  4. Finally out of med-surg and into psych

    stepaukob posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Finally, I did my year plus of med-surg (would have done less if an opening presented itself) and started my new position at a standalone psych hospital. I currently work 16 hrs adult and 16 hours...

  5. Finally out of med-surg and into psych

    stepaukob replied to stepaukob's topic in Psychiatric

    It's funny, prior to my year every person I interviewed with said that they wanted med-surg experience and now that I'm hired everyone is saying that I didn't need it. As far as I'm concerned, I can...

  8. Areas to live (or stay away from), possibly buying in Columbus

    stepaukob posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

  10. GRE Scoring - Average Grades in School

    stepaukob posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I visited a school's website which "prefers a cumulative score of 900 on the verbal and quantitative sections of the GRE". I would say I was about average in nursing school in grades. I...

    stepaukob replied to stepaukob's topic in Post Graduate Students

  12. M.P.A. or any Master Degree in other area of study

    stepaukob posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am trying to figure out whether a Masters Degree in another field will help me to move when I decide to look for another job outside of the "floors". I like what I'm doing now but want to have more...

  13. M.P.A. or any Master Degree in other area of study

    stepaukob replied to stepaukob's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the input, it's really hard to figure out where I want to be 10 years from now. As mentioned, I like direct patient care but since I am 42 y/o I don't want to be figuring this out too late...

    stepaukob replied to stepaukob's topic in Travel

    I understand that I would have to pay property tax. My question is in regards to state income tax. Would I have to contribute to each state for income tax? I am trying to state income tax from my...
