  3. I live in an area with A LOT of snow, and as a nurse, do I need an SUV?

    Shuggypie replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm also from NE Ohio, worked at the Clinic and was 45 minutes away on the highway. I had both an AWD and a FWD vehicle, but not an SUV or truck, never got stuck. Winter weather tires helped. Keep a...

  5. Ohio Health and OSU

    Shuggypie replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Thanks WoundedBird for the info. OSU salaries rates for Staff Nurses are based on the union contract, which I was able to find online. I was trying to compare that to the other 2 systems. I'm not...

  6. Ohio Health and OSU

    Shuggypie replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I was able to find OSU salaries in the union contract online. Is it true their nurses have the highest salaries? Does anyone know the shift differentials at Ohio Health or Mt Carmel? Does anyone...

    Sorry, did not take either during my time at ULL. If you are required to take them shop around and check out your local community colleges, prereqs don't have to be taken through

  8. Management sharing too much information?

    Shuggypie replied to Kschafer12's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unfortunately, you also told two other people. If one of them also told someone else, the information was repeated. Regardless of what these two individuals may be saying to you, unless you've known...

    Danij100, I also attended OU's program before attending ULL. OU was not a good fit for me. The papers were just overwhelming for me. I like ULL because even though there are papers, usually they...

    Just completed 344 & 421. Yes, it is very doable. 344 is not too difficult, reading two chapters a week, watching a PowerPoint presentation that goes along with the chapters, and taking a quiz on...

    Shuggypie replied to bridge2RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't think you could double up all the way through, I'm doubling up in the 2nd semester and will finish in exactly 12 months. Some of the classes just have too much work to do. If you don't work...

    Shuggypie replied to bridge2RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It will take me exactly 12 months to complete and that is with doubling up in the 2nd semester. I don't think you can finish in 12 months if you don't double up. Also, all of my prereqs were done....

    Shuggypie replied to bridge2RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took a couple of classes at Ohio University and it was just not a good fit for me. The one thing I like about UL@L is that they have traditional quizzes, so if you're not a good writer your whole...
