  1. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of time in my situation, nor do I want to return to hospital work unless I can't help it. Fortunately, some of the OHN jobs in my area don't require ER work. For...
  2. Hi, Eww, Glad to see your post -- and hate to hear about your hours. I am entering into OHN on a leap of faith because it's PRN to start, although the organization is very busy and growing, and...
  3. I am so excited by your post. I am at a crossroads and can't decide what to do. After I start the new OHN job, I'd like to pursue one of three advance tracks: an online MPH through UNC-Chapel Hill...

  10. 1. What area of nursing did you work in right out of school? oncology 2. How did you end up there? (choice or chance or a little of both) loved studying the subject in nursing school and worked as a...
  11. Pens

    I am passionate :redbeathe about the Zebra F-301. It writes fine for small spaces and is not too expensive so I don't grieve when I lose it. You can buy them at Wal-Mart, K-Mart and other cheap dept...

    Isn't it part of the psych nursing

  16. Very interesting if you have a strong stomach.

    I'm like everyone else ... wow. I just watched circulation and cancer while organizing my desk post-graduation, pre-NCLEX. I can hardly wait to watch the others. Thank you so much for sharing

  18. That's wonderful, Roy. What a fabulous essay. I love hospice nursing, too, and your piece really spoke to me. I hope you will hang on to that desire to make a difference. Already, after only working...

    Public relations/marketing for 20
  20. What do you love about working in oncology?

    It's the look of recognition I get from the sickest patients who keep having to return and their families that keep me going. It's not for everyone, but I love it because I feel I'm allowed to love my...

    I was emailed by a recruiter listing student nursing associate jobs with four-hour shifts PRN. I thought four-hour shifts were awesome as well as the PRN. I inquired about a particular position at one...
  24. How did you know "your calling"?

    It's an undeniable feeling in your heart. But not everyone in nursing gets "the call." For many, it is a career choice and that's okay -- they're excellent nurses. Like Mississippigirl, I got fed up...
  25. I plan to start an RN-MSN FNP program in January. I am a graduate of an ADN program that did not require pharmacology. I will be required to take advanced pharmacology and wondered if I should I take...
