  3. New Grad BSN..looking for job in Columbus...There's Hope.

    OSU only hires new grads through the Residency. It's a national program and everyone must go through it. Even if you apply to a regular position, you still do residency. I graduated in December with...
  4. Hiring a new grad in Columbus Ohio? Advice

  5. I'm a new grad. I graduated December 2012. I passed NCLEX January 2013. I was lucky and got a job at the hospital I wanted (large academic medical center). I plan on staying here for a long time...
  6. Exploring other jobs after 6 months

    I guess another concern with my unit is that it is infectious disease. In 6 months, I have been exposed to TB 8 times. Generally people who we waited to rule out until later or the results were not...

  8. Exploring other jobs after 6 months

  9. Exploring other jobs after 6 months

    We're union and our contract says 6 months. It just changed to 18 months but I barely made it in under the 6 month rule. I've already checked that with
  10. Having tried to teach myself ECG rhythms in preparation for ACLS before getting a job... I'd say wait. My job put me through a 3-day ECG class and it made so much sense after. Now having worked 6...
  11. low GPA, any hope for NP?

    When you have that many credit hours, it takes a lot of hours to increase a GPA. For example, a student with 230 credit hours and a 2.6 GPA would have to take 92 credit hours and earn nothing but A's...
  12. Family Nurse Practitioner AND Nurse Midwife??

  13. low GPA, any hope for NP?

    I'm worried about the same. I have 230 credit hours so my GPA won't go up. My cumulative is also 2.6. However, my ADN was 3.7 and RN-BSN was 4.0. I'm hoping they'll overlook my 2.1 prior to nursing...

    Most NPs at least worked during school so that had 2-3 years experience upon
  15. BSN straight to MSN program...is it even possible?

    They recommend experience because, IMO, it's not safe to practice as a NP without several years RN

    Yes, OSU = Ohio State University. They are in Columbus, OH. I live there and work there. They pay for 10 credit hours per semester with no maximum. They pay tuition and general fees. You only pay...
  17. How do you figure out what specialty to pick?

  18. I am a RN who is considering applying to a MSN program to start Fall 2014. However, I cannot figure out what specialty I want to do. I love trauma/critical care and always considered acute care NP....
  19. Buy or Rent Nursing Textbooks

    I bought all mine and sold most of them the day I passed NCLEX. The rest I threw away or donated. If I had to do it over, I would rent most. Some books we used every semester though, so it makes sense...
  20. So, you graduated, how long until you tested?

    I graduated December 14, got my ATT January 9, and tested January 28. I have numerous friends that graduated from CSCC as well in early May and most have already taken the NCLEX and passed it by...
  21. How do you figure out what specialty to pick?

    I wish more schools did MSN programs like Case Western. It's not an option for me (relocation + price) but they have a lot of blended majors that don't really add much time to schooling (maybe a...
  22. How do you figure out what specialty to pick?

    University Hospitals in Cleveland offers up to $3,000/year for tuition reimbursement. Cleveland Clinic offers $7,500/year. CHOP offers $5,250/year. Johns Hopkins offers $15,000/year. Tuition at my...
  23. How do you figure out what specialty to pick?

    It's not so much being unaware of what my future job would be. I have shadowed FNPs in doctor's offices, Minute Clinics, and hospitals. I have shadowed ANPs, ACNPs, and a midwife. My gyno is a...

  25. Question about CEs for license renewal

    Yes, all my CEs are nursing; they were earned as part of my RN job. I get the within the 2 year thing. But I renewed my license in late May 2013 and it is due to expire 8/2015 but I'll likely renew...
