  1. Anyone know about Marathon Health?

  2. Working with interstitial cystitis. is it possible?

    I worked with IC back in the 90's, the pain got so bad I had to go on morphine and stop work. I finally decided to have my bladder removed replaced with urostomy. and after adjusting to it I was able to fo back to work. I would speak with your manage...

    I am RN with 23 yrs exp, took off the last year to care for terminal parents. I have done majority of home health, ADON of LTC for 2 yrs, 1 yr infection control/employee health and some L&D years ago. I have done staff development inside supervi...
  4. I received a call and on the spot phone interview based on them finding my resume online.. Was not prepared but felt I handled questions well. Recruiter states she will call back this week and then there will be at least 2 more phone interviews and p...
  5. Help? I need to reinvent myself

    I have been RN for 23 yrs. I spent last yr taking care of parents who were terminal. Quit 2 good jobs to do it... I do not feel doing patient care is what I need right now. Nor do I feel I could actually do patient care right now. MY experience is L&...
  6. St.Mary's or Good Sam in West Palm Beach???

    Used to live there and have family there now. Salaries are poor in FL. The best hospital near that area is in Boynton Beach. Might want to check that out. In my experience both St Mary's and Good Sam are related somehow business wise so I bet salarie...
  7. New grad - Anxiety and Depression

    I agree totally. Concentrate on learning your job..obviously you passed boards.. so that is a Biggie! I fell that people who are not supportive and who put you down are really jealous of your guts to go out there and go for the Gold!! And yes, get a ...
  8. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    I went to a another online program, actually 2 classes at 2 different place..my financial aide was never used until the semester was over. So I think you may find that it will all catch up eventually. Any place I ever spoke to says the colleges front...
  9. Should I settle for a job I'm not happy with?

    Employers do this to get applications/ resumes that they can use to fill a job quickly if the need arises....they also like to see what's out there. This is what a HR person told me. Also we have a local hospital that posts regularly at least 20 diff...
  10. Should I settle for a job I'm not happy with?

    I, truly believe that the difficulty many experienced nurses are having with finding/changing jobs is related to this: In this economy where employers get many applications for most positions and many posted positions do not actually exist..the exp...
  11. Should I settle for a job I'm not happy with?

    I am one who could not work somewhere and be miserable. But I did not have to be jumping with joy either, though it was preferred. I had a position once that paid so well, I mean like double what avg RN pay was at the time but I hated it. It was so b...
  12. mood stabilizers and school

    I am not in college at this time but started RN-MSN online program last year then went on lamictal. No way I can focus, finish tasks or complete detailed papers. Part of me really wants to go back but reality is it will not happen for me. But every o...
  13. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    OU seems to be reasonable tuition but with all the requirements and the postponement of start dates, it is becoming more costly. Plus the stress of waiting for the starting info.
  14. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    They also said the students who applied to start in June would! I would want more than just their advertisement of word. They might mean they were accredited but are they still and did they pass? Just a thought.:)
  15. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    I think what Chuck means is that without his DAR he does not know truly what will be accepted and if they do not accept what he feels is appropriate he may not want to attend their University. Yes, that class may transfer but many university will not...
  16. What money can get you.

    I, seriously do not believe Jane Doe will actually work as a nurse. It has to be beneath her. I agree with finding the Dr aspect but that means actually working as a nurse. She will never make it even if she were to pass boards. Unless Daddy can pay ...
  17. Terminated illegally I believe

    Every thing happens for a reason!
  18. Terminated illegally I believe

    Sorry above post is " in my opinion" as my mother was HR manager in healthcare and business for her lifetime career.
  19. Terminated illegally I believe

    Many time non-compete clauses are thrown out by court/judges due to a person needs to work.. and many are never attempted to be enforced..more to play on the upright honest person to police themselves. Yeah right! Sometimes new employers will pay old...
  20. Terminated illegally I believe

    Unfortunately in a at will state, that CEO can fire you period. So you may have no recourse. Lawyers will usually speak to you for free the first time but good you have an in with one. When you get unemployment you can not work to make up the differ...
  21. Terminated illegally I believe

    Are you serious? you want to work for this man?? No one gets 2 week notice when fired.. someone may give 2 weeks severance pay if they are letting you go.. but this is not any where near normal nowadays. Me..I'd go apply for unemployment as not signi...
  22. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    Aspen University is the one that comes to mind where they sell tuition to whole program. I do not know of any that guarantee tuition prices but maybe they just do not advertise that...Good question to ask though.
  23. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    I have been following your thread and I will say you all are the most patient people I have come across!! I really hope this program turns out to be worth the wait, aggravation, and all. I wonder if you will have similar admin problems when it comes ...

    Congrats:yeah::yeah:
  25. What did you want to be when you grew up?

    I just remembered at age 5, I wanted to be President.. MY grandfather told my mother if ever there was a "woman" President I might be the one as I was a "tour director/planner/bossy" type kid at 5. Always making sure things were done and where they b...
