   I attend Chamberlain College of Nursing in Columbus. It's pretty pricey but offers scholarships. They have a great reputation with Nationwide Children's Hospital when the student RNs come. The good thing about Chamberlain is that there isn't a waiti...

3. Columbus Children's Hospital Nicotint Testing?

   jdarling replied to HakunaMatata<3's topic in General Nursing

   I work for Nationwide Children's and they don't test for it. They only did a urinalysis for drugs. I think insurance is cheaper if you don't smoke. And then there are always other opportunities to keep your ins payments down. But Nationwide Children...

   My fiancé works with feet/orthotics and he says that Spira Classic leather shoes are great. He sells them to a lot of nurses. I just got them to start my classes and clinical with.

   Congrats! :) I working on starting an Graduate Entry program at OSU to take my BS in chemistry into a NNP in the next 6 years. I would be a NICU RN for two years as part of the program (if I choose the NICU path). Do you still like the NICU since you...
