  1. Pay for new grad, contingent, subacute?

    newohiorn posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I couldn't figure out exactly where to post this. I interviewed for a contingent position at a nursing home working on the subacute/rehab side. I am a brand new grad RN. What kind of pay might I...

  2. My Hands Are A Mess! Which Lotion?

    newohiorn replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    I like Curel for use throughout the day--not to heavy or greasy. They used to make a Curel specifically for frequent hand washing--not sure if they still do since I just use the regular

  3. starting wage for RN??

    newohiorn replied to brandye1's topic in Ohio Nursing

    $21-22 in central

  4. please vote--change career mid life?

    newohiorn replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I'm surprised how many people are voting that you shouldn't change. I'm 37 and am just starting my nursing career. It won't necessarily cost you a fortune. I have an associate's degree that...

  5. Columbus State On line Nursing Program

    newohiorn replied to KatzchenLSW's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I believe Capital University also offers a BSN and I think Central Ohio Technical College offers an ADN as well. The original plan with Columbus State's online program was to extend it out to Dayton's...

  6. 1st, 2nd, 3rd shifts? 12 hour evening shifts?

    newohiorn replied to testikleez's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not in Cinci (I'm in central OH) but some of our hospitals have 3p-3a and 11a-11p in addition to the usual 7-7

  7. What's your favorite pair of nursing shoes?

    newohiorn replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I haven't looked for an all white Ryka to try for nursing but I recently switched to Ryka for running after wearing New Balance for years. Put a new pair on and ran 5 miles with no breaking in...

  8. Your honest opinions please....

    newohiorn replied to wasted-enough-time's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't mean to suggest that there weren't opportunities for LPNs. I just wanted to make sure that Anna was thinking about where she might want to work and whether the LPN route was the way to go....

  9. thinking of nursing. questions if you can answer...

    newohiorn replied to rcclover's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what the others have posted--I think I interpreted your question a little differently. I do think you need to have a scientific or analytical mind to be a good nurse as you will use...

  10. thinking of nursing. questions if you can answer...

    newohiorn replied to rcclover's topic in General Nursing

    With regard to the science, I guess my short answer is no you won't have to retain a lot of it. By this I mean that you won't need to remember chemistry and the life cycle of a cell from biology,...

  11. Nurse and Police Officer

    newohiorn replied to iluvnursing625's topic in Travel

    I wish you had gotten a better answer on this one, as I too would like to travel and my husband is a police officer also. We haven't come up with anything to solve this dilemma either. Security is...

  12. Your honest opinions please....

    newohiorn replied to wasted-enough-time's topic in General Nursing

    Anna, I agree with many of the others that $19000 for LPN seems outrageous. What do LPNs make in your area? In some areas it is hard to get hired as an LPN because many of our hospitals are not...

  13. Columbus State On line Nursing Program

    newohiorn replied to KatzchenLSW's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I just graduated from the very first class of the online program so I'll do my best to answer your questions. Pros: Relatively little time on campus required. If you are a self learner, it will be...

  14. Feeling hopeless- ended on Q 75

    newohiorn replied to eimaj's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm in Ohio--I know that doesn't help much--but I also took on the 12th (also ended on 75 questions) and got results via Pearsonvue on Friday the 14th. I felt like you, all questions seemed hard, but...

  15. Pay for new grad, contingent, subacute?

    newohiorn replied to newohiorn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I called to ask what pay they were offering--thought I would post it in case it can help someone else. Offered $28.75/hr for contingent (per diem) new grad RN to work in subacute area of nursing...

    Thanks for your reply, Cape

  17. Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy

    newohiorn replied to Saoudishabiba's topic in General Nursing

    I read all of David's books as well as his brother's regarding this case. They are indeed heartbreaking, but I don't believe they represent Munchausen's by proxy. Their mother rarely took them to...

  18. Best nursing shoes? recommendations?

    newohiorn posted a topic in General Nursing

    I will graduate in June and have just started working 12-hour clinicals. I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to have my feet amputated--I've been working at a desk job for years and the time on...

  19. COTC VS. Columbus State

    newohiorn replied to outerbanksfan's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The only different requirement for CSCC's online program is that so far they are requiring that you already have a bachelor's degree in something else. All the other requirements are the same as the...

  20. What do you suggest?? online or tradtional?

    newohiorn replied to HomeofLove4Him's topic in Online Distance Learning

    What about a local online program like a community college. I took science classes online and had to attend lab on campus once a week or every other week. Another thought I had for you is that...

  21. Columbus State??

    newohiorn replied to katonialynn's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm in the online RN program--will graduate in

  22. COTC VS. Columbus State

    newohiorn replied to outerbanksfan's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm in my last quarter at CSCC in their online RN program. We had some LPNs join our program in the fourth quarter to get their RN so that would come out to a year (CSCC is a 7-quarter program)....
