  1. Teaching a 10 Minute Assessment

    HeartNursing3 posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I teach at a large University in the College of Nursing. As I only have my BSN, I am only allowed to be a teaching assistant, which means I work at the direction of the faculty member. I primarily...

    HeartNursing3 replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Does everything have to be proven as credible through a peer reviewed resource in a discussion? I understand a paper... But I am not even allowed to share my own experiences unless someone else had...

  3. GRE or MAT?

    HeartNursing3 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am planning to apply to Case Western's post-master's DNP program. They just required satisfactory scores on the MAT or GRE. How do you decide what to take? I think I'm going to do horrible on either...

  4. Path to DNP/PhD/EdD

    HeartNursing3 replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    So it is like a post-masters certificate? Or a "minor" as part of a MSN

  5. Planning to attend Hondros College OH

    HeartNursing3 replied to afrostud4u's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It doesn't change the fact that Hondros does NOT have regional accreditation and their LPN and ADN programs are NOT nationally accredited for nursing. Only their BSN program is CCNE accredited. Most...

  7. No more glucose checks by CNAs/PCTs

    HeartNursing3 replied to Paws2people's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If the PCA uses the wrong size BP cuff, the result is going to be wrong. The nurse might pick up on it if the result is too low or too high but if the BP is actually high or low and the wrong cuff...

  9. Where do NPs look for jobs?

    HeartNursing3 replied to HeartNursing3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think they have a website, but not the type of website people actually go to. They're looking for one website for now -- essentially the one that'll gave them the most bang for their buck

  11. Questions about getting into cscc nursing program.

    HeartNursing3 replied to Betty 1's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I would recommend getting a job as a PCA/PSA in a hospital throughout the program. It is difficult to get a job as an associate degree nurse in Columbus. The market is over saturated to begin with...

  12. No more glucose checks by CNAs/PCTs

    HeartNursing3 replied to Paws2people's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    But the glucometer automatically uploads to the patient chart so it's not like the PCA can chart it wrong or tell the nurse wrong.... it's glucometer to chart. I don't see how this creates an issue?...

  16. Deciding how much solution to dilute a medication in

    HeartNursing3 replied to Student100's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You SHOULD have parameters if it says give 12.5mg-25mg of a medication. It should say to give 12.5mg for pain 5-7 and 25mg for pain 8-10, for example. If not, ask for them. If you make the call...

  18. New Grad BSN..looking for job in Columbus...There's Hope.

    HeartNursing3 replied to DelleRN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Those monthly new grad classes you had to attend - that is residency. That's it. Just monthly classes for 4 hours that are a giant waste of your time. I don't do anything different than any other...

  19. New Grad BSN..looking for job in Columbus...There's Hope.

    HeartNursing3 replied to DelleRN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    No, not everyone goes through residency. But all new grads do. I was hired as a new grad outside of the residency and 2 months before the next residency was due to start. They still had to plug me...

  23. FORTIS college columbus ohio?

    HeartNursing3 replied to studentstudent's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Two years ago is not now. Two years ago the BSN only thing hadn't been started by Magnet. As someone who has worked at OhioHealth and OSU and having friends who work in HR - things have changed...
