...

At my facility, LPN's cannot hang blood, or be the second signature, they can go and get the blood though, anyone can go and get it at our facility. Even the unit secretaries go and get it. LPN's can maintain it once the RN has started it. They canno...
I too live "up north" near Toledo and just recently visited Greenville about an hour south of Lima and it was like a whole different world down there. Don't get me wrong, everyone was nice, but they all had accents. BTW, I have also heard green pepp...
I have PF also and I got a pair of orthotics from the Podiatrist, and insurance paid 90percent. My share was $40 out of $400. I couldn't complain. I also did physical therapy, stretches, ibuprofen and Nike Airliner walking shoes. I was pain free for ...

True, very true, the parking IS terrible at Owens! Yes, there is a long wait as well, but I didn't know it was 2009 I thought it was only until fall of 2007! Well, I work at MUO and I like it very much. Good luck to you.
