Bohecker College in Ohio

[deedah72]

Hi everyone. I'm thinking about attending Bohecker College in Ohio for the LPN to RN transition. Does anyone know about this program or have attended. I'm looking for a good transition program. I have a meeting set up with them next week, but just was wondering if anyone had any info about them before the meeting. Someone told me they are really expensive. Not sure if this is true or not. Thanks ahead for any info, Rachael

Hello, I go to Bohecker in Cincinnati. I recently completed my LPN program and I am waiting to take the boards next week. (Nervous lol) Anyway, we did have a lot of problems at my school, it is the newest of all the campuses and they struggled through most of our program. We finally got a DON in my last term so things are getting better. We have some really good teachers and some idiot teachers. Some of them I can't even figure out how the function as a nurse let alone an instructor. I have recently been told by a friend still in school that they are really cleaning house since we left. Good. I am planning on going back for my RN in the next term or so.

But if anyone is wanting to go to Bohecker Cincinnati I would recommend it. Just be very careful who your admin rep. is. There have been people who have had a lot of problems with certain reps. Loosing their shot records, other paperwork etc...

Good luck to you all.

I'm a student at Bohecker - Columbus in the RN program. I did not attend the LPN program there.

THANK YOU ALLLLLL for the insight on Bohecker. I visited Bohecker, took the HESI test--got GREAT scores! I even got a 100% on one of the sections! I was sooooo excited about enrolling...until I read the comments on this site & as a result, did my own research. Although Bohecker DOES currently have approval from the BON, it is only PROVISIONAL & there is indeed a chance that they MAY NOT get their full approval back. For me, that is too great of a chance to take; $21,405.00 is waaaaay too much money to spend on a program that may end up being worth "0". So again, thank you all for your input, you may have saved me lots of money, time & disappointment.

I'm glad you decided on not to go there. I went there last year, and am returning to Cincinnati State. As a returning student I haven't even been able to get an advisor to call me back. Some of my friends have already moved on to the RN and program and HATE it! They have been kicked out of clinical sites, they're in nursing homes for clinical's as a RN. Everything is crazy, they're lacking teachers, and may lose accreditation for good! They have compltely wiped out their financial aid officers and brought down people from Columbus. I decided after hearing all of this, I wasn't going back. On top of it, you can't transfer credits anywhere to get your BSN but Kettering, and they may have approval from an online school now. However, if they loose accrediation for good, I don't think credits transfer anywhere. I have to start ALL over at Cincinnati State because they won't take Boheckers credits since they're not accredited. Check out Cincinnati State, can't beat $80 a credit hour. You can also go at night and choose you're own schedule. They have a waiting list but I was told people drop off and it goes pretty fast. Also, if you're a LPN going to the RN you get top priority! Good luck!
