  1. Bakersfield RN Salaries by Years of Experience

    llbCCRN posted a topic in California Nursing

    I recently moved to Bakersfield from out of state and am a new grad RN. Bakersfield seems to have a very different financial situation than other larger cities in California. Could someone give me...

  2. OSU new grad pay

    llbCCRN replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio Nursing

    And for you to say "I'm not really a union guy," what's that based off of? Obviously never working as a nurse. Unions are GREAT when they fight for the benefit of the nurse and not for the healthcare...

  3. OSU new grad pay

    llbCCRN replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Riverside and Grant are part of Ohio health.... Worked for them for 2 years and enjoyed my experience. Don't work at Mt Carmel unless you're desperate.... They're known to seasoned nurses as a...

  4. OSU new grad pay

    llbCCRN replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm not sure how much they pay for new grads, but in 2012, they offered me a position in ICU for a little over $25/hr with a 4.75 night diff and 4.75 weekend diff. I had a year and a half of...

  5. Enjoying my first travel assignment in Hawaii!

    llbCCRN replied to MsConstrued's topic in Travel

    I've been a nurse in CA, it's a pain to get licensure there but it's so nice to feel safe delivering care as a nurse. What is it like being an RN in

  6. Am I just clueless here?

    llbCCRN replied to mlane12's topic in Travel

    ShoeGal, can I ask what region of California you are traveling? (Aka SF Bay Area, LA area, SD

  7. Enjoying my first travel assignment in Hawaii!

    llbCCRN replied to MsConstrued's topic in Travel

    I would love to learn more about traveling to Hawaii!! I've filled out applications with several travel agencies and would love to go ASAP, but I'm worried about my current job. I want to ask to do a...

  8. ICU nurse new to traveling lingo- someone show me the ropes!! :)

    llbCCRN posted a topic in Travel

    I've been an ICU nurse for over 3 years now and I'm looking to travel in a couple months... I've done my fair share of research so I think I'm past the Traveling 101 stage... Now I'm wanting to know...

  9. ICU nurse new to traveling lingo- someone show me the ropes!! :)

    llbCCRN replied to llbCCRN's topic in Travel

    Ned, thanks so much for the advice! Maybe I need some remediation in Travelers 101, haha... Let me see if I understand what you said: if I travel and live in say, California... I will still be paying...

  10. Adult ICU to PICU??

    llbCCRN posted a topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Hi all!! I've been an adult ICU nurse for about 3 years and I'm looking for a change. I'm bored of the same old same with adults. I've always seen myself as a pediatric RN and I miss caring for kids!...

  13. Adult ICU to PICU??

    llbCCRN replied to llbCCRN's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Janfrn, thanks immensely for the list of other posts... I guess it's a fairly common question. I feel better about making the transition now... Can anyone tell me what kind of orientation I should...

  14. Any ICU turned NICU nurses?

    llbCCRN posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hi all!! I've been an adult ICU nurse for about 3 years and I'm looking for a change. Just wondering if anyone could provide insight on the transition from adult critical care to care of our youngest...

  15. Weird, but missing my old state's nurses union!

    llbCCRN posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    I found myself back home to Ohio after a 1 1/2 year stent in California as an RN (and I was a regular FTE, not a traveler). The ICU I came from was a well-oiled machine and staff morale seemed to be...

  16. Chamberlain RN to BSN online program, July 2011

    llbCCRN replied to SN3RD's topic in Chamberlain College

    Man, this has been a rough week... Not with thinking, just with writing. To say that the classes are writing intensive may be an understatement! Except I didn't get either book for Transitions or...

  17. New Grad

    llbCCRN replied to mom2lily's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't agree with anyone who says that LTC and SNFs are for new grads without connections. I graduated from Ohio in February, moved to California in May, and with persistence and patience, found my...

  18. Columbus Ohio=no new grad rn jobs

    llbCCRN replied to leaBSN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    No, don't just show up. Somebody once gave me this piece of advice: If you want to find the name of the nurse manager of a unit, call the hospital, say you were a patient on that unit and want to...

  19. Columbus Ohio=no new grad rn jobs

    llbCCRN replied to leaBSN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Mount Carmel is very likely to hire new grads, try finding the name of a manager and handing your resume and cover letter in in person. I worked for Mt Carmel for 2 years and in that time there were...

  20. What hospital is best to work for in Columbus, OH?

    llbCCRN replied to Katya81's topic in General Nursing

    I agree! I worked at Mount Carmel West for 2 years and absolutely loved it. Smiles from everyone you see, the housekeepers make jokes with the doctors and nurses, the PCAs (Patient Care Assistants)...

  21. My painfully long orientation

    llbCCRN replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    I would try to stick it out. Biting the bullet and taking the extra 2 weeks of orientation looks a lot better than being difficult or arrogant. You also don't want to be thrown under the bus by...

  22. How soon have you quit a job?

    llbCCRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I see your concern, but PLEASE watch how you word your letter/email to the DON. It seems like you will have an attitude toward him/her. If you give someone an ultimatum, they will most likely...

  23. Is it true? BS + RN does not = BSN?

    llbCCRN replied to Cathylady's topic in General Nursing

    Straight to the point!

  24. Wanting to pursue Midwifery at such a young age???

    llbCCRN replied to NurseB_'s topic in General Nursing

    Work it, girl! There's no reason you can't succeed at a young age. When I met my OB/GYN for the first time, my jaw dropped at how young she looked. She looked just a few years older than me and I'm...

  25. Privacy rules for reproductive history

    llbCCRN replied to GMHarmony's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I think that unless it is a true emergency situation (i.e. we don't have time to get much information because this person is about to DIE), we should always ask to speak with the patient in private...
