Hi everyone, I am currently the Case Manager of Health Services for a steel mill. I'm wondering if any of you in similar settings utilize EHRs? Here's our situation: We do annual physicals on every mill employee, additional testing for certain OSHA r...

This, or, they are unliked by management and this is simply the mechanism to eject them.

How did it go? Any news?

As long as you can live on the compensation from the full-time job, it might be a good move for your resume.

Does your company have a Medical Director? If so, then you are probably considered under the supervision of that person.

Congrats on landing an interview! I now work in an administrative position in occupational health (contracted to one company, but actually an employee of a home care agency) and my interview consisted of more general interview questions. At the time,...

Galen actually has an online hybrid program for LVNs/LPNs...I just started and all of our lecture/theory classes are online with clinicals/labs on ground in the evenings/weekends. I'm a working LPN also and I have to continue working full-time for th...

I'm taking the applied math this quarter also...I've taken one math class online but it was lower level, so I'm nervous about trying to learn math that I've never come in contact with before. My coworker, who is a quarter ahead of me said it was pret...

Awesome, congrats on passing the PAX-RN! I'm also starting the hybrid program in July, but at the Cincinnati campus. Keep in touch and we can all help each other out!

Hope your orientation went well! I'm getting soooo nervous about class starting next Monday...I still have to buy a couple of books, but other than that I'm ready. I think...

Ok, tomorrow is orientation for Cincinnati Galen...I'm getting nervous and I'm way excited that I am finally taking the plunge. Trish, when do you have orientation for July?

Hi! I'm starting the online hybrid in July also! I met with all the departments and signed a bajillion papers yesterday. I'm a little overwhelmed today about it, though...going back for my ADN has been a long time coming. Good to know I'm not the on...

I hope you can find someplace but southwest Ohio isn't it, for sure. There are 4 schools in the Cincinnati area that each pump out 4 classes of LPNs per year. The nursing market here for LPNs is saturated, with most of the open positions being in LTC...

Congratulations!! Yes, start looking for a job but take few days to celebrate all that you've accomplished...it sounds well-earned!

I work in an occupational health clinic for a mill, but I'm actually a contracted employee through a home health agency. The contracting mill prefers to staff our medical department with contracted staff because it's less money out of their pocket. I...

I've recieved a lot of questions and pm's asking about this school, so I thought I'd just put it out there for everyone. I'm currently in the LPN program at the West Chester campus. I will preface this by saying that I'm not very pleased with my exp...

Yeah, I'm with SlightlyMental_RN on this one...I take my shoes off at the door, and the only time I take a shower right after working is when I have been spilled on in some fashion.

I agree with the pp. The turnover rate in OB is super low, and on my OB unit we have only hired from the outside about 3 times in the last 2 years. If OB is where you want to be, working as a unit secretary or scrub tech(if available) will help you o...

I am so sorry that you're going through this. All of the above suggestions are excellent. Maybe you could also look into RN transplant liason positions? We have an organ and tissue procurement agency in our area that utilizes RN's to guide patients ...

Hello all, I need some help from the wound care nurses out there. I landed an interview (to be held 12/16) for an "Administrative Treatment LPN" position and after speaking with the DON about it a little further it sounds like a wound care position. ...

Hi ksow, I've worked as a scrub tech/pca in OB in the Cincinnati area for the last 8 years. As far as I know, all the hospitals in the area utilize PCA's in some way or another on their units. Do you have specific questions about the job?

as a formula feeder, i will tell you that i had none of the above problems. my daugther did well and is healthy and happy, and incidentally did not "smell bad". i'm sure i haven't scarred her for life because i gave her formula. if you're going to us...

Bring your own, huh? I find this to be a really narrow-minded and rude thing to say. I have worked in OB and I know what the benefits of breastfeeding are, however I chose not to breastfeed. To breast or formula feed is a personal decision and should...
