  1. University of Toledo CNL Program

    Your success in this program will depend your writing- English majors consistently did better than biology and nursing undergrads. A B is from 80 -90. CNL is not well respected in bedside nursing....
  2. Starting OSU's NP Program in August, Anyone Else?

    Before jumping into a NP program, I would urge students to do their own research on the demand for NPs and discount what admissions staff is pushing. They just want to put axxxxs in seats. I saw a...
  3. CC vs UH

    It depends on who you ask. Some nurses at CC in certain departments really like their jobs while other departments are really tough on nurses. It is a large communality at CC, with diverse cultures...
  4. How much do nurses make with ProMedica?

    If you have a position at UM, count yourself lucky. I am familiar with both health systems and there are many reasons why you are better positioned at UM than in the Toledo area. If you need more...
  5. Case Western Reserve University

    Most people have talked to while I was there, felt that the price was not worth it. There are schools just as good, OSU being one of them. The cost of living near campus is much higher then other...
  6. Ursuline vs CSU

    Anukis, Why did you transfer from
  7. Ursuline vs CSU

    I would have made the same decision. I am graduated now, but with a ton of student loan debt that will be like a millstone around my neck for the next TEN YEARS! Besides after your first job, who...
  8. Ann Arbor hospital benefits questions...

    If you are in a hurry for coverage, then be fore warned- the U of M hiring process can take at least a month or so before you get an offer. The VA is even worse- in most cases it is a minimum of 4...
  9. CWRU BSN

    Having attended FPB at CWRU and two other state schools in Ohio I can assure you that Case will be much more expensive for no difference in the education experience. The best thing they have going...
  10. Promedica Nurse Residency Program

    Unfortunately, Promedica and Mercy have a near monopoly on nursing position in NW Ohio and with the oversupply of nurse in the area; hence professionalism toward nurses has suffered. This trend...
  11. UH/Cleveland Clinic Tuition Benefits

    Can you cite the name of the waiver document? My manager spoke to HR about a waiver of this type- they said they were not aware of it. Perhaps ignorance is bliss and a good way to avoid a $7500...
  12. UH/Cleveland Clinic Tuition Benefits

    Had I known that, I would have gone to OSU instead Case. Ranking means very little (to nothing) after your first job experience when seeking a new position. Would I trade my Case NP degree and $60,000...
  13. UH/Cleveland Clinic Tuition Benefits

    Keep in mind, that most places I have worked at allow you to take advantage of the tuition benefit right away-CC make you wait a year before you are able to pay for
  14. State Issue 2

    I'm surprised that no one has posted about this topic that comes up for a vote in a few weeks. Ohio is no different than most states in that these are hard times. I'm sure that most of you have been...
  15. Ohio RNs: What's the job market like there?

    In short- it is very competitive, even for an experienced nurse as many hospitals limit opening to people who are already in the system. Promedica and Mercy are the two biggest systems NW Ohio and...
  16. Phone interview with Cleveland Clinic!!!!

    I know for a fact that recruiters that normally are based at the main CC hospital were sent to Huron to be present for information
  17. IS IT ME?????

    Ditto to everything above, the "Nursing Shortage" is a big lie promulgated by nursing school who release false or misleading studies on a future short fall in nurses. Anybody can predict something in...
  18. Hearsay or not, Indiana has alway had a fine reputation of educating health care profession. They better hurry, because the word is out(more hearsay, no one wants to go on the record) many school of...
  19. If you meant clinical rotations there are more options on sites but no programs excepting to new one in Columbus: Otterbein University/Grant Medical Center Nurse Anesthesia Program In addition to the...
  20. No NA program in Toledo. Programs in Ohio; Case/CCR- Cleveland, Akron U.- Akron, SEHC- Youngstown, and UC- Cincinnati. Toledo is 60 minutes due east on turnpike from the Indiana
  21. What is CCRN?

    As soon as you have the 1,750 hours in, you can apply to take the test. It is a good idea to check with your supervisor to make sure there is agreement with total hours because they do audit a certain...
  22. There are various specialty opportunities out there provide you have the desire and ability to pursue them. You must do the research yourself, but here is one program that gives you an idea of the...
  23. Philosophy of Nursing

    It is good to recite this article from memory whenever I am wiping poo from a 400 lb. pt. and wondering why my PhD. nursing professor from the ivory tower never told me about how often this skill...
  24. For starting positions, the short answer is no. I have never read anyone state that because they went to such-and-such-big-deal school they got a higher starting pay than someone got offered at a...
