1. OSU Nursing Program

   guest707142 replied to nursing33's topic in School Programs

   Hi there - for OSU, literally only your prerequisites and essays matter. I don't think they even take into consideration your current school. They decide who gets in based on an algorithm: your prerequisite GPA + your essays get graded on a scale of ...

2. Thank you gifts for clinical floor

   guest707142 posted a topic in General Students

   It's approaching the end of the semester, and at my school we typically get together and put in for a gift for the nurses on our clinical floor as a way to show appreciation for their willingness to have us. I'm just looking for ideas of what you guy...

3. learning for your own benefit

   guest707142 replied to guest707142's topic in General Nursing

   I get what you're saying! But I've never done it to the extent that it would hurt my studies. Sometimes I feel that my program glossed over pharmacology and we didn't really learn much - now in my classes my professors get mad when on exams we all pe...

4. CNA in nursing school, got two job offers. ICU or med/surg?

   guest707142 replied to michigan94's topic in General Nursing

   A couple of months ago I was in this same position - I was offered a CNA/PCA/whatever position on days on a neuro step down unit, and a position at another hospital on a pediatric neuro unit on nights. I ultimately chose the nighttime position becaus...

5. learning for your own benefit

   guest707142 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hey! I just wanted to start off by saying, I discovered this website way back when I was a junior in high school and only considering going into the nursing field. Even after I made an account (in 2013 I think?) I still do more lurking around than an...

6. Is this a big deal?

   guest707142 replied to wailingtrees's topic in CNA/MA

   I work as a night shift PCA at a pediatric hospital - lots of diaper changes. Overnight, I will go into the room and do a quick check of their diaper or Pull-Up about every 2 hours and if they're dry, I leave them alone. I prefer to let my kiddos sle...

7. Things I Am Grateful For (Vol. 1)

   guest707142 replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in General Nursing

   I'm thankful for: 1) My boyfriend, who loves me unconditionally even when I'm being a hormonal brat. 2) My family, who supports me in everything I do - even from 700+ miles away. 3) My sorority sisters, who have made an strange city in an unfamiliar ...

8. What is your dream unit?

   guest707142 replied to guest769224's topic in General Nursing

   I currently work as a PCA on an pediatric inpatient neuro unit and am loving it! We get ENT kiddos also - I'm not into that so much. Other than that: NICU, I've also floated to the CTICU a couple times and very much enjoyed it (which coincidentally h...

9. (8/29) This week, I have learned......

   guest707142 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

   This week, I've learned: Apparently people think its okay to tell their children they can stop taking their meds post-heart transplant. There is a definite personality difference between people who work days and nights (at least on my unit). I have c...

10. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    guest707142 replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen the words "psychopath" and "sociopath" thrown around a few times in these comments, and for those of you who are doing so, I highly encourage that you do some research into what these terms mean - not that I'm trying to patronize, but its...

11. Online application redundancy?

    guest707142 replied to guest707142's topic in Career Support

    Thanks for the feedback - I recently created an online "profile" to apply for a couple jobs at the local Children's hospital and went through all the tediousness of filling it all out in addition to the resume! It was actually kind of neat because yo...

12. Online application redundancy?

    guest707142 posted a topic in Career Support

    My question for you guys is: when submitting a job application online, most companies will give you the opportunity to upload a copy of your resume. If you choose to do this, is it necessary to fill out all of the previous employment/education/etc. s...

13. Just curious..what color is your stethoscope?

    guest707142 replied to Bubbly26's topic in General Students

    Littmann Classic II in peach! I would go cheaper but my university requires us to have this specific one for clinicals

14. Great tips for studying... review syllabus first!!

    guest707142 replied to isa_salud's topic in General Students

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that actually enjoys reading through all my syllabi - there's nothing quite as satisfying as writing a semester's worth of assignments, exams, etc. into my planner!

15. Is it me? Or is it everybody else?

    guest707142 replied to remotefuse's topic in General Students

    I might suggest to confront the obnoxious ones in your clinical group, but those are always the types of people that you can't get through to, aren't they Anyways, think of how ahead of the game you'll be when you're, say, taking the NCLEX and the o...
