   ILOVEnrsg2 replied to txrn84's topic in NP Students

   Hi everyone! Just wanted to jump on this thread - I'll be starting with you all next month! My call with Yaunee is next Wednesday April 10th. Has anyone had their appointment with their advisor yet?

2. Confused about being a NP after MSN.

   ILOVEnrsg2 replied to gumbi_12's topic in Ohio

   I'm from Cincinnati and I work at a local hospital here. I know someone that went through this same program, and you will have to get a separate post masters NP degree somewhere else. The person I knew had a BA in Health Sciences and went through thi...

3. Job prospects - Cincinnati, OH area

   ILOVEnrsg2 replied to OhRN2's topic in Ohio

   Hey so I work at UC Health and have co workers that graduated from the MSN program from MSJ. I would suggest trying to be a part time PCA at one of the local hospitals to get your foot in the door. As for BSN/RN (I have my BSN) it only really matters...

   ILOVEnrsg2 replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

   Oh and just to add..invest in a good eye mask for when you sleep. It makes getting rest during the day all the difference.

5. Night shift work

   ILOVEnrsg2 replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

   I am a new grad. I honestly am glad I work night shift where I work. I work on a really busy Med-Surg floor 1900-0700 3 nights a week. It's a lot more slower on nights, the pace is nice, I like my co-workers on nights, and I get shift differential....

   I'm an RN and I've had eczema my whole life, and still struggle with it. I do have eczema on my hands, but it has been well maintained with prescription topical creams from my dermatologist. I would just not mention anything about your eczema at al...

7. Nurse Externship Advice

   ILOVEnrsg2 replied to Reagan622's topic in New Nurse

   I had the experience of being in a Nursing Externship (paid ) the summer before I graduated with my BSN, last year in May 2010-July 2010. I learned so much in those 10 weeks than I ever did in my clinicals during Nursing School. I had a great experi...

9. what field

   ILOVEnrsg2 replied to aboykin's topic in Ohio

   To be honest, right now (if you're graduating within the next 2-3 years), it's taking whatever job you can get. The market for new grads is not looking too promising now as it did 5-6 years ago, so you'll be lucky to get a job in any specialty at any...

10. FL BON taking forever

    ILOVEnrsg2 replied to TropicQT's topic in New Nurse

    Wow, I live in Ohio and that seems like a long time. Mine came in 5 days. I graduated in late May and got mine the first week of June. I think it was because I sent all my application materials (paperwork and money) in March, and all the BON neede...

11. Need more confidence or look confident for interviews

    ILOVEnrsg2 replied to newbie RN's topic in New Nurse

    OP, it can be very frustrating as a new grad, getting your foot in the door and getting that first job interview. I am a new grad myself, graduated in May of 2011 and just got a job offer last month after 3 interviews. BUT you ARE given the chance t...

    ILOVEnrsg2 replied to brandye1's topic in Ohio

    Just curious, are you working at University? I just got a job there, and this sounds just about what my pay will be.

15. To apply or not to apply...

    ILOVEnrsg2 replied to OhioRn11's topic in New Nurse

    I agree with CT Pixie and HouTX, I don't waste my time with "Experience Required" posts because HR is just going to blow through that and dump your file for that position, but I do post for "Experience Preferred." And no, clinicals do not count for e...
