    New England. Currently working at GE Aviation in NH. I've worked for GM in Massachusetts; Shire Pharmaceuticals; FiberMark Paper Company (a paper mill) and Ruger Corporation (a gun maker). I'm COHC...

  2. Ford Motor Company

    42pines replied to NHCNurse's topic in Occupational Health

    As Swilliams-RN has said few major corporations hire nurses directly anymore. Almost all of them are contracted by a specialized company that runs the clinic. This is not a bad thing and though...

  3. Interview this week, what ??'s should I ask...

    42pines replied to newtelenurse's topic in Occupational Health

    Just ask what comes to mind. What are your duties, who works with you, whatever. RBeck911 comments that CM is a big part of Occ Health Nursing. I've worked for GE; GM; a paper company; Shire...

  4. How old is too old for an Algebra class

    42pines replied to jensjo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm about to turn 58 and I'm thinking of a Master's and know that they too will want Stats. I will take a class but perhaps one of the Coursera or free self-paced ones. If you really think you need...

  5. health education topics i can share here in the oil rig

    42pines replied to mikolagarde's topic in Occupational Health

    Posters about Lyme Disease? Seriously though, Health Education's importance has been rising rapidly in many Occupational Health Settings, it's now far more likely that a corporation will lose the...

  6. What do you wear to work?

    42pines replied to cdienst's topic in Occupational Health

    It really depends upon what your job demands. If you're mostly rapid response with included investigatory safety related stuff then blue jeans may be appropriate, that may hold true in mining,...

  7. OHN Salary.....

    42pines replied to CrazyScrubNurse's topic in Occupational Health

    Very hard to say, Canada like the US is a mighty big place. Moncton, NB might be, as a guess $54-68, whereas Vancouver might command 65-75, and extremely remote places like the mines way up North...

  8. Factory Nursing?

    42pines replied to Topaz7's topic in Occupational Health

    Yeah, jess...come to think of it, I've never been a direct hire and my various jobs have always been either via a headhunter or an Occ Health agency. I think that direct hires are almost non-existent...

  9. You can RETURN your student debt!

    42pines replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    What I find most amazing is that (I'm old) I've been to college 4 times. The first times, in the '70's I could earn enough during the summer to pay for the entire following years cost. The second...

  10. You can RETURN your student debt!

    42pines replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Mine triples in December. Yes, 3x per month what it is now. I wouldn't mind a bit--if I could find a job in my field. But as an Occ Health RN--since manufacturing is largely dead, I am

  11. passive aggressive nurses

    42pines replied to treeye's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To understand passive-aggressiveness in woman I suggest that you invest $1 + a few $ postage from half.com or check addall.com and search for the book: Odd Girl Out : The Hidden Culture of...

    sorry dbl

  13. I passed NCLEX (and here's what I did)

    42pines replied to Awesomocity0's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi Nu. I hope you don't take offense, and I do not mean to be judgmental but I have seen this before. My guess is that English is not your native language. The structure of your native language,...

  14. I passed NCLEX (and here's what I did)

    42pines replied to Awesomocity0's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't do anything. One of our professors gave a two day review course but I had no money so never took it. I too found the test easy, and fun. I was laughing near the end. (Luckily I came when...

  15. Plastic Surgery

    42pines replied to JerseyGirl2010's topic in Aesthetics

    Good question. I'd go with uthscsa2011 and do OR. Great future opportunity due to our aging population. I need my neck tightened up a bit--please IM me when you're

  16. What to do with a head banger?

    42pines replied to djules's topic in Correctional

    Long before I was an RN I was a caretaker for various clients (we never called them patients). These people had their own house, and were cared for 24/7. There were some funny stories like the guy...

  17. Online classes: Who? What? Where? Why?

    42pines replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I took a few, this was 2002, perhaps things have changed. Both were a disappointment. There were strange things that occur in the "ether" of the internet. We, as students could converse, but I...

  18. End of the Phillipine nursing profession in the States--2013

    42pines replied to steppybay's topic in International Nursing

    Great article, thank you. "Many PH RNs now resort to marrying American citizens (fiancee visas) whether for real or not - just to be able to enter the US legally." How very true. And this happened to...

  20. Visitor filming during code

    42pines replied to Lev's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Every single code that I was involved in (Adult ICU) sadly fit neatly into that comment. This means that in every code that I was involved in, had it been my family I would have said "no."...

  21. Most useful advanced degree for working in a third-world country

    42pines replied to James1:27's topic in International Nursing

    My suggestion is to graduate, spend a year in Med-Surg, then move to Emergency. Then do a distance learning course while working, maybe with a reduced workload, possibly at the hospital's expense and...

    42pines replied to jsterling01's topic in Occupational Health

    Hi jssterling01 My answer is a simple: Apply and if accepted you'll be trained to do everything that you need to do. That was easy--eh? A day in the life of Employee/Occ RN in a medical...

    42pines posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd like to go back to college (University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Public Health) for an Occupationarl Health ANP degree. My past grades are good but I'm stumped at letters of...

  24. What companies policies do you have for work comp?

    42pines replied to livingonadream's topic in Occupational Health

    It sounds like things really are out of control. You have a strange safety culture--and it will be an uphill battle to change things and will take time--as in years, and then only with the buy-in of...

  25. Factory Nursing?

    42pines replied to Topaz7's topic in Occupational Health

    Simply research (ok--maybe not so simply) and find all manufacturing within travel distance with 200 or more employees find if they have an Occ Health person/clinic--talk to them. But factory nursing...
