  1. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    Nonick9700 replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    I'm glad I was in no rush to start classes! I applied on June 13th. My transcripts were received by OU within the next few weeks. I finally received the official email verifying my enrollment into the...

  2. Extreme anxiety

    Nonick9700 replied to Vtachy1's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Our medical director was just telling us last week that new research is showing (proving?) Ativan/benzo's are either not effective or actually increasing the anxiety. I haven't seen this research...

  3. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    Nonick9700 replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    I must have been lucky enough to get into the new registration system. I sent my application in on June 13th and received an email notice that it was received, along with one of my two transcripts,...

  4. It has officially been 48 hours. Where are my results?!?

    Nonick9700 replied to DA314's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I checked bne.com and I'm not sure what that site is. Google your state board of nursing and check there. In Ohio we show up as pending once our paperwork is in, then our license shows up the day...

  5. Help - NCLEX RN test on hold - Received appeal letter from Pearsonvue

    Nonick9700 replied to praying220's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think this would be very hard to appeal since (at least at my test center) you had to read and agree to the rules, which clearly stated no phone use at any time - including rest room breaks. Good...

  6. is checking BON site same as checking PEARSON VUE?

    Nonick9700 replied to bumblebee2010's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In Ohio we can look up our license online. It shows up the next business day after passing. We no longer receive a paper license, employers view/print them

  7. How long to wait for license number?

    Nonick9700 replied to TiggerBelly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  8. Those who passed NCLEX: what were your practice test scores?

    Nonick9700 replied to malapata's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats malapata! I tracked my progress as a studied, as I did it on my own since I could not afford $350+ for a review class. I did 1,500 practice questions, most from Kaplan strategy book and...

  9. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    Nonick9700 replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took the test Thursday, got the 'good' pop up about an hour later, which cut off at 75 questions. Found out on the Ohio Board of Nursing site Friday I passed! Thank God it's over! On to my BSN :)...

  10. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    Nonick9700 replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    I've found this thread very interesting! I just passed the state test for my RN and applied to OU. Unfortunately, my "enrollment specialist" failed to tell me about the deadlines. I am doubtful one...

  11. What is your response to lay people?

    Nonick9700 replied to Vtachy1's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I agree with you all - it's rewarding! I explain to them how rewarding it is to help someone get comfortable and stay comfortable. I also love that I can focus on one patient at a time and give them...

  14. Advice needed

    Nonick9700 replied to dreamriderRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I think you are rightfully concerned. Our medical director is wonderful - available 24/7 and approachable. Your DON and the aide are both doing things outside their scope. Why is the aide measuring...

  15. Anger or Violence from Families after a Death?

    Nonick9700 replied to hrn1's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    We had a patient in a "rough" neighborhood, in a duplex with very "interesting characters" to put it mildly. It was agreed upon by all staff that none of us would visit there alone. It was also...

  16. RN's In Nursing Homes ?

    Nonick9700 replied to The Anderson Nursing's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The issue that always irked me were how STNA's are handled at the LTC I've worked at. I've been an aide, I know many good aides - this is not an attack on aides in any way. However, we all know or...

  17. Ohio laws for the legal NA to resident get up

    Nonick9700 replied to littlemiseternity's topic in Ohio Nursing
