  2. ANM: Not the dream job as hoped

    QuiltDog replied to JMaeRN's topic in Nurse Management

    I would suggest staying in your position for at least a year. Gaining experience as an ANM can only help you to find better positions in the future. The skills you are learning (evaluations,...

  3. Anyone in 4510 this summer?

    QuiltDog replied to favthing's topic in Ohio University

    I too am taking only one class per semester. This has kept me sane and debt free. It will take longer to get my degree but it is worth

  10. PRN--ON CALL

    QuiltDog replied to RNRN_DAY's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    That seems a bit much. Prn staff in my agency do 1 weekend a quarter in which they are on call. The pay rate sounds about right

  13. About to start my online Stats course. Any advice?

    QuiltDog replied to NoTurningBack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    QuiltDog replied to stirfried's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    QuiltDog replied to Peah4714's topic in Ohio University

    There is a Facebook page already - Ohio University RN to BSN online-academic outreach initiative. Total lifesaver!! 4510 is the hardest. I have been out of school for 28 years and was not at all used...

  25. I live in an area with A LOT of snow, and as a nurse, do I need an SUV?

    QuiltDog replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I live in NE Ohio and have never missed work due to the snow. I get up extra early so I can shovel the driveway and allow plenty of time to get to work. Not easy, but it can be
