1. Akron Institute nursing program

   amp83 replied to RNHealer08's topic in Ohio

   The akron institute is an awful school. My husband was enrolled there. He was on the dean's list. Straight A's in every class. He was failed twice, two separate classes, making it so he can no longer attend. First time was because the instructor said...

   amp83 posted a topic in Ohio

   I got a letter and brochure in the mail today from North Coast Tutoring Services in Solon, OH. Its a RN bridge program for LPNs, Paramedics and Respiratory Theraists. The website and brochure say its a blended program on online and in class. Class is...

3. Rets Tech Entrance Exam for LPN to RN

   amp83 replied to LoveMyBoston08's topic in Ohio

   Rets is accredited and the program isn't overly hard. It is very unorganized but they have a 100% NCLEX pass rate for all PN classes thus far. Their RN program is at 97%. I will be graduating there in 4 weeks. Their new class of students is huge. So ...

4. Akron/Canton Nursing Programs

   amp83 replied to R.Smith's topic in Ohio

   Brown Mackie is a very bad school. Everyone I know that has gone there or is going there wishes that they hadn't. The Akron Institute is a good school. I know a couple of people that have graduated there and my husband is currently attending their RN...

5. 4 or 5 years for basic RN?????

   amp83 replied to Chanelle's topic in Ohio

   Bohecker is a RETS program and I am 8 weeks from graduating from RETS and I must tell you, don't do it. Its a bad program. There is no organization and they really don't care about you. Its just bad!

6. Akron/Canton Nursing Programs

   amp83 replied to R.Smith's topic in Ohio

   What is the wait like for a LPN to get in to the bridge (lpn-rn) at Stark State? I am graduating in April of 2010 as an LPN and want to get into a bridge program ASAP! I have looked into Kent State, and I am very interested, but Stark State is closer...

7. NIT in Cuyahoga Falls for LPN or RN?? or somewhere else??

   amp83 replied to ChangeHappens's topic in Ohio

   Well I can assure that the Rets program at NIT is not good at all. This place is a joke. The teachers tell you more about their family life than about the subject they are to be teaching and when something is said about it to the correct channels. no...

8. Can nursing students take STNA test without the classes?

   amp83 replied to notthereyet0's topic in Ohio

   Yes, as long as you have passed one semester of nursing school, you can register and sit for the STNA test. I personally went through the classes and was told that by the DON of the program. Two of my classmates just registered and took the STNA test...

10. STNA Pay?

    amp83 posted a topic in Ohio

    Hello. I am going to school for a practical nursing degree. I have a job interview Monday at a nursing home for a STNA position. They offer training, but because I am going to school to be a nurse, I can opt out of it. I was just wondering what the a...

    amp83 replied to depmed1397's topic in Ohio

    I am going through the Rets College School of Nursing at NIT in Cuyahoga Falls and I love it. Its an excellent program. I highly recommend it. If the other campuses are like this one, I say go for it!

    amp83 replied to Wookie_RN's topic in Ohio

    NIT in Cuyahoga Falls offers a 15 month evening LPN program. I am in my first semester there. The next class starts in April. I am earning my LPN and then I plan to either earn my RN or BSN degree. But I wanted to be able to work as a nurse while ear...

13. NIT in Cuyahoga Falls for LPN or RN?? or somewhere else??

    amp83 replied to ChangeHappens's topic in Ohio

    I decided to get my LPN first because I wanted to get working soon. I can make money, LPN's around here make between $15 and $20/hr to start. My ultimate goal is a BSN as well. This way I can be earning money working as a nurse while I work on my RN/...

14. NIT in Cuyahoga Falls for LPN or RN?? or somewhere else??

    amp83 replied to ChangeHappens's topic in Ohio

    Considering the economy and the fact that most schools have a wait list for their RN programs, there isn't much of a reason to not go the LPN route first. I am doing it because I want to make some money and gain experience while earning an RN. There ...

15. What is your school's HESI policy?

    amp83 replied to KBoo's topic in Ohio

    At my school, you had to take the HESI to get into the program. Its not hard at all. It is very easy and if you have to take it before you graduate, there should be no reason you can't pass it. I have been out of school for 3 years and took the HESI ...
