Hi everyone, just trying to get some posts goin on in our OHio chat room, im from cincy and i want to be a travel nurse eventually...i also want to specialize in pediatrics maybe become an NP sometime in the future....

I didn't have a great experience from RETS and felt like I wasted some money there. But if they have new instructors for the RN program its worth a try. We just didn't really learn anything different and some of us didn't get very good clinical experience. I'm thankful that I had a great LPN school and had a few years under my belt. I heard that RETS is offering to pay for their school for the LPN's that are going on to get their RN if they sign a contract stating that they will work for them. Is that true?

I graduated from RETS ADN program 8/07 and they have a contract with IASIS. You just agree to relocate for 3 yrs and they will give you $7500 relocation assistance and you just commit to work at one of their hospitals and they pay for your schooling. Check out www.iasishealthcare.com It's actually a good program the hospital in Phoenix was willing to pay me with shift diff and my years of LPN exp around $50/hr+. If you are close to finishing the ADN program you don't even need to sign a contract just chose the only hospital in Phoenix that offers loan forgiveness. LOL

Oh in response to the original thread, I am a psych nurse near the Cincinnati area and love it!!! I'm going right back into psych as a RN!!!

Northeast Ohio LTC Love the Grandmas and Grandpas. Want to learn dialysis but no experience and no one will give me any. Any suggestions?

Try Davita for dialysis. I don't have experience and just interviewed there a few weeks ago. Another girl who graduated with me had no experience and they hired here already and sent her to Columbus for a week of training. I hope I get the job!!! They are checking out my references now.;)

I'm from South Columbus and in school to be an LPN. I work at Children's and they are starting to hire LPN's instead of PCA's in the NICU (which is great, because all the RN positions here in the NICU ask for 2 years of NICU/PICU experience). In the future I plan to move on to RN, then BSN, then MSN and finally be a Nurse Practitioner. I have a 9 month old baby girl at home with my hubby while I attend part time schooling and he and I work full time during the day! He eventually wants to be a SAHD and can't wait for me to get where I want to be!! :D (neither can I!!!)
