  1. Bad patient ratio on Med/Surg

    JulieRN07 replied to lpnQT25's topic in Medical-Surgical

    That sounds just like the hospital I worked at as a new LPN grad. I only lasted 6 months with the team nursing. I felt like I as the LPN was doing a majority of the work yet not having enough time to...

  2. An Unbelievable Night

    JulieRN07 replied to RNSuzq1's topic in Medical-Surgical

    First of all- I honestly believe that being on a med/surg floor is one of the hardest that there is! I don't think the other specialty areas (unless they have worked there at some point in their...

    Hello! Just wanted to wish you luck with your interview! I recently had a job offer in a level one trauma center as well. It is such a great opportunity for knowledge and experiance because you will...

  5. LPN vs RN

    JulieRN07 replied to 2bNurseNik's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the school. The LPN-RN program I went to was a 1+1. Every class from your PN counted towards the next year of school. Just make sure you find out about that up front so you are not...

  6. LPN vs RN

    JulieRN07 replied to 2bNurseNik's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there. I just became an RN after being an LPN for 3 years. I was able to work in a hospital as an LPN, but it is very hard to get hired-it's like the luck of the draw in Ohio. I went back for my RN...

  7. How do you get over the feelings of inadequacy?

    JulieRN07 replied to yellowflower's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is very nerve racking having everything you do be watched. I believe every nursing student feels that way. You just have to remember that you are not supposed to know how to do it-and no one...

  9. LPNS in the ER?

    JulieRN07 replied to BShelleyLPN's topic in Emergency

    wow! It is amazing how different states allow LPN's to take on such diverse roles! Cincinnati wouldnt dare put an LPN in ER, OR, or ICU! I would have loved to have been given that kind of opportunity...

  10. PHN in Ohio

    JulieRN07 replied to maybaby9's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I've been there with the 8-10 patients! You fear for your license everyday. That is not the way nursing is supposed to be, that is not what we went to school for- we went into nursing because we love...

  11. help

    JulieRN07 replied to cnaman's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Im not sure if you are 45 min south or north of columbus. There is a new RN program called chamberlain college of nursing where you can get your degree-this is in columbus. Also columbus state, clark...

    Hey all. The only UC sign on bonus for 5000k that I know of is for new grads going into thier critical care internship program with a 3.0 or

  14. New Grad Wants Er.. Need Some Help

    JulieRN07 replied to Italia13 RN's topic in Emergency

    congratulations on being almost done! It is not an easy road. I just finished my nursing program about a month ago. Depending on the level of the ER, it may be difficult to get into without...

    JulieRN07 replied to JulieRN07's topic in General Nursing

    I know this is a few years overdue, but I just wanted to thank all of you for your helpful advice. Things have gotten better with experiance. The nerves are pretty much gone! Thanks

  16. Level one trauma center the best place to start?

    JulieRN07 replied to JulieRN07's topic in Emergency

    I have been an LPN in med/surg for 3 years-went back and became an RN. And it is the neonatal intensive care. I wanted to work there because my son was a preemie. I do think I need to get into the ER...

  17. can't decide between the NICU and ER

    JulieRN07 replied to JulieRN07's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I did get a tour of the unit. At the time it seemed very slow and quite, but I know that can change at any moment. This nursery is a Regional Center, so these babies are probably pretty sick-i guess...

  18. Mercy Of Southwest Ohio Anyone??

    JulieRN07 replied to VinoLover2030's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It is a position you can take where you can write your own schedule week by week, and it takes you into a much higher pay bracket according to how many hours you work. The only down side is that you...

  19. Mercy Of Southwest Ohio Anyone??

    JulieRN07 replied to VinoLover2030's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The ICU is wonderful. That is not an option for LPN's, but would have loved the opportunity. Mercy is great because it is a smaller hospital and you get to know everyone pretty quickly throughout the...

    JulieRN07 replied to VinoLover2030's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I worked at mercy as an LPN for 2 years. It is definately the employees that will keep you coming back in to work each day! Try to get into a speciality area there if you can and steer clear of...
