Good Samaritan School of Nursing Current and Former Students Cincinnati, OH

I was also accepted to good sam, but I was also accepted to christ and decided to go them. I have heard alot of good things... how the teachers are great and will help you if you need it, but you have to WANT this is what I was told. They said it is a VERY!!! intense program and a lot of people do drop out. I know of 2 people who dropped out, but I also know 2 people who made it and loved the program! Here's what I would tell you.... All nursing programs are going to be hard and intense! If you truly what this you will make it work for you! You have a year to decide what to do if you start in Aug of next year. Do you have any of your gen. ed classes done? Another idea would be to start this fall at a local college and take some of your classes and get them out of the way. I went to Cincinnati State and did all my gen. ed classes, except for the 13 credit hours that I have to take at Christ. Cin. State is very cheap and I like it there, but they go on 8 week terms, so if you next 2 english’s at GS then you will need 3 english’s at Cin. State. If your confused I can explain further. I hope this helps!!! Let me know if you have any other questions!

My goodness you'll be far from home! Well Good Sam isn't right in the middle of downtown, and I wouldn't consider it in a suburb. It's in Clifton which I would say that's about 10 mins. at the most to downtown. I'm so not familiar with that area, because I'm from the other side of the river in Ky. All I can tell you is a lot of the younger students that I know from Cincinnati State live in Clifton and love it! Me on the other hand I'm older and married, with kids, and I wouldn't like it. Good Sam is located right in the hospital on the upper level floors and there are apartments around there. UC is also close to there and I believe if you keep going further up the from the hospital there are other hospitals. I know that there are parts of Clifton that are very very nice and then there are some where you should never walk alone at night. But you'll have that anywhere you go.. for the most part I would think it's pretty safe. You should really come take a look before you decide that this is what you want! You have around 5 months left to pay your fee, I would maybe come down for a few days and check out the school and the surrounding area. As far as the chemistry I would say yes you can take it somewhere else and take something else to get your 12 credit hours. I only say that because when I was over at Christ last week he told me if I would have gone ahead and taken another Soc. I would have to take another gen. ed course to make sure I had my 13 required hours. So I'm just assuming that Good Sam is most probably the same. With that said I would call and ask just to make sure before you waste your money. Hope this helps! If you need anything just ask!

i got accepted for the august 2010 program too and i only got credit for chem 101...let me know what you find out about chem classes! thanks

they took my micro, chem1, psych and english classes so i'll be taking whatever other gen eds to finish...the girl i talked to said if you arent directly accepted into nursing (like there isnt enough spots) the first semester you are in gen eds then you start nursing...what about you? where are you taking other gen eds at?
