Absolutely not. I can't tell you how many times I receive text messages from friends where the autocorrect has changed words. Bad enough that I have had to decipher doctors notes in charts, let alone text message shorthand.

I took College Algebra and US History together. I was swamped with my US History class, and my Algebra class suffered. I withdrew from the Algebra class. I plan to take the Algebra at a community college. Which seems to be the popular choice here on this board.

That actually gives me a glimmer of hope. Great idea sending official descriptions. I am content with the classes that they did give me credit for. It seems like a large group from this board have to take Technical Writing. After hearing about what a laborious class that is, kind of happy to check that one off on the good ol' course map. Appreciate the feedback!

Just curious if anyone has had to contact their academic advisor to challenge transfer credits not given credit for. I recently sent in a request to be given credit for two classes that I had taken at an accredited university. Hopefully someone has a transfer credit success story.

It appears that there are a few options, in history books. Unfortunately the link for the History 1312 class syllabus is not available yet. Can't imagine that required materials would be much different between instructors. Thanks for the link dcom!

Wow! Never knew that website existed. When signing up for classes, the university makes it sound like the books are only available at their bookstore. In the past I always went to the local bookstores near campus to get books. Unfortuantely my Algebra book is only offered by UTA, but I will defintely rent the rest of the way. Taking online classes at a university several states away is a new thing for me.Thank you for the quick response.

Hello all, Finished signing up for RN-BSN online classes that will be starting 10/22/12. Lucky me has to take History of the US 1312. I looked at the recommended book list, and it was extensive. Has any one taken this class? If so, what book would you recommend. Hate buying a ton of books that I will never use. Learned that lesson in Nursing school the first time. Thanks!

Just curious if anyone here has ever held a Wellness Fair at their worksite. In the midst of putting one together with several different vendors. Currently have the usual vendors: doctors, massage therapists, fitness gyms,etc. Didn't know if anyone had any possible unique vendor ideas I may be overlooking. I would like to make this as interactive for the employees as possible. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

* Being asked is the room and pt ready by anesthesia, when walking back from PACU. * Answering the surgeons phone throughout the entire case.

For the occasional "bovie" smoke and smelly code browns, I would dab the outside of my mask with mint toothpaste. I always kept a small tube of it handy. Always helped me.

I will look in to UNC Chapel Hill. I believe Bonnie Rogers may have some affiliation? I have a couple of books Occupational Health Nursing Guidelines that she authored. Always looking for ways to expand my OHN knowledge base.

On my days off, the calls usually went to voicemail. I always called back to decline, just as a courtesy. That way I wasn't faced with the anxiety of them calling again and again. I would also get calls later in the day to see if I could work in the evening. Ahhh the memories...

I started my new OHN position at a manufacturing facility in January of this year. I would like to think things are improving on the OHN front. Not sure how things look nationwide.

After reading some of these posts, I felt some of that anxiety creep back in. I worked on a busy PCU floor for over a year, and often felt overwhelmed and defeated at the end of the day. Even though the hours flew by and the weight melted off me, I felt like I rarely had a minute to catch up. Charting sometimes kept me a couple hours past the end of my shift. That was tough, especially after being physically wiped out, trying to focus on charting. The worst was knowing I would be returning the next day to the same chaos. There were even times on my days off, when I was called in to fix my charting. I certainly don't miss the floor, but have the utmost respect for those who stick it out day in and day out.

Thank you for the valuable feedback. I will be obtaining my hearing conservation certification in May. The spirometry cert will follow soon after. The COHN is definitely on my list, but I am still atleast a year out from being able to apply for that.
