  1. OSU Wexner Staff RN or RN-PCC?

    WoundedBird replied to QuietRiot83's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Not sure how helpful this will be, but the PCC stands for patient care coordinator. Not sure what the difference between RN and RN-PCC is though. I remember my preceptor over at OSU East having...

  2. Med Couture... shrinkage?

    WoundedBird replied to bex177's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Currently, I air dry my scrubs because even low on our apartment supplied dryer is really hot. I might try machine drying when we move in a few months and I get my good dryer

  3. Looking for a long lasting watch

    WoundedBird replied to frenchxtoast's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a Citizen Eco-Drive - it uses natural light to charge the battery so you don't have to worry about it dying, especially mid-shift. This is the one that I bought as a birthday present:...

  4. Otoscopes

    WoundedBird replied to my3suns's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Our program requires it for FNP, PNP, and maybe adult primary. We have a great supplier that will be on campus next week with them and perks for buying them in person (on top of the $100 less they are...

  5. Books

    WoundedBird replied to klhmom's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I got a great deal directly from the publisher (30% off & free shipping) for a book that's all of 2 weeks old because it wasn't available in time through Amazon or the school bookstore for the...

  6. Ohio Health and OSU

    WoundedBird replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Can you elaborate on how OSUs Grad Entry students are 'scary' - is it unsafe scary or mean teacher scary? Maybe the current cohorts (one is finishing pre-licensure and the other has just begun...

  7. Elective courses

    WoundedBird replied to NurseMo17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took medical terminology and a phlebotomy course as extra courses outside of pre-reqs. Both have been incredibly helpful as I'm in an accelerated

  8. Lessons Learned During Our First Semester Of Clinicals

    WoundedBird replied to ElizabethStoneRN's topic in General Students

    I believe in #16 and #19. #16 is why I'm focusing on the pediatric patient population (hopefully) and #19 because any of my classmates can come and ask me, "is 1+1 still 2?" because some days you need...

  9. Ohio Health and OSU

    WoundedBird replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Check campusparc.com for OSU parking prices. Anything with a garage option is going to be expensive and the cheapest option is WCX (Buckeye lot) where you hop on the bus and it takes you the

  10. Undergrad books used in grad school?

    WoundedBird replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    For me, having the undergrad version of my Pathophys book was helpful for topics I struggled with. I also got lucky and had the same authors (Huether and McCance) for both books. Lots of overlap, but...

  11. Case study: emergent penis ring removal

    WoundedBird replied to thelema13's topic in Emergency

    This is bringing me back to a conversation I had with the guys that run a well respected piercing shop about having in-services for nurses and docs to learn how to remove body jewelry appropriately....

  12. Postpartum Hemorrhage tool kit

    WoundedBird replied to l/dmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just began my OB rotation and during our floor orientation the PPH cart was pointed out to us. It was just that - a cart in the hallway. We haven't delved into post partum yet, but once I learn...

  13. Help with registering for nursing licensure in Colorado from Oklahoma!

    WoundedBird replied to x28y31's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I would call DORA directly. There is contact info on their site - not sure exactly where for nursing, but remember getting it for another health profession. This way you are getting your info directly...

  14. Examples of ethical dilemmas in pediatric nursing?

    WoundedBird replied to jen0415's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I had similar assignments earlier this semester and was allowed to use ethical dilemmas I was faced with outside of nursing and just had to connect it back either from the way I handled the situation...

  15. Nursing School Uniforms And Their Fate After School

    WoundedBird replied to RunBabyRN's topic in General Students

    I'm shadow boxing one of my tops and other mementos I gather over the course of my program. All bottoms and the remaining tops will be given to the outreach resell

  16. First Clinicals; what to bring?!

    WoundedBird replied to adnstudent44's topic in General Students

    A sharpie to date your dressing changes right on the

  17. Stupid Nurse Tricks (Or How To Look Incredibly Stupid)

    WoundedBird replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Doinking a baby's head in the upper crib rails as you're lifting them up to calm them down. While mom is standing next to you. What made me feel less bad about this - finding out one of my classmates...

  18. BSN Textbooks for NP school?

    WoundedBird replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Our program uses the grad school version of the patho book. Same author, pictures, and 800/1200 pages. I actually went back to the undergrad version quite a few times last semester bc the grad book...

  19. Questions on grad school application

    WoundedBird replied to chartreuse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think I had a similar question on my application and used it to explain a drop off in my grades due to mono and not withdrawing for the semester and the effect it had on subsequent courses that...

  20. Ipad for notetaking?

    WoundedBird replied to TheNoviceNurse16's topic in General Students

    I use Moxtra (free app too!) because it allows me to write directly on PPT slides if I only need to hot one or two things down or highlight an important

  21. Where do you all get textbooks from

    WoundedBird replied to maj0079's topic in General Students

    Another vote for Amazon. I usually end up ordering from one of the resellers for additional savings with the same, if not speedier shipping. I'm renting one book this semester for a class that we will...

  22. Best Apple apps

    WoundedBird replied to nursefin's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Micromedix is another good free medication app. I use it more than Taber's that came with our schools Ucentral bundle, especially when a medication doesn't 'exist' in

  23. Good Nursing Shoes

    WoundedBird replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  24. Should I take medical terminology (not req'd)?

    WoundedBird replied to anichka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say go for it. I took it as a way to help bump up my GPA a bit and I've found it helpful for trying to answer test questions that ask what a term means and it's one I didn't study too much. Had to...

  25. Question about albumin level and nutrition

    WoundedBird replied to Lex_pedsRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What's their pre-albumin level? Since PA is unaffected by hydration status and your pt is on a clear liquid diet, this might give you a more accurate picture of their nutritional
