1. Tri-C in Cleveland

   rrmitch2000 replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio

   I will second that! Tri-C is extremely demanding and I had all pre-reqs/co-reqs done going in. I dropped my part-time job down to PRN status and actually for the Fall I am taking a leave from the nursing program so I can spend more time with my kid...

   rrmitch2000 replied to MelMelH's topic in Ohio

   sorry....my sample question was very loosely paraphrased so I am sure no copyright infringement was committed. We don't get our tests back so none of our questions in this thread would be verbatim. For the new students and others struggling with the...

   rrmitch2000 replied to MelMelH's topic in Ohio

   My advice...if you are young enough....and don't already have another bachelor's degree...opt out of doing the actual nursing program at tri-c. Do all your pre-reqs for a BSN and then apply to CSU or KSU or Akron and go straight to the BSN. Akron C...

   Scott -- no parma hospital for 1600 metro days students? I will most likely go for St. V then since it is close to metro lab...get the hour of practice in right after clinical. One of the girls in our lab this semester was at St. V and said it was...

   the key to success is nclex questions and knowing how to rationalize the proper answer. there are very few points in the classes (which i believe they are going to adjust that in the fall) so it is very easy to fail the course (less than 75 percent ...

   ScottE -- So tomorrow is the big day! Correct me if I am wrong...I think we have the same schedule...so that means tomorrow is just lecture and both our labs are on Friday...meaning no need to lug tote, etc and wear lab coat tomorrow. I have yet t...

11. SO so So frustrated, ready to give up

    rrmitch2000 replied to Loobug's topic in Ohio

    Hey -- keep your head up and take any work you can find as an RN. My unit manager at the hospital where I work as an Aide (I am still in school) suggested that the hospital jobs are few are far between right now and new grads need to do home health,...

    they will have the male uniform...it is a large store. The labcoat is unisex so you might luck out with that too, but since most women will be a small or an extra small it will most likely need to be ordered. I left them with the patches to sew on ...

    Scott -- you'll be great...patients are just people and the easiest way to care for them is just to treat them as if they were your own family members. Some are nasty because they are so sick and feel horrible, others are sweet as can be and thank y...

    my bad...all I saw was mosby and not jarvis -- did you order all the books that were required AND recommended? It seems like a lot of books doesn't it? I too, expect that there will be some drop outs. It does seem that there is plenty of opportunit...
