Thanks for the reply. It appears it is hard to get a job in OB in the Toledo area. I appreciate you letting me know of different options.

Hello - My husband and I will be relocating to Toledo Ohio in a few months and I am an OB nurse going to be looking for a job. Any ideas on which hospitals are the best or even where to look and any websites to find job openings. I would love some input. Thanks, Angie

Alambert603 - did you take the boards and how did you score on ATI if you don't mind me asking?

I am sure this has been a thread before but I cannot find it. Anyway, I am wondering if anyone has taken the ATI proctored tests at school and then passed the boards with the probability it states or not passed. How accurate is the ATI test compared to the NCLEX test? I am just curious to know.

Would someone please let me know what it means if you had no fill in the blank or alternate questions. Most of them were priority for my PN boards and it shut off at 85. Also how long did it take for you to get your results. It says wait two days before checking results, but are they usually posted prior to that. I don't know. I feel extremely sick to my stomach. I studied and studied and it didn't matter how much I studied nothing could have prepared me for that test. - Angie

My husband and I just visited Newport News this holiday and the residency program is actually at Riverside Regional and that is where we looked mainly. It looked fairly decent and we were taken on tours of the city, but basically a five-mile radius of the hospital as that is where they say to live in doing a residency. Is Riverside a good hospital in terms of nursing and how is that part of the area for living, crime, day care, overall enjoying it, etc.?

Right now I have a seven year old and two year old. So, basically day care and elementary school. Do any hospitals have a daycare program?

Is it mostly due to violence? How far is Chesapeake?

We would be considering both depending on the area, etc. Has anyone heard anything about The Toledo Hospital?

I think every school is different. I have been out of school a while and my GPA seven years ago was a 3.6, but I also took classes the year before school with a 4.0. I got a 125 on my NLN. I think it is all in how many people did well and who applies. I would think they would take the first so many who got the scores they desire and then go from there. I applied for two schools and one required the NLN and the other did not. I was accepted to both (very grateful) and ended up going to the one where they did not require the NLN due to the school being closer to my home. In all your grade point average and NLN score is well above average and I would think you would be someone they would consider.:)

Thanks for the info. I believe the hospital my husband is looking into for a residency is The Toledo Hospital. We will probably go up this Christmas break and look around at the area. Are there any areas to steer clear of in terms of neighborhoods or housing?

How far is Yorktown. I guess I don't know anything about the area at all. I am originally from Idaho and my husband moved me to West Virginia for him to go to medical school and now he is close to residencies and I have a 7-year-old in grade school and also looking for daycare for my 22-month-old. When you say okay is it mainly not a good area to raise children, busy, not so busy? If you don't mind me asking could you give me more information. - Thanks

My children are ages 7 and 22 months old. So, obviously grade schools and then daycares or hospitals which provide daycare. If you don't mind could you tell me the names of the hospitals, etc. - Thanks

My husband is in medical school and looking to do a residency in Toledo. I will graduate from nursing school next year and I am wondering about the area, places to live, good neighborhoods for children, etc. I am also wondering about good places to work for myself as a nurse. Any information would be great. Thanks.
