EmergencyRN 22 - Are you doing the online program? I have been accepted to the online FNP program and would like to hear from anyone with experience with the programs. Thanks!!
I have been accepted to spring 2017 FNP program at Kent State University. I also applied to OU and am waiting to hear. Has anyone started either one of these programs and have an opinion on them? I'm pretty sure KSU is more highly regarded, but w...
I am getting offers from them starting at 40 an hour, guaranteed 48 hour work week. has anyone worked for them? this seems like so much money to me. My recruiter quoted 15,000 gross in 6 weeks!! too good to be true?
I am going to graduate in May and it is time to send in my application for licensure to the Ohio Board of Nursing. I had a DUI before the age of 21, I am now 40. My instructor told me to attach a separate paper to my application with details of the...
I am a new grad who just started at at Cleveland clinic hospital. I am curious what the top of the pay scale is, i started at 23 an hour, which is what everyone starts at. I would like to hear from RN's who never got their BSN, and what they make....
When i was in nursing school, one of my instructors told us that his mother is an RN, and after about 5 years of nursing, he was making the same that his mother made, and she had been a nurse for 20 plus years.
I work at a Cleveland Clinic hospital, and i definitely think going straight for the RN is the way to go. Alot of hospitals are hiring less and less LPN's. I think the main campus got rid of all of their LPN's. Every LPN on my unit is in school to...
Huron School of Nursing has an evening/weekend program. I worked full time while going to school there. The hours are very convenient for working people.
My sister just got a job at cleveland clinic main campus rotating day/evening shift. When I got a job in July at Huron Hospital, i told them i could only work days and they were fine with that. From what I hear, most hospitals in the Cleveland area...
I took the NCLEX Friday and the licensure verification page on the Ohio Board of Nursing still says "pending"!!! Everyone else i know who took it had their results by noon the next day. Is this a bad sign?? What does it say if you don't pass? I k...
Well, i can answer my own post now. I didn't pass. It continues to say "pending" until you pass. It will never say "denied or failed" on the site. Here we go again.

I just graduated and am 40. I never thought that it was "too late" or i was "too old" to get into nursing. I wanted to change in life for the better, to have a career for myself, so that is what i did. I truly believe it is never too late to do a...
Ok - I just want to ask this....has anyone ever taken the NCLEX and passed w/out studying??? I am having a hard time getting motivated for this. After all the work in school, i just cant seem to crack open the books. I keep thinking maybe some mi...
Thanks for all the quick replies. I know what the right answer to that question is, i guess i just need some pushing to actually start studying. Thank you!
How long did you study?? I am scheduled to take it June 26th and for some reason I cannot bring myself to study for this!!! I am a procrastinator and after finally graduating I feel like i never want to open another book again! does anyone else fee...
See, this is where i get confused. I did not check yes to any of those quesitons. DUI's are,or were at the time, misdemeanors. I have never been convicted of any of the things they ask. They ask if they were committed "during the course of practi...
Thank you so much! You have put my mind at ease! I will definitely disclose it. Should i include details, like dates, etc. Or just say i had a dui when i was 19? Thanks!!!
I would love to hear from someone who specifically had a DUI and became a nurse. Did you disclose it in your application? I don't know what to do! I work with lawyers and they are telling me the application does not ask for that information so ther...
Thank you both for your replies. I will disclose all the information i have about the arrest. I was young and stupid and it has not been a problem since. I pray to God this will not compromise my license after all this work! Thank you.
I am about to graduate with an ADN. I was wondering if it is possible to have a full time job as an RN in addition to working for an agency. For example, if i got a job working 3 12 hour shifts, could i pick up agency work one or two days on my day...
Wow, i signed with the eastern region cleveland clinic and got 8,000.00, they start at 22.50, i thought the main campus started at 23.50? I just finished my ICU rotation at the main campus, i loved it! What unit will you be working in?
