    ryaninmtv replied to allsmiles's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I like Columbus. Nurses at OSU have collective bargaining through ONA and have retirement contributions into PERS. Lots to see and do in Central

  5. attention Rural male nurses

    ryaninmtv replied to wannaknow's topic in Rural

    The hospital I trained at had only 4-5 males nurses (RN and LPN). If I later went to work at a large level one trauma center where there were more men nurses but the ratio was roughly the same....

    ryaninmtv replied to susanmary's topic in Case Management

    I am a refugee from patient care and have found my way to case management. I am glad I made the change. There is stress but it is a different kind of stress. I deal with an inbox and voicemail now...

    ryaninmtv replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

  9. For those that have left bedside nursing.

    ryaninmtv replied to PhantomRN's topic in General Nursing

    I left the bedside six years ago for a case management job. I am now the supervisor of the unit. At times, I do miss the adrenaline rush of the codes and crashing patients but, it got to the point...

  10. ICU nursing vs Floor nursing

    ryaninmtv replied to nurs4kids's topic in General Nursing

    I found the ICU far more enjoyable than the floor. I really enjoy the technical aspects of nursing (vents, swans, IVs, etc.) so ICU plays well to that. The floor was pure insanity. Too many...

    ryaninmtv replied to xmasbabe's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Xmasbabe- I took several courses before actually enrolling in Excelsior. I would take everything you can before you enroll because the clock (as it were) starts running once you enroll. Start with...

    ryaninmtv replied to xmasbabe's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am doing the Excelsior thing through Chancellors, let me offer you my thoughts. It is expensive but of the big three (Moore, Rue and Chancellors) it's the cheapest. They offer the CPNE prep as...
