    applesxoranges replied to carolina_mom's topic in General Students

    We had to get like a 97 percent predicted or we had to do virtual ati. I scored 99 predicted and was first to finish. I think the minimum was like 80 to pass. Virtual ati sounded like a pain. i didn't...

  2. So I just failed out of Nursing School, is there hope after?

    applesxoranges replied to Marvarapper's topic in General Students

    My program allowed RN students to transition into the Lpn program and then onto the Lpn to rn program with credit for the classes they took. So if you pass pharm for the rn program, you didn't have to...

    applesxoranges replied to Noble91's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Look at costs. My doing an ADN and the. Rn to bsn, I saved a ton of money. I also knocked out the BSN porton in about 8 months through careful research beforehand of what was required and what I...

  6. What is a PCT allowed to do on a PEDS unit?

    applesxoranges replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    It depends. I have been able to do straight cath ekgs, and straight stick for blood in the ER but other places they only let them straight stick if they were a phleb or at least an EMT-I. Also, in...

  7. Drop ADN program forBSN program?

    applesxoranges replied to orderly#1's topic in General Students

    I did my RN to BSN program in approximately 8 or 9 months. March 24 to December 7th. In all honesty, if you like your program and it is well-known in the area, then I would stick with the ADN. I saved...

  8. Why do you think nurses leave the profession?

    applesxoranges replied to Nacki's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There are many that were listed before. I think part of it is also we are seeing sicker and sicker patients with no reduction in the nurse patient ratio and instead it increases sometimes. In my ER we...

  9. What do you say to people thinking about nursing?

    applesxoranges replied to jeyre1847's topic in General Nursing

    I tell people that it is a tough field to get into and in many areas it is saturated. I also tell them that nursing school is strange. My sister is studying nursing now. It kind of drives me nuts when...

  10. Why are Nurses paid so low in the south ??

    applesxoranges replied to Michigann's topic in General Nursing

    Just south of the Michigan border, LPNs start out at 14-16 dollars on average. I couldn't believe how much the LPNs started out where I work now in Michigan. My coworker used to work at a nursing...

  11. NRSE 4600 ICProject

    applesxoranges replied to penelopebloom's topic in Ohio University

    I have a question for you guys. How did you manage to have a conclusion that was 3-4 paragraphs long but still managed to keep the paper only 5 pages long? If they let the main body of the paper be...

  12. Indirect Clinical

    applesxoranges posted a topic in Ohio University

    This indirect clinical really sounds like they want us to implement it at the work place. I know mine is a larger product than what actually can be done in five weeks but I don't care because it is a...

  13. Indirect Clinical

    applesxoranges replied to applesxoranges's topic in Ohio University

    I can't wait till I am done. I am adding my TA to ratemyprofessors. She is the worst TA I have had so far in terms of nitpicking on the grading. Literally. In fact, the first time I provide any...

  14. Indirect Clinical

    applesxoranges replied to applesxoranges's topic in Ohio University

    It's the final class. I know my TA told me to make sure that I could implement it in five weeks and so I have a really quick plan to "implement"

  15. What would you change about your scrubs??

    applesxoranges replied to jessk2323's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Aviators have a male figure almost to them with a ton of pockets. We're going color coded so I would guess the color coded system. It's nice sometimes but it only benefits the staff. Patients cannot...

  16. If you could wear any scrub?

    applesxoranges replied to SC APRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I like pairing black Jockey pants with a different color scrub

  17. I hate scrubs. Any have elastic?

    applesxoranges replied to SoaringOwl's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Jockey is smooth and the black pants look professional almost except for the cargo

  18. Where to wear ID badge

    applesxoranges replied to poopylala's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    We have it on our shirt collars. I tell people they need to take off their ID badge with a violent patient so they won't choke us with it since it's not break away. In all honesty, those type of ID...

    applesxoranges replied to working bee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would consider moving. In other areas, it is easy for an associate nurse to get a job. I had two within my first

  20. IV catheter changes..

    applesxoranges replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in General Nursing

    Is it every 96 hours or is it 72? I know one is the tubing. I don't really care as I am in the ER and we almost never have people come in with sites. The exception is some woman who was in bad shape...

  21. Do you know first aid, or even have supplies?

    applesxoranges replied to brownbook's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I used to have a jump bag back when I was a volunteer firefighter that I won from a convention but everything is probably expired and old in it now. In all honesty, I wouldn't treat people with my own...

  22. Active Duty Military Member Seeking Career Guidance

    applesxoranges replied to coast2coast10's topic in School, College Programs

    Well, my advice is to look at 2-3 schools in the general location that you want to work and take a peek at their requirements for a BSN or ADN program. Ideally, I would pick 3 BSN programs and 2 ADN...

  23. NURS 4510 Fall 14

    applesxoranges replied to Peah4714's topic in Ohio University

    That's weird. I took the class back in March 2014 along with the physical assessment. Other people have told me on here that I needed to complete it first by itself but when I took it back then, it...

  24. Henry Ford Hospital?

    applesxoranges replied to AQEELSMOM's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think Henry Ford RN to BSN is through the college and I don't know if they are related besides the history of the Henry Ford company anymore. Things have changed as I was able to get licensed in...

  25. Best most comfy and durable scrub pants

    applesxoranges replied to dannygirl04's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Jockey is the best in my opinion. Although my black pants feel like they are wearing out quicker than my Jockeys that I purchased in 2013ish. Not sure if they changed the material or if it is just...
