  1. SCRUBS (Mailorder)

    applesxoranges replied to nurse2211's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Medisave for stethoscopes. Black Friday sales rock. Cheapest people for Littmans. Allheart is okay but they suck at shipping. I am not impressed with them because "in stock items"ended up back...

  2. Article about Joan Rivers doctor - many patients identified

    applesxoranges replied to Semolina's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I think it was a great publicity. After all, if stars are being worked on by him or her, then shouldn't you feel confident

  3. What color are your scrubs?

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

    I wear whatever colors I want but within a year we will go all navy. Sucks! Could be worse though. I think the teal will be for unit clerks and techs. I don't know what our paramedics will wear (black...

  4. Crowd funding: Yay or Nay?

    applesxoranges replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen someone from grade school who was basically a hypochrondriac who regularly fired or quit doctors and circled around to our area's many ERs. She would do crowd funding for her service dog...

  5. OU versus Kaplan

    applesxoranges posted a topic in Ohio University

    I would prefer to take Kaplan online because I can start quicker but OU is cheaper by about 100 dollars per credit hour (240 versus 340) but I will have to wait to start. Did you like

  6. NRSE 4600

    applesxoranges replied to penelopebloom's topic in Ohio University

    For those who have been through this project, is it allowed to put a implementation date like a year from now? There would be no way to effectively implement my project in a small time

  7. Life after 4510...

    applesxoranges replied to Guest321574's topic in Ohio University

    I think they are easier but some have more writing if that makes sense. I hated 4510 but the other ones are okay. I feel like I am having writer's block for 4530 but that's because it's one of the...

  8. Did you attend your RN-BSN graduation?

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

    Not sure. It'll depend on how I feel towards May. My program only holds one graduation along with smaller campuses and I now wish I had applied for a smaller campus. If I go to the main campus, it...

  9. BSN backfire at non-magnet hospitals, higher turnover (This is rich!)

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

    And it is cheaper. An ADN may want to use tuition reimbursement to get a BSN and a MSN. A BSN will have paid for their BSN through other means and now may only have the MSN to pay for. However some...

  10. Recently accepted, advice please!

    applesxoranges replied to LoveNeverDies's topic in Ohio University

    4520 was easy in my opinion but a lot of typing. I viewed 4510 harder and I took both of them at the same time. Also, you may need to factor in a writing class since they require a 300 or higher from...

  11. ASN vs Other Degrees? Help!

    applesxoranges replied to SKay226's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Look at your job market around you. I have had no problems getting a job with an ADN but other classmates have. However, the ADN may add unnecessary length of time to getting a degree. It usually is 3...

  12. Fasted programs to earn a BSN ?

    applesxoranges replied to kestrad3's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If everything goes well, I will have spent 9 months at Ohio University assuming I pass everything this semester. However, I doubled up on classes and I had other fluff classes completed at my...

  13. RN to BSN in MI? Y or N if plan to be stay @ home mom?

    applesxoranges replied to michiganRN1234's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There is a preference for BSNs and it will only grow due to a lot more people going back to school for nursing and more schools offering it. I would honestly consider a PRN job even if it is only one...

  14. Want to apply to OU, so confused

    applesxoranges replied to mitsugirly's topic in Ohio University

    Here's what I did: I applied in December the night of graduation. I was accepted in January. I could have started earlier but opted to wait till March. I took the 4510 and 4520 together. Then I did...

  15. Want to apply to OU, so confused

    applesxoranges replied to mitsugirly's topic in Ohio University

    My states was a three hour class but it was from a partner school so guaranteed to transfer

  16. 4520 starting 03/24/14

    applesxoranges replied to haunani's topic in Ohio University

    I didn't have the virtual patient when I did it back in March. I think they were beta testing it with one

  17. BS to MSN?

    applesxoranges replied to salernoa1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There are some MSN programs that will accept a BS in a different field. I think Frontier is

  18. Want to apply to OU, so confused

    applesxoranges replied to mitsugirly's topic in Ohio University

    I would get approval before taking the classes since you don't want to waste the money. All my credits transferred since it was a partner school but initially they messed up my nutrition since it was...

  19. Abusing ancillary staff

    applesxoranges posted a topic in Emergency

    So supposedly a week or two ago the paramedics, the only ancillary staff, were complaining I was abusing them because I asked them to vital patients. Since this was a week ago, I can't be certain...

  20. fall 2014 4520

    applesxoranges replied to after30years's topic in Ohio University

    I wish they would add virtual clients for the cultural assessment. I'm going out on a limb and interviewing my boyfriend's boss who is basically American now except he was born in England. He's lived...

  21. High School Senior Help

    applesxoranges replied to goldsoul14's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What is the difference between RN and BSN? RN is a license, BSN is a degree (bachelors of science in nursing). RN has several pathways such as diploma, associates, and bachelors to become one and BSN...

  22. Bsn or lpn-adn not your usual argument

    applesxoranges replied to BrenLanders's topic in General Students

    Research fully. Figure out the admissions process and look into any BSN programs that the ADN school is partnered with. See how long it would be to do a LPN-ADN then a RN-to-BSN

  23. Galen vs Excelsior?

    applesxoranges replied to olive11's topic in LPN to RN

    I don't know about Galen but I know Excelsior has some issues with licensure in some states such as

  24. Disabled seems to have some new meaning!

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

    A She "trains" them to do things except in the videos she posted I didn't really see any "amazing training." Sometimes the cats would "stay" and sometimes "come" but it seemed more based on what it...

  25. Medical Translators

    applesxoranges posted a topic in Emergency

    How does your hospital handle the need for translators versus what actually is done? It seems like in the ER, a lot of nurses will just use family members despite strict policies in the hospital not...
