1. University of Toledo CNL Program

   lyela replied to Krismb's topic in Ohio

   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. I know some students that worked, but soon dropped...

2. Starting OSU's NP Program in August, Anyone Else?

   lyela replied to sarahRN828's topic in Ohio

   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 chart the other day that showed most NP salary were...

3. CC vs UH

   lyela replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio

   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 even among the same departments. CC is on the cuttin...

4. How much do nurses make with ProMedica?

   lyela replied to Wolverine27's topic in Ohio

   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 details- PM me. Have you considered moving to lesse...

5. Case Western Reserve University

   lyela replied to resilientnurse's topic in Ohio

   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 Ohio schools. The ranking of nursing schools doesn...

6. Ursuline vs CSU

   Anukis, Why did you transfer from UT?

7. Ursuline vs CSU

   lyela replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio

   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 cares where you went to school- professional networki...

8. Ann Arbor hospital benefits questions...

   lyela replied to Genuine_Pure_Setae's topic in Michigan

   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 months and sometimes longer. I don't know about St....

9. CWRU BSN

   lyela replied to musaafirah's topic in Ohio

   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 for them is the relationship with Cleveland Clinic ...

10. Promedica Nurse Residency Program

    lyela replied to Purp08's topic in Ohio

    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 started in 2008 and continues today with no end in sight...

11. UH/Cleveland Clinic Tuition Benefits

    lyela replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio

    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 expence. $7500 won't begin to cover my Case tuition for ...

12. UH/Cleveland Clinic Tuition Benefits

    lyela replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio

    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 student debt for an OSU NP and no debt- in a micr...

13. UH/Cleveland Clinic Tuition Benefits

    lyela replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio

    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 tuition.

14. State Issue 2

    lyela posted a topic in Ohio

    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 saturated we TV ads both pro and con, but one thi...

15. Ohio RNs: What's the job market like there?

    lyela replied to nulife4good's topic in Ohio

    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 you can check out their offering on the web. I know ...
