  1. Starting Lorain County Community College RN - Fall 2012

    ladylysis posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    Anyone else out there starting LCCC's RN program this fall? My orientation is May 7th, and I'm starting to get a little

  2. Should I stay or should I go?

    ladylysis replied to Nurse ABC's topic in General Nursing

    I like the idea of keeping some variety there, as well as a potential option for the future. Besides - it gives you joy, yes? What a nice respite and change of perspective to have after those...

  3. Anyone seen any all-white shoes?

    ladylysis replied to tenjuna's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Also, if you find some that are close - like New Balance, but they have grey stitching around the logo, for instance - use white shoe polish to rectify that problem. This expands your options quite a...

  4. Anyone seen any all-white shoes?

    ladylysis replied to tenjuna's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Have you looked at Zappos? I've been able to find 4e shoes for my husband there. They have several pairs available that should work for you, and return shipping is free if they don't work out. I'm...

  5. First year in college! Need advice please!

    ladylysis replied to HisTiming's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should be working on getting your prerequisites out of the way. What classes have to be done before applying to the program? If you haven't picked a program yet, start scouting them: it's the only...

    ladylysis replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I already have a stethoscope, so that's not an issue for me. As a respiratory therapist, I love my Littman Cardiology III. A Littman Select is good, though, and will not run more than ~40

    ladylysis replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Ordered my required texts for 114 on Amazon. Would have been around $225 at the bookstore for new books; I spent $135 not including the syllabus for new or like new. 115 looks rough; around

  8. Starting Lorain County Community College RN - Fall 2012

    ladylysis replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Seeing everyone's costs, I'm suddenly less unhappy about having to do the program part-time: I get to space that out a bit! Since I'm not doing clinicals this semester, I'll hold off on iTouch/iPad...

  9. Do new graduates really get a job that easily in nursing?

    ladylysis replied to Bchung5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ladylysis replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Book lists are up. Has anyone priced things out? For 114 (my only class) it looks like about

  11. Starting Lorain County Community College RN - Fall 2012

    ladylysis replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I see my schedule posted! Since I'm part time, I'm enrolled just in NURS 114. Lecture and lab both on Monday

  12. Starting Lorain County Community College RN - Fall 2012

    ladylysis replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    If anything, I am *under*whelmed. I will have to pursue the part-time option and was really hoping I could manage it full time. The students at the end did a great job of scaring the crap out of me,...

    It was at a different school

  14. Starting Lorain County Community College RN - Fall 2012

    ladylysis replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I am strong in math, but learned my lesson when I tried Applied Algebra online. It was awful! I got a great prof for my classroom-based Stats class, and that made all the difference. Unless you are a...

  15. how do you feel about group projects?

    ladylysis replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    As observed by so many others, group projects kinda suck. Not just for the inevitable person who doesn't want to do anything - we should anticipate that and just pick up their slack. Also, a...

  16. C=degree

    ladylysis replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    Exactly, snickers! I'm not competitive with other students, per se, but I'm not happy unless I get an A - because I know that I'm capable of it. Type A, though? Hardly. Just a

  17. Starting Lorain County Community College RN - Fall 2012

    ladylysis replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    In most program you can request certain clinical sites, but there are no guarantees that you will get a spot at that site. It's also not possible - or desirable, really - to do all clinicals at a...

  18. Starting Lorain County Community College RN - Fall 2012

    ladylysis replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Tri-C's nursing program is also well-respected. I chose LCCC for a number of reasons - I'm a west-sider, and their clinical sites are more convenient for me. They were also much nicer to me about...

    ladylysis replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    snickers21: I know what you mean! I already have my BLS but want to get my books, ID, etc already. :) Since I'm already in a patient care environment, all my shots are up to date. Even two - no,...

    Yes, it is. Look under Cuyahoga Community

  21. Starting Lorain County Community College RN - Fall 2012

    ladylysis replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I applied in Jan 2011. I had all my non-RN classes done by May

  22. Any jobs at hospitals that don't require a certificate/degree??

    ladylysis replied to pookiecupcake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look at positions for PCNA (patient care nursing

  23. Nursing tech vs. waitress?

    ladylysis replied to Stephsky419's topic in Ohio Nursing

    There are MANY advantages to doing the PCA route! I work in the medical ICU of a very large hospital, and can tell you first-hand that PCAs get priority hiring consideration over almost any other...

  24. Lorain County Community College waiting list - anyone else?

    ladylysis replied to wantccu's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'll be starting this fall, too. Getting kind of nervous about juggling work and such.
