Bohecker Cincinnati Schedule


Hi everyone!

I'm new to this site and new to the Cincinnati area. My husband and I moved here a few months ago from Indiana. I currently work part-time as a Home Health Aide/STNA and am enrolled to attend the Bohecker College LPN program that begins this December. I was hoping to get some responses from current students regarding scheduling. I signed up to take the evening classes, which run from 4 - 11 PM Monday thru Friday. I work from 6:00 am until 1:00 PM Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

I asked my admissions rep if the clinicals are scheduled during those hours at night, too, and she assured me that they were. However, despite her word, I'm just kind of worried that the clinicals are actually scheduled at different times. I have two young children and CANNOT afford to quit my job. That is the reason I selected Bohecker because they are the only ones who had an evening program in this area, at least that I could find. Can any current or past evening students comment on what hours your clinicals were generally held? Is it true that they were held during the usual 4-11 PM or were a lot of them during the day, on weekends, etc.? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Lisa

My aunt is in the evening lpn program in Ravenna. She does Mon-Thurs and Saturday clinicals I think 7am-4 or 5 pm. I think they trick you into enrolling because when I started looking into their program (DAYS) They told me classes would be Mon-Fri 8/8:30am-4/5p with possible Sat clinicals I have paperwork they gave me that shows this. Then when I did the enrollment they made me sign a paper saying that I understand that classes are from 7am-5:30pm!!! I asked why the hours were different and the admissions rep was like "oh you want to be a nurse don't you? this is only for a year isn't it worth it?" WHATEVER! She also said I could do my clinicals through the week but changed the story while I was signing the enrollment papers! I also have 2 young children and a job. I will still attend because I need to start a career but I HATE being lied to by people I am paying 20,000 dollars to!

Buckdropper, I'm with you on this! My admissions rep did the same thing. I clearly told her that I needed to know for my job. I work in Home Health as an aide and where I work, they like to keep us with the same clients each week, on a set schedule. I cannot be running to my boss every week and saying, "Sorry I have clinicals at such-and-such this week so I can't work." I looked at doing Chamberlain's online Associate degree in Nursing. Someone said you take all classes online and then just meet in Columbus, OH one day a week for lab/clinicals. If that's really true, it would definitely work better with my schedule. Columbus isn't TOO far from Cincinnati, and if I only had to drive it one day a week, I could swing that. I have found a lot of posts on here about people completingthe BSN program online, but not many about the ADN. I guess Chamberlain's reputation is not the greatest, but then neither is Bohecker's. And every school has negative points. At this point, I just don't know what to do.
