    OUxPhys replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    OUxPhys replied to Kawaii_Princess's topic in General Nursing

  5. Nursing while serving active duty in the Navy?

    OUxPhys replied to Kawaii_Princess's topic in General Nursing

    You’ll have to forgive me but what is HESI? When you say active duty are you referring to enlisting? Which program are you intending to apply

  7. Nursing while serving active duty in the Navy?

    OUxPhys replied to Kawaii_Princess's topic in General Nursing

  8. New Onset Afib

    OUxPhys replied to donotenter's topic in General Nursing

    Meh, its not a big deal as long as it's controlled. If gets real high then he'll have to be transferred to a tele floor that can start a drip or push

  9. ICU Nurse Fired For Refusing 3rd Patient

    OUxPhys replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    While I never go out of my way to talk about staffing with patients if they ask if we are short staffed I always tell them the truth. Im not going to lie because upper management says

  10. $200,000 salary as a RN, it's true

    OUxPhys replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah, living downtown C-Town does not require a car. In the suburbs yes depending on distance (I know some nurses who ride their bike to work in the summer months). Also, how do you not use some heat...

  14. ICU Nurse Fired For Refusing 3rd Patient

    OUxPhys replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Eh, government hospitals are guilty of this too, as are "non-profit" hospitals. It all comes down to the same thing

  15. Cleveland Clinic Nurse Residency

    OUxPhys replied to Nursing2019BSN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It depends what floor you work on. I worked in J building and I enjoyed my orientation. I think some of the nurse residency classes you take are helpful as well. It just sucks that the clinic has a...

  16. Hospital New Grad Orientation. I feel like quitting nursing.

    OUxPhys replied to PinoyRN123's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this is normal. I started as a new grad on a high acuity step-down floor. I remember telling myself that after 1 year I was going to transfer to an ICU. 4 years later I am still on a cardiac...

  17. $200,000 salary as a RN, it's true

    OUxPhys replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was playing around with that website. It says for LA I would need to make at least $103k (which it sounds like would be no problem) and for SF I would need

  21. Chattanooga Columnist's Controversial Recommendations For Area Nursing Shortage

    OUxPhys replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

  22. $200,000 salary as a RN, it's true

    OUxPhys replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Aint that the truth. That’s why I moved on from CCF. They have recruiting events every 6 months it seems. I saw OSU signed a new contract with their union that addresses turnover and implements...

  23. $200,000 salary as a RN, it's true

    OUxPhys replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work as a RN in Ohio. I would love to have the 3:1 ratio for stepdowns/PCUs but its a pipedream. This state is going backwards in terms of political thinking. I also knew a girl who worked as a RN...

  24. $200,000 salary as a RN, it's true

    OUxPhys replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It really isn't that surprising to see a RN make more than a NP. NP's are salary and don't get paid OT for working OT. A RN is still hourly wages and depending on OT could easily make more than a NP....
