OHIO Nurses what part of Ohio are you from and what kind of nurse are you/will you be

Published

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 was satisfied with my pay. As an LPN with just a yr. experience under me, I started at $12 hr. I left there about four years ago, and by the time I left I was up to $16 hr. So, in four yrs. my hrly. wage increased by $4. Your starting wage in many places depends on how much experience you have.

I liked it. However, it became too physcially demanding for me. I have chronic illness that was exacerbating. You will have patients going off at times. I worked with adults,adolescents and children. Believe it or not, I found the children the most challenging. Children require a great deal of energy to begin with and combine that with behavioral problems. Wheww!

I preferred working with the adults with more of the psychiatric issues vs behavior issues.

Good luck to you. Behavioral Health is an interesting field.

I bet it is!!! Thank you.
