I don’t know that a smaller trach would be a requirement for a psg to determine decannulation. I’ve often seen an inpatient capped sleep study. The ENT should also be able to determine the potential for decannulation based on those psg results. Much ...

Is anyone taking Chemistry at Clovis this semester with me? I remember reading about a number of people considering it, so wanted to see if any of us are in it together.

Course Catalog Download the full course catalog and look up that specific course. That's the description I used for my transfer credit form.

I think most people mean to take 4510 alone, with no other nursing courses. It may be ok with a non-nursing course that isn't overly heavy on workload. As far as what you can take together, it really just depends on you. If you are motivated enough ...

Yes, you want to start with 4510. After that, you can take them in whatever order you'd like, except to keep 4600 to your last semester. Some people take multiple nursing courses at one time. Others find it too overwhelming. For me, I preferred to ta...

I've never taken the exam but I'm curious why you want to. Most hospitals will hire you without it since you've completed your first two semesters of nursing school. Seems like a lot of money for something you may not need. Where would you like to wo...

I know nothing about that school but wanted to say I took an online chemistry class through Clovis Community College that was accepted at Ohio University for my chem requirement. I would highly recommend them if the credit is accepted.

I worked full-time through my entire program - and had 2 small kids at home - but had a very supportive manager and a very supportive husband. I started out working 3-11, 5 days per week for the first year. The 2nd year, that was not possible, so swi...

I work at the Clinic, and have been in the same department in three different job capacities over the last 4 1/2 years. I am currently working as an RN on nights, and am very happy here. This place is so huge though - I really think it depends on whe...

It's not that I mind the class, or that it's particularly hard. I am just irritated that I am required to pay OU several hundred dollars to take a course I have already taken in my ADN. The same goes for Health Assessment. What registered nurse did n...

I have to say I really don't get why I need to take this class when I also had it in my ADN. I'm so tired of guessing what they want in these papers, though I'll admit I'm loving my TA so far.

I've worked with several male nurses in peds, and they've all been great. Most of them are in PICU, but some on the regular floors as well. We also have male PCNAs, and the kids adore them. They're certainly a minority in peds, but I think add a lot ...

Honestly, the best thing you can do is to sit down and work out a detailed budget. Make sure you can live off of the lower pay. You're correct that it's a great way to get your foot in the door - many hospitals will hire from within first, so it woul...

So you've figured out that you are infusing 9ml, and your orders state to infuse over 20 minutes. Your pump needs to be programmed ml per hour. So 9 ml over 20 minutes is how many ml over 60 minutes?

Yay!! Glad to hear you did well! Feels good to cross this one off the list.

The exam is exactly the same as the others. Just log into the web site, and when you select the final exam, there is a password required that your proctor will have. It's 100 questions, and you'll get your grade as soon as you submit. For me, I knew...

Just got back from taking my final. Such a weight lifted off of my shoulders! :) I still have to finish the last lab and take that post-test. I'm still so very glad I took this course for my Chemistry requirement. Cincinursemary - how are you doing ...

You have to apply to Clovis first. They have an online application form on their web site. Just google them and you'll find it. The course is CHEM 113.

True. But I don't have to do the HESI exams, and I think there may even be a few other assignments I don't need to do. Either way, it's a bunch of work.

I'm in! And apparently I'm part of this new project using an online simulated client. Should be interesting.

I so wish I was in this with you - alas, I'm not that lucky. Starting it in June, though. :) Good luck!!

It's definitely becoming more challenging, but it's still quite doable. My biggest issue is that I've worked ahead a bit in order to get most of this done before 4520 starts next week. But he told me the earliest I can take the final is April 22. Wh...

So far it's been going well. I like the amount of information he goes over each week - not overwhelming at all. None of it is new material so far - so it's just like taking a refresher course from high school. I'm hoping it stays that way. And I'm wi...

That should say proctored exams. Guess I should check for autocorrect next time.

In looking at their site, only coursework is online. You still go in for labs, clinicals, and pro tired exams. I had to take student loans out for my program. Which is also partly why I chose a well-respected program at a local community college that...
