   twilatwiddle replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

   Sorry if someone has asked this before, this is a very long thread! Has anyone ever "fought" to transfer a class with OU and won? I have a women's studies class I took at 100 level, and the course at their institution is a 1000 level- AND the cours...

   twilatwiddle replied to RNinCLE's topic in Ohio University

   I'm taking Chem 113 online now and having a great experience so far! I HATE chem but I've actually learned things- and don't feel like a complete moron like I did in high school when I took it. I don't dread logging on to see what is due, I really ...

3. How many hours a week do you spend on average for one class

   twilatwiddle replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

   I needed to see this. I am also a mellow type B kinda girl. I am miserable in the hospital setting.. As I suspected I would be. I've been thinking maybe I made a mistake starting a career change in nursing but I think I just need a change in scene...

7. Internal job transfer- how to not ruffle any feathers

   twilatwiddle replied to Mrokayrn's topic in Professionalism

   Do we work on the same floor? Getting overflow must be an ongoing issue with observation units. I started my first job on a newly opened obs floor in August and I should have known better to run.. But I didn't. I wanted experience. What I got was...
