    Think twice before getting into more debt to avoid debt. Try contacting the mortgage companies to get the payments modified until you can increase your income, also let your son know he's going to have to get a new roommate, he should at least be co...
  2. African American Hair Problems in Nursing

    As much as you want this first job, you gotta be you. For my first nursing job interview, I wore my hijab (Muslim headscarf) got the job! I've also worn my hair braided (no hijab on) and gotten nursing jobs. I've never had relaxed hair as a nurse. ...
  3. I'm also from NE Ohio, worked at the Clinic and was 45 minutes away on the highway. I had both an AWD and a FWD vehicle, but not an SUV or truck, never got stuck. Winter weather tires helped. Keep a change of clothes in the car, and the regular wint...
  4. Ohio Health and OSU

    According to the union contract from which I copied and pasted- "A nurse assigned to the second or third shifts shall receive a shift differential of five dollars ($5.00) per hour in addition to the nurse’s regular rate of pay."
  5. Ohio Health and OSU

    Thanks WoundedBird for the info. OSU salaries rates for Staff Nurses are based on the union contract, which I was able to find online. I was trying to compare that to the other 2 systems. I'm not a new grad, but new grads at OSU look like they st...
  6. Ohio Health and OSU

    I was able to find OSU salaries in the union contract online. Is it true their nurses have the highest salaries? Does anyone know the shift differentials at Ohio Health or Mt Carmel? Does anyone know how much parking is for employees at OSU? Th...

    Sorry, did not take either during my time at ULL. If you are required to take them shop around and check out your local community colleges, prereqs don't have to be taken through ULL
  8. Management sharing too much information?

    Unfortunately, you also told two other people. If one of them also told someone else, the information was repeated. Regardless of what these two individuals may be saying to you, unless you've known them for years and they've kept secrets for you bef...

    Jocelynwiley, What 2 classes are you taking next? By the time you take the capstone you won't find it extremely difficult at all. More info to come on the capstone once I receive my diploma in hand

    Just too toot my own horn---I'm finished and now I'm a BSN!!!! I started last July 2013, and now I'm done, stick a fork in it, complete, finish. To my fellow students, you can do this. I did it, and worked full-time nights (3-12s) and dealt with fami...

    Danij100, I also attended OU's program before attending ULL. OU was not a good fit for me. The papers were just overwhelming for me. I like ULL because even though there are papers, usually they are no more than 2 papers per class, some classes le...

    7 more weeks to go! Will be starting the capstone class Monday. Just finished up Health and Physical Assessment NU355, and Role Integration NU396. Professional Role Integration was not difficult at all, and was very informative. That being said, I...

    Ashmiller85, Congratulations on completing your first two classes, you're well on your way now! I'm also taking those 2 classes starting next week. Since they reduced the credit hours on 396 I'm thinking the workload should lighter. Looking forward ...

    Just completed 344 & 421. Yes, it is very doable. 344 is not too difficult, reading two chapters a week, watching a PowerPoint presentation that goes along with the chapters, and taking a quiz on each chapter. I think there were either 2 or 3 di...

    I don't think you could double up all the way through, I'm doubling up in the 2nd semester and will finish in exactly 12 months. Some of the classes just have too much work to do. If you don't work you probably could double up all the way through. ...
