Calling all Northern KY nurses and students!

[Lindsay S]

I am wanting to start nursing school (ADN) soon, but have so many questions. I would really appreciate some help. I live in Northern KY (Florence) and my biggest problem is choosing a school. All of them say they are the best, but which one really is? I also heard that in 2012 only BSN's will be hired. Is there any truth to that? Does anyone know about Beckfield or Cincinnati State? I know that Beckfield isn't NLN certified but they told me that the only down fall to that was I couldn't work for the VA. Is that a big deal. Also I am am and older student (29) and am worried about memorizing the info. PLEASE HELP! Thanks so much!

UPDATE ON BECKFIELD COLLEGE:

2010 NCLEX-RN pass rate is 90%

2010 NCLEX-PN pass rate is 95%

Numbers do not lie when it comes to the quality of the LPN and RN Programs at Beckfield!

I have some questions on Hondros- thinking about starting there for my LPN and I also live in Florence. Were you able to find a decent Job after going there? Also it sounds like you like the program.
