1. OSU new grad pay

   llbCCRN replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio

   And for you to say "I'm not really a union guy," what's that based off of? Obviously never working as a nurse. Unions are GREAT when they fight for the benefit of the nurse and not for the healthcare system.

2. OSU new grad pay

   llbCCRN replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio

   Riverside and Grant are part of Ohio health.... Worked for them for 2 years and enjoyed my experience. Don't work at Mt Carmel unless you're desperate.... They're known to seasoned nurses as a dangerous place to work...

3. OSU new grad pay

   llbCCRN replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio

   I'm not sure how much they pay for new grads, but in 2012, they offered me a position in ICU for a little over $25/hr with a 4.75 night diff and 4.75 weekend diff. I had a year and a half of experience at the time. Thing is, OSU is a tough place to ...

4. Enjoying my first travel assignment in Hawaii!

   llbCCRN replied to MsConstrued's topic in Travel

   I've been a nurse in CA, it's a pain to get licensure there but it's so nice to feel safe delivering care as a nurse. What is it like being an RN in Hawaii?

5. Am I just clueless here?

   llbCCRN replied to mlane12's topic in Travel

   ShoeGal, can I ask what region of California you are traveling? (Aka SF Bay Area, LA area, SD area)

6. Enjoying my first travel assignment in Hawaii!

   llbCCRN replied to MsConstrued's topic in Travel

   I would love to learn more about traveling to Hawaii!! I've filled out applications with several travel agencies and would love to go ASAP, but I'm worried about my current job. I want to ask to do a LOA as well but seeing as I've only been with them...

7. ICU nurse new to traveling lingo- someone show me the ropes!! :)

   llbCCRN replied to llbCCRN's topic in Travel

   Ned, thanks so much for the advice! Maybe I need some remediation in Travelers 101, haha... Let me see if I understand what you said: if I travel and live in say, California... I will still be paying for my house (and taxes) in Ohio. When I rent a ...

8. ICU nurse new to traveling lingo- someone show me the ropes!! :)

   llbCCRN posted a topic in Travel

   I've been an ICU nurse for over 3 years now and I'm looking to travel in a couple months... I've done my fair share of research so I think I'm past the Traveling 101 stage... Now I'm wanting to know specifics! I keep reading about compensation being ...

11. Adult ICU to PICU??

    llbCCRN replied to llbCCRN's topic in PICU

    Janfrn, thanks immensely for the list of other posts... I guess it's a fairly common question. I feel better about making the transition now... Can anyone tell me what kind of orientation I should ask for? Not just weeks, but experiences? I was on ...

12. Adult ICU to PICU??

    llbCCRN posted a topic in PICU

    Hi all!! I've been an adult ICU nurse for about 3 years and I'm looking for a change. I'm bored of the same old same with adults. I've always seen myself as a pediatric RN and I miss caring for kids! Just something about them that makes your job wor...

13. Any ICU turned NICU nurses?

    llbCCRN posted a topic in NICU

    Hi all!! I've been an adult ICU nurse for about 3 years and I'm looking for a change. Just wondering if anyone could provide insight on the transition from adult critical care to care of our youngest patients.

14. Weird, but missing my old state's nurses union!

    llbCCRN posted a topic in MICU

    I found myself back home to Ohio after a 1 1/2 year stent in California as an RN (and I was a regular FTE, not a traveler). The ICU I came from was a well-oiled machine and staff morale seemed to be pretty high. I lived in an area of California whe...

15. Chamberlain RN to BSN online program, July 2011

    llbCCRN replied to SN3RD's topic in Chamberlain College

    Man, this has been a rough week... Not with thinking, just with writing. To say that the classes are writing intensive may be an understatement! Except I didn't get either book for Transitions or Health Assessment. Do you think I'll need them? -...
