Tri-C in Cleveland

fall in Ohio · Aug 28, 2009

to all who will be met soon at tri-c.

very nice to meet you.

i have a lot of questions for you, friends.

i've finished prerequisite courses by online from other schools.

i phoned to nursing dept. to inquire about net.

she said i need the student id(meaning registered).

without id, can't i take net at tri-c or other net testing center at other schools?

cause i will be applying for fall next year nursing program,

i will not register for tri-c for the time being.

will they permit me to register just for student id?

even though i register for tri-c, can i take online micro and a & p without going to campus?

when i searched the courses offered, micro and a & p were offered by half online lecture and half campus classroom. am i right?

is there any way for me to take net( i just finished prereq but not yet be reviewed) without registeration for tri-c?

please help me.

Hey Fall in Ohio,

I would think that you have to be registered to take the NET because they sent the NET results directly to your college; also, I think the passing requirements differ depending on the school. Also, do you already have any A&P classes?

I just took A&P I online and am currently enrolled in A&P II online. Actually, we are only required to go on campus 5 times per semester; first for orientation and then for 4 sectional exams. It depends on the instructor how long you will be on campus because my A&P I instructor did a 30 minute mini lecture before the exam and let us go after the exam. It seems, however, that the instructor for A&P II will keep us on campus for the full scheduled 4 hours to do some lab. Again, you mainly go on campus for the exams.

Good Luck!

Hello. I'm new to this site and like many of you hoping to get into the nursing program. I'm scheduled to take my NET exam on the 19th. From what I've found on here, the reading part has ended up being harder. Is that true? Also, do you know how far in math they test? Is it just basic algebra? Thanks for your help :)

Congrats NewStart2010. I just got my acceptance letter yesterday for Spring 2010. Can't wait to get started.

Sheeroo,

Congrats on getting into the spring program. That's what I am hoping for as well. How was the NET test? Any advice you can give on what I should really be studying for?

sheeroo · Sep 3, 2009

Thanks shamise18. The NET wasn't that bad. It depends on how you are at taking standardized tests. I just got a couple of books out from the library and kept doing the math and reading comp sections. Then only real problem I had in math was percentages, basic algebra was fine. There really is no way to study for reading comp except by doing passage after passage. Good luck to you hopefully I'll see you in the spring!

Hi Shamise18, for me the reading part was definitely harder than the math. There is some basic algebra. Good luck on the NET.

Congrats NewStart2010. I just got my acceptance letter yesterday for Spring 2010. Can't wait to get started.

Hi Sheeroo,

Congrats!!!!!! :yeah:

I am sad to say that I had to change my start term to Fall 2010. I just don't think that I am ready to start in January due to some things that I need to take care of. :cry:

Sheeroo and Newstart2010,

Thank you both for replying and giving me the info. Hopefully I will pass and see you both in the spring.

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to pass along this information. Applications are only sent out once a month, which means you might want to call before paying $100 for scheduling the NET early, which happened to me. So, the applications have just been sent out for the end of Aug and the next group will be sent out at the end of this month. I just missed it as I took the NET on Aug 28. :cry: So, as I wished that someone would have told me before as I scheduled the NET three weeks in advance, I'm passing this info along.

Good Luck Everyone!

I had an interesting experience. I had taken the NET previously about 4 years ago and everything I needed was taken care of (all of the pre-req's) but they changed the Math from 1141 to 1200. I took 1200 over the summer, called the nursing dept, confirmed my request via e mail, and waited for the application. I received my letter in August telling me I was eligible to take the NET test. I called but was told that I have to wait until the letters go out again in September. I'm now patiently waiting and hoping I get the correct letter this month. I was scheduled to take the LPN course beginning this Fall and the same thing happened to me with receiving the wrong letter last fall. I'm really looking forward to the RN program and can't wait to get my letter. It looks like Spring is filled.

Hi SA2009,

I was upset to find out the same information that you did after calling to check out the status of my letter after taking the NET. It would have been nice to find that out earlier!

Anyways, I received my acceptance to the Fall semester shortly after getting my letter and mailing it in and was resigned to starting in the fall.

I was married and then on my honeymoon and came back to a message that a spot had opened up in the Parma Hospital program for Spring!! So it looks like it may have been worth it after all because we must be at the top of the list BEFORE the others that took the NET in September.

Just wanted to let you know not to lose hope yet - maybe you already got a call too?? If not, I can't see how it would hurt to call and check? I actually missed the call being out of the country and thought I missed my chance (they told me to call by noon the next day). I called right away and left a message and she was still able to squeeze me in.

Anyone have any info on the Parma Hospital program for Tri-C? Normally you are supposed to be an employee there and then sign a contract - but I will just be paying tuition like normal but taking the classes there, I guess. Still waiting for my packet in the mail...
