  1. Need advise about denied vacation.....

    green34 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is why I am glad that my hospital was willing to work around my unit clerk schedule where I took vacation in the middle of the week so I worked Monday and Tuesday and then Friday, Saturday,...

  2. Stethoscopes!!!

    green34 replied to blondebabe0625's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I engraved mine through the company I ordered it from with my first and last name. Downside will be if I get married and change my last name. They had free engraving for Black Friday and I think they...

  3. How Popular is OU?

    green34 replied to green34's topic in Ohio University

    That's good. I live in the state and they advertise heavily at my school. I took a few classes geared towards knocking out some of the fluff classes at my college. Who else would take dance history?...

  4. How Popular is OU?

    green34 posted a topic in Ohio University

    I am surprised to see how many people are talking about this. Is there a lot of competition to get in? Were people wait listed for their RN to

  5. Waiting List...

    green34 replied to AM326's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I take it is one of those programs where you apply and then they accept only for that semester with the waitlist being the possibility of getting in that semester? I know we have a lot of people who...

  6. Facebook: Should I Just Give in and Join?

    green34 replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Students

    In nursing school, no. In my fire class, yes. We arranged study groups with it. I would at least make a Facebook page but don't use it. Put up a picture and leave it at

  7. Having a baby summer before last semester??

    green34 replied to JLB1215's topic in General Students

    We had a family who had 1 child before the start of clinicals and 1 this June (they are set to graduate in 2014). They had a great clinical instructor who worked with them (and freaked out almost the...

  8. School appealing loss of NLN accreditation - start over or take a chance?

    green34 replied to leekaye's topic in General Students

    My school lost their accrediation but were still accrediated by the state boards. Initially, the media made a huge fuss over it. The hospitals still hired most of the nurses. The larger universities...

  9. Entering my last semester of nursing school

    green34 replied to green34's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, honestly sometimes it feels like I get to do more at my work than in clinicals on a consistent basis since I work in an ER than in some of the clinicals. It's not that my instructors don't try,...

  10. How aggressive is too aggressive?

    green34 replied to stewartfamily2010's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would consider calling after a week, but it is tough to get into hospitals especially if it is the only local hospital. I have it lucky because we have over 5 hospitals in my area. We have a weird...

  11. Stethoscopes!!!

    green34 replied to blondebabe0625's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Electronic is too expensive for my purposes. I only know one nurse in the ER with it and her friend's mom gave it to her for free because some sort of rep gave it to her. I either know the people...

  12. What brand of scrubs do you prefer?

    green34 replied to kstrac13's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I like Jockey, they have a cargo pocket I can fit my stethoscope and flushes in. I also like Cherokee workwear for the pocket they have. I am trying Aviator Scrub and awaiting my order. I don't think...

  13. Brand of graduated compression stockings?

    green34 replied to SNB1014's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've thought about doing this. I hope more people

  14. ADN students...how quickly will you enroll for BSN?

    green34 replied to Katie71275's topic in General Students

    Six months after I graduate from the

  15. Is nursing school supposed to be harder?

    green34 replied to Lucidity's topic in General Students

    It depends on your program and instructor. I have had one or two bad instructors where I literally had to decipher their tests (it was really bad). I was happy to get a C in that class. Then there are...

  16. Welch Allyn Harvey Elite vs. Littmann Classic II S.E.

    green34 replied to chewychipsahoy's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Get the chest piece engraved not the tubing. It is easy to purchase replacement tubing at a fraction of the cost. If someone were to steal a cardiology III (like 130 dollar value), it would cost them...

  17. New Job as Nurse Extern

    green34 replied to wbrown06's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Find out what color scrubs you need now so you can find them cheaper. Bring in stuff you need just in case you are a sitter and the patient wants nothing to do with you. A lot of the float pool nurse...

  18. Tuition Assistance (aka Contract?)

    green34 posted a topic in General Students

    Ok, so I am mixed about it. I am fine with my ADN and I think I may use some for my BSN. However, I've heard horror stories of nurses who view it as signing their lives away. Usually it's where your...

  19. Full length modest scrub skirts

    green34 replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Make sure you know your colors. Here, every nursing school is different. I wear black bottoms, three wear navy bottoms, and one is like bright blue that isn't royal so I'm not sure what color it is....

  20. What Watch?

    green34 replied to CyndleT319's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am a horrible person and I don't wear a watch. When I did, I wore a waterproof one that I can wash with soap and water when I wash my hands. The idea of something like that sitting there with all...

  21. RN Nursing School Orientation?

    green34 replied to Summergrace's topic in General Students

    We have one every semester. We had one that was a pre-nursing and one that was right before the first semester. I can't remember which ones did what but I'll try to separate them. It is a waste of...

  22. Don't you want to be an NP?

    green34 replied to AnAppleGirl's topic in General Students

    I don't want to be an NP in the near future either. It's a different setting than I want to get into. I would rather do nursing for nursing right now. Maybe down the line get into infection control...

  23. What was your GPA when you were accepted into the BSN program?

    green34 replied to supermom.of.3's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think like a 3.6 or

  24. So who do nurses marry or have as civil partners???

    green34 replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    - Cops are a big one. I know I've dated cops before I was a nursing student or people trying to become a cop. - Medical doctors in the ER seem to be a big one or they are married to nurses. I dated a...

  25. Help w/ different study methods for passing exams

    green34 replied to littlektgirl's topic in General Students

    Are you reading the book? In my school, it seems like a lot the questions stem from the book. Sometimes some professors seem to put more weight on the little obscure facts in the boxes. For my...
