  1. Did I Pass?

    Roman1 replied to OCNRN63's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    According to my crystal ball since this was your 8th time taking the NCLEX, it doesn't look like you passed. Sorry, you just did not have enough SATA and only had 75 questions. Maybe the 9th time is...

  2. Passed NCLEX, got licensed...now what?

    Roman1 replied to FLboundBSN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    For Ohio RN's renew their license in the odd years, and LPN's are even years. Because the OP was first licensed in an even year, is the reason for it expiring next August. After he/she renews next...

  3. Passed NCLEX, got licensed...now what?

    Roman1 replied to FLboundBSN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In Ohio you do not need CEU's for your first renewal. Take sometime to look through the Ohio BON website it will have all the answers about your license, renewal, obtaining CEU's etc. Best of luck in...

  4. Iv medication question

    Roman1 replied to J3wl5's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know people want to be helpful and everything, but how is providing the calculations and answer helping the OP out. The OP needs to learn how to think these calculations out on his/her own in class...

    Roman1 replied to Lvuv's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  7. Is This Bullying?

    Roman1 replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You COBs don't know better, because you chart lies about jello and don't admit to it. It's more honest to just say you lying about charting that you turn your jello q2hrs, and release it from...

  8. Is This Bullying?

    Roman1 replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok you unprofessional crusty old "gasbag" bats. You are all bullies! How dare you have me finish charting, so I can't have my jello lunch! Your only doing it because you are crusty and hoarding all of...

  9. intentional or falls

    Roman1 replied to Lvuv's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  11. Persistent Falsification of Data

    Roman1 replied to lpncharlie's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    First of all Glucometers DO NOT always save previous results. I find on average they only save the last 2-3 results. Even with the downloadable accucheck machines, they do not always download the...

    Roman1 replied to Cynthia M's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You must hold a LICENSE to be called a nurs (LPN/LVN, RN, NP etc) It is illegal to call yourself or let patients think you are a nurse (not correcting them). If you are a CNA you can refer to yourself...

    Roman1 replied to mrswatson36's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Roman1 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

  16. Article: Patient Satisfaction Survey Study Halted; Mortality Increased 238% with Pati

    Roman1 replied to Cindy_A's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Gomerblog is hilarious. Please remember it is satire. I think the comments people leave are even funnier than the article sometimes (because people do not know what a satire is). Nurse has License...

    Roman1 replied to bear94's topic in General Students

    I took one of the hot pink colored restricted extremity arm bands, put my name one the one side and taped it around my stethoscope. It was always left hanging by the nurse server if I forgot it!

  19. CSU vs. Akron vs. Ursuline vs. Kent

    Roman1 replied to yochana8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe all of these schools have very good ABSN programs. I personally can only speak for Ursuline's (that's where I graduated from) 1) classes are small, I would say approx 20-25. The instructors...

    Roman1 replied to Penelope512's topic in Research

    Your wording doesn't make sense. I would word it like this Does performing a Time Out in the OR reduce the incidents of wrong patient/site/procedures in surgical cases. Hope this
