Anyone ever work for Optum???..
I start next week with Optum Nurse call Line. I have been an RN for nearing 2 years, but was an LPN for 20 years prior. I do have 6 years med-surg and rehab nursing-- which was a big plus for them. I went on the interview, did a few tests, had a background check and drug screen and was offered the position almost immediately. Benefits are fantastic, and my hours are set, days on and off will never change-- except for holidays.

Brown Mackie vs Great Oaks LPN program
Hello, I work at a hospital which has Greak Oaks students do the clinicals there. The instructors are extremely knowledgable, and the students are not passed on unless they are absolutely ready to be. For Great Oaks, pass rates as follows: 2002: 84.16% 2003: 82.11% 2004: 90.07% For Brown Macke pass rates: there are no stats available There is another good program in Hillsboro, Ohio at Southern State Community College. The pass rates are: 2002: 100% 2003: 87.80% 2004: 95.00% To find pass statistics on these and other schools, go to: http://www.nursing.ohio.gov/PDFS/2002-2004-PN.pdf

OBOY!....did I date myself today!!!!!
This is non nursing related, but, a couple of years ago, I was substitute instructing for a college literature course at our local community college. We were comparing how some song lyrics are like poetry. I brought up Bob Dylan, and the 19 year old in the front asks "Who is Bob Dylan?"!!!! Now, that makes me feel old!!!
