  1. Will I get what I need?

    You'll do fine with getting becoming an RN and getting an associates degree in nursing from a tech school. Just make sure it's an RN and not an LPN, as the LPN has a lot more limitations attached to...
  2. Ohio Nurse Staffing Laws - Need Help!!!

    I think many states don't actually have laws about this; the hospitals have policy stating limits, but its not regulated by state law. Some states, such as CA, have more strict laws, and include...

  4. WANNA BE newbie needs some help! Please

    Ok, I have to step in and voice my opinion. I think getting the STNA, while seeming a good idea, is actually a waste of time. Enroll in college and go for your LPN or RN immediately. Don't waste a...
  5. I need a little guidance!!

    Congrats on deciding you want to go into nursing. I'm in nursing school in the Cincinnati area, and think it's going to be a great career for me. I'm actually in Northern Kentucky, just across the...
  6. May 2007 grad looking for work

    Well, I'm a nursing student too, so I won't be able to help you much. Before others try to help you, they will probably need to know what area of nursing you want to go into. For instance, not all...
  7. Cincinnati Pay Rates/Great Oaks Program

    OMG...r u serious? I am an adult, and would NEVER want to be treated like a child...and from everything you say, it sounds as if they are running some kind of grade school. Absolutly...
  8. Info on benefits....

    Actually, this is NOT a true statement all the time. For instance, I know people that will be in debt about 5K by the time they finish the ABSN program that I am in. I know of some hospitals will pay...
  9. Ditto on just about all replies. I also want to be a CRNA, so I'm going the ICU route. I'm kinda leaning towards CVICU because of some of the good posts I've read on the Student CRNA forum. I guess...
  10. Advantage RN Travel - too good to be true?

    I have to disagree slightly with Suzanne. She says, "Some agencies like to include it with your pay, but it should not be done that way...............it is not pay at all and should not be considered...
  11. I'm About To Walk!

    One nurse to 14 critical patient? Are you kidding? And the hospital probably wonders why 13 nurses and aides have quit during the last 6 weeks. That hospital should FIRE that nurse who was so...
  12. Ohio Accelerated programs

    If you are willing to look in the Cincinnati area, then you may want to consider Northern Kentucky University, as they have an accelerated BSN program. NKU is in the Greater Cincinnati area; their...
  13. Have you ever worked in Bakersfield CA

    I loved Bakersfield, and lived there for 3 years. It had close to 1/2 a million people several years ago, so it sure isn't the little tiny town that some people think of as. It has nice new...
  14. Nursing Students in Northern Kentucky?

    I've heard good things about the Gateway program. I know a couple of people there that really like it. I did the NKU Accelerated BSN program because it worked good for me. I already have one BA...
  15. Is it hard to get a job at Hoag Hospital?

    I learn something new everyday. Didn't know about the exemptions, as I was working in a different industry when I worked out there. Thanks for posting this
  16. Nursing Students in Northern Kentucky?

    Hey AndiG, I just started NKU's accelerated BSN program. I'm enjoying it so far, but it is also a lot of work. I'm in Florence, don't work, and am just trying to make it through this 18 month program....
  17. Is it hard to get a job at Hoag Hospital?

    Sorry, but I didn't use the quote thingy all that good. Anyway, at the end of my last post, I said that by law, you DO get paid time and 1/2 for all hours worked over 8 hours. It's a state law that...
  18. Is it hard to get a job at Hoag Hospital?

    . After 8 hours is NOT time and a half. So that would be around 30/hour if working nights. In fact, the stated shift states 7pm-730am. Hope that helps! :) Back2School@40 is correct. By LAW, everything...
