  1. Got fired... again. Should I not be a nurse?

    Hey everyone! I thought I'd update you on how I am seeing as how you all gave me such good advice!! I'm working on an L&D floor in a small hospital that's part of a big system. My co-workers and my manager are very supportive and I've learned a l...
  2. University of Toledo Direct-Entry MSN

    Wendy, Apparently they've changed the name of the program, which I graduated from in 07. At that time it was the GEMINI program. I'm not sure specifically what you're asking, but here goes. When I was in it, we went to school pretty much year round f...
  3. Luv, the Ediburgh Postpartum Depression Scale is the standard from what I understand, but I think it's more focused on the 6 wk visit after going home. There are some studies where it was used in-hospital with good results. Here's a link : http://www...
  4. Penguin67 Good description of the difference between a journal & a magazine That said, there is a great magazine called Mothering that is more for those interested in natural childbirth & family living. I love it!
  5. Got fired... again. Should I not be a nurse?

    Thanks guys for all the great advice and comments. I really didn't think hard about the situation until I stopped being SO emotional about it. I'm feeling much better (thanks for the support!) and working on getting something new. I've applied severa...
  6. Yesterday I was termed from my job at a LTC facility (technically I "resigned"). I had only worked there a couple of months. I understood their reasoning for letting me go. Due to low census they sent home the nurse who was working the other end of m...
  7. What do u do as a rn in a ltc facility??

    Wow! That is an amazing salary! I agree with the previous poster that you should go check it out for yourself to see what the RNs do. When I started my new job I was surprised that the LPNs did the same job as me. The only difference so far is that i...
  8. absn or rn?

    You don't say your area of the country. I have my BA in French and decided to go into nursing. The University of Toledo College of Nursing (in Ohio) has a program where you can get an MSN in 2 yrs if you already have a bachelor's in something else. I...
  9. older students- RN to MD?

    Just curious why not interested in advanced practice nursing? It would be less schooling and you could still be a provider.
  10. Maumee, Ohio / I am moving there soon

    Flower is also not too far away up 23. It's a Mercy hospital which also includes St V's & St Anne's.
  11. Moving to Toledo

    Metro, Hope you enjoy Frogtown! I grew up in that area. I applied for a position at Toledo Hospital and was told they aren't hiring new grads at all. They do have a Residency program though. As I graduated in 07 but haven't worked they told me I wasn...
  12. Job Professionalism

    I have a situation and I was hoping to get some feedback. Here goes. I had my 2nd interview today at a LTC facility that I think went really well. It's for a part-time position (no benefits) but it's really close to where I'm presently living with my...
