    Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    WildcatFanRN replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    I've looked at OU's program online and I'm still trying to decide if a totally online program would work for me. The cost is great, but totally online scares me for some reason. I am glad that OU is a...

    Why do night shift nurses get paid more when day shift clearly does MORE work?

    WildcatFanRN replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
