  1. 4580 starting Fall, first 5 weeks....

    RNinCLE replied to momofseven's topic in Ohio University

    1. Use the info from your assigned readings to review the mission, vision, values and stated goals of the organization where you are employed. 2. Is there a nursing mission or philosophy in your...

  2. 4580 starting Fall, first 5 weeks....

    RNinCLE replied to momofseven's topic in Ohio University

    I'm in 4580 and PRCM 3250J. Ugh. So not ready to start up

  3. PRCM 3250J starting 8/26..anyone in?

    RNinCLE replied to SamRNmedic's topic in Ohio University

    I'm in, and not looking forward to it. Did you look at the book we're supposed to order? Do we need both the textbook and whatever that "bundle" is listed under

  4. Statistics

    RNinCLE replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took an online statistics course, and I did fine. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you're pretty good at math and can handle learning independently you'll be ok. The course I took had a...

  5. Score one for standardized scrub colors

    RNinCLE replied to MN-Nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My facility has color-coded scrubs, and I have had multiple patients/family members tell me they appreciate it. With all the stress of a hospitalization and all of the people coming in and out of the...

  6. This is a discussion on Ohio University RN to BSN - NRSE 4550 -Evidence based practic

    RNinCLE replied to Frills's topic in Ohio University

    The instructor posts a study guide each week that's supposed to be used to study for that week's

  7. This is a discussion on Ohio University RN to BSN - NRSE 4550 -Evidence based practic

    RNinCLE replied to Frills's topic in Ohio University

    I did sooo badly on quiz 2. Ugh. I'm down to an 82%, and am hoping my DB posts bring me up a bit. Will need to do better this

  8. Cleveland Clinic hiring process/timeline

    RNinCLE replied to campercass's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Well, I think you can find similar feelings about just about any hospital system. It's all in who you ask, and where they work within the system. I've worked for CCF for over 3 years, and have no...

  9. Cleveland Clinic hiring process/timeline

    RNinCLE replied to campercass's topic in Ohio Nursing

    To MDG0407 - No, they will no longer hire before you pass your nclex. I have friends that were hired as PCNAs right around graduation, with the intent of remaining on those units as RNs once they...

  10. Wasting

    RNinCLE replied to DeeDee_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with HouTx. Go back to your clinical instructor and address the issue. I'd also let them know your preceptor said it was no big deal. Not to get that person in trouble, but perhaps that...

  11. Phone, cell, beeper and texting.

    RNinCLE replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

    In my previous posts, I talked about text-paging docs. But that's also from within a huge medical system where I am text paging from a computer, using an internal tool designed for this specific...

  12. What would you do?

    RNinCLE replied to WldChrry's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would request that the percocet order be changed to oxy. You caught the issue, but perhaps another nurse wouldn't and the pt would get too much tylenol. It's a patient safety issue. As for the...

  13. Phone, cell, beeper and texting.

    RNinCLE replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

    Our texting is also done through an online system. If they deny getting a page, they can all easily be traced - and yes, we've had to do it. It is also our policy that docs are required to respond to...

  14. Phone, cell, beeper and texting.

    RNinCLE replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

    We are able to text page a doctor, but it still goes to their work pager, not their cellphone. They do not have a way to text us back. So they can either go into the computer and enter an order for us...

  15. blowing veins during IV starts

    RNinCLE replied to queenjulie's topic in General Nursing

    iluvivt has given some excellent advice here! I also was wondering if perhaps the angle you were going in was too high based on your description. But without seeing you, it's so hard to offer advice....

  16. Co-signature for Insulin administration

    RNinCLE replied to MissRN7's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    As others have said, our glucometers transmit the BG into the patient's chart, so there is no question it was actually done. We dual-sign insulin, but I work on a pediatric floor. The adult floors do...

  17. This is a discussion on Ohio University RN to BSN - NRSE 4550 -Evidence based practic

    RNinCLE replied to Frills's topic in Ohio University

    I'm in! Kind of dreading it too - I'm worried about how much time this one is going to take

  18. Less men in pediatric nursing?

    RNinCLE replied to marinelayer's topic in Pediatric

    There are definitely fewer men in peds, but they are out there! I've worked with some really excellent male nurses in pediatrics. And the previous poster is right - the younger boys really appreciate...

  19. New Grad Advice in Peds?!

    RNinCLE replied to rehric00's topic in Pediatric

    I'm confused... what do you mean by "the peds nurse" on nights? Who else will be there with you? How large of a unit is this? And congratulations on

  20. NRSE 4600

    RNinCLE replied to eabroussardrn's topic in Ohio University

    Wait - there are clinicals with this program?? I just started this semester, and one huge selling point was the fact that there were no clinicals. If this is true, I may need to rethink this program....

  21. Role Call, NRSE 4510 Spring 1

    RNinCLE replied to RNinLCF's topic in Ohio University

    I am also in NRSE 4510 - just submitted my paper for this week. I cannot believe how long these papers take me to write! I don't recall writing papers being this difficult when I was in school years...
