  1. Wexner Medical Center OR?

    notallwhowander replied to NYRNOR's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Wexner = Ohio State hospital. They have the best benefits out of any of the area hospitals, and the pay is comparable. I don't work there, but I know of quite a few people who do and they all enjoy it...

  2. Burlington Vermont Nurses!

    notallwhowander replied to J&B-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Did you end up at FAHC? I applied to their residency program there, just wondering how you liked it if so

  3. OSUMC new grad residency

    notallwhowander replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Hmmmm. I wonder if there's a way as new grads we can contact a nurse recruiter there to check on the status of our application/update our application when we get our license/etc. I'm getting a bit...

  4. NCLEX and ATI

    notallwhowander replied to bexspn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    TwinMom, do you like Exam Cram? I thought about picking it up (in addition to using ATI and the review course I just did). Curious as to what people thought of it. I know they used to promote a 'cram...

  5. NCLEX and ATI

    notallwhowander replied to bexspn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm taking a review course now and the teacher said that ATI is MUCH harder than the actual NCLEX. It prepares you, but since it's much harder it can also break down your confidence. Coworkers of mine...

  6. Working in nursing school?

    notallwhowander replied to Mandy0728's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It also depends on the type of nursing program you're going into. Working 24 hours a week while attending an accelerated second degree BSN program is going to be much different than working 24 hours a...

  7. Promedica Nurse Residency Program

    notallwhowander replied to Purp08's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I hate how a lot of these places can't at least send you a form email saying "sorry, unfortunately blah blah blah". You'd think it wouldn't be too hard to just mass email a group of people.

  8. Promedica Nurse Residency Program

    notallwhowander replied to Purp08's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I applied and received a call back yesterday for an initial screening. They said they were in the middle of calling all the applicants to do an initial screening (essentially just verifying some...

  9. Job while in RN school

    notallwhowander replied to lnsjes's topic in Ohio Nursing

    A little late, but definitely work in a hospital! Not only will it help you get a job, but it will help you in nursing school too - while your classmates are trying to figure out how to work the blood...

  10. New grad looking for a job

    notallwhowander replied to medic21's topic in Ohio Nursing

    You can apply when you're close to your graduation/NCLEX date, some hospitals will still hire you "tentatively" and give you a start date for after you're scheduled to take your NCLEX. But if you fail...

  11. New Grad opportunities in L+D/OB nursing

    notallwhowander replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks! That Bakersfield job sounds perfect, I'm applying today :) Thanks to both of you guys for replying. I'm starting to get pretty

  12. So I get a call from the lab.....

    notallwhowander replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    I think the initial eye-rolling is calling for a "critical potassium" that is perfectly within normal limits. Something's going on in that lab, whether it's an errant lab tech or a glitchy

  13. CSCC worth the wait?

    notallwhowander replied to kelliec07's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The more I hear about the critical care fellowship, the more I really want to be able to do it. Because of, well, going to CSCC however my grades are probably not on par for what they are looking for....

  14. CSCC worth the wait?

    notallwhowander replied to kelliec07's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It's a good program, but I don't think the disorganization is intentional. Having to switch your clinical day/location the second week of school, getting different information from different people,...

  15. CSCC worth the wait?

    notallwhowander replied to kelliec07's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Nice! I'm 3rd quarter hybrid. Oh, third

  16. CSCC worth the wait?

    notallwhowander replied to kelliec07's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Hah, you get what you pay for has become our class' mantra. FL, are you in the program

  17. CSCC worth the wait?

    notallwhowander replied to kelliec07's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Columbus State is absolutely disorganized right now, especially the hybrid program. It is an incredibly frustrating program to be in, and you have to be prepared to deal with changes to everything and...

  18. ****** off at CSCC

    notallwhowander posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    So! I applied for both the traditional track nursing and online track nursing at CSCC. I have heard great things about their program and it was really my first choice out of all the schools I applied...

  19. ****** off at CSCC

    notallwhowander replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Are you officially in the online program now Foreverlaur? What would you say about getting the textbooks for 110? I usually just rely on notes and lectures (at least I did for anatomy, phys, micro,...

  20. ****** off at CSCC

    notallwhowander replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Bravo!!! I might be asking you for tips come Fall quarter (Also, I feel bad about the title of this post now, but it was just so frustrating applying to so many schools and not knowing my

  21. ****** off at CSCC

    notallwhowander replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Awesome - congrats! Let me know how it is, since you'll be a 3rd quarter online student when I start my 1st quarter online =P Also, good luck on finals this week everybody (from

  22. STNA skills test HELP!!!!!!!!in Ohio

    notallwhowander replied to fryj3675's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The underlining means that it is a change from the previous year. The only criticals are the steps that are bolded. I am surprised that lowering the bed before doing a transfer is not a critical...

  23. Hondros College of Nursing - Input??????

    notallwhowander replied to adie0321's topic in Ohio Nursing

    If you're looking to shell out the kind of money for Hondros, I'd apply to the MCCN second degree accelerated program. You get your BSN in 13 months, which is nice, and from a highly-regarded school...

  24. ****** off at CSCC

    notallwhowander replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    So long as we're doing assessments *as well as* other things. I guess I didn't phrase what I was trying to say right the first time - for a lot of the students I meet who come onto my floor, ALL they...

  25. ****** off at CSCC

    notallwhowander replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Yep, Mt. Carmel (didn't realize they were the only ones who had MST's, although I think I remember OSU only uses the title of PCA even though they do phlebotomy as well). I know the Mt. Carmel...
