1. What's the deal with Columbus State admission?

   formerarch replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio

   Some of the NURC classes are accelerated, so (2) can be taken in one quarter (one the 1st half of the quarter, the next class the 2nd half). I knew the HESI was a cumulative 75% score or better, which will help. But i'll definitely need to clean the...

2. Accelerated BSN, how much did it cost you

   formerarch replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Checked out one of the accelerated programs here in central Ohio recently. $30,000 for a year, with about 60 openings and 200 applicants.

3. Venting about BON involvement in DUI

   formerarch replied to Nursing NCO's topic in Recovery

   I'm firmly in the middle on this. DUI's are serious and should be treated more harshly to make them sink in. But taking away somebody's livelihood is another matter. Forcing everyone with a DUI to give up their careers and spend the rest of their ...

4. What's the deal with Columbus State admission?

   formerarch replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio

   Hi, foreverLaur. Don't mean to butt in, but was trying to find information for the HESI exam for CSCC and i'm interested in some perspectives of people who've taken it. I had several classes from high school and college accepted when i applied to CS...

5. I start nursing school tomorrow and I'm having second thoughts...help!

   formerarch replied to Rachelmm007's topic in General Students

   Unfortunately, there are few good professions to enter at the moment. Your education and training should be for the long term though (e.g., a 40+ year career), and i believe nursing is still an excellent choice. There's a new focus on national health...

6. need advice on my two education options please

   formerarch replied to cold in wisconsin's topic in ADN/BSN

   i seem to be doing this a lot lately. Another can't hurt . . . . . . Not advice necessarily, but a similar situation. Am also looking at nursing as a 2nd career (former architect), and have gone through the same BSN/ADN debate. The accelerated BSN re...

7. Not a new story yet to me it is...

   formerarch replied to futureunknown's topic in Men

   Not necessarily advice so much as feedback from a similar situation. Was last employed in another field (architecture) 1 1/2 years ago. A horrific economy for construction pretty much wrecked that. But there were several other downsides also. If you...

8. former architect . . .

   formerarch replied to formerarch's topic in Career Support

   Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm amazed by all the other people who've been in similar situations. Just wish i could climb in the way-back machine and do it all right the first time, rather than getting hit by a combination jab/uppercut of a horri...

9. former architect . . .

   formerarch posted a topic in Career Support

   . . . looking at a possible career change. Male, 44 years old, family (2 boys, 6 and 9), and unemployed for 1 1/2 years now. I began taking a cursory look into nursing 2-3 months ago, talked with a neighbor about it (he and his wife are both nurses),...
