I haven't heard anything about this program (bad or good), but I have heard of it. The only program I know anything about down in Cincy is at UC since a friend of mine is going to be going there. http://www.nursing.uc.edu/

Its a GREAT program. Fast paced and personal since the class is fairly small. My last news letter from the school stated that they had close to 300 apps for 160 (or pretty close) openings. So if you truelly are wanting in there ya better get your info turned in as it seems the class will fill up fast.

PM me if you like.

Hi fellow Ohioans! Actually, I've lived in Chicago now for 3 years, but I hate it and miss home so I'm moving back this summer. Anyway, my question is has anyone heard of the above mentioned school? Has anyone been? If so has it prepared you for real life, and the N-CLEX? The desision to become an RN or LPN has been fairly recent for me as I have worked in journalism and studied it in school for many years. I, like others, have a very compassionate spirit, and REALLY want to help those in need. I just got sick of the shallowness of the media industry and wanted to do fulfilling work. I'm trying to get work in Illinois at the moment as a CNA so I can get my feet wet, but I just wanted to get some opinions on this school. It's a 2 year diploma program, but you still take the nclex. Any other good schools for this in cincy? Any suggestions would be much appriciated!!!! Thanks, louisepug:)

HI all,

Christ is a great program, they have very good financial incentives as well. I do know that the classes fill up very fast!! I am attending Mount St. JOe's MN program, graduate August, 2006!

Christ was one of the nursing colleges I applied to (and was accepted though opted for a different school). They have a very good program, very personable, very nice staff. Also they have this great financial aid thing where if you sign on to work for the Health Alliance (of which Christ and most cincinnati hospitals are a part of) for two years after graduation they pay for your tuition in full.

I am currently a student at Good Samaritan College of Nursing and Health Sciences. The school is a lot like Christ-directly linked to the hospital. The difference is Good Sam is actually an associate's degree program. We are fully accredited so any credit you get there can be transfer if you want to further you education. The staff and students are the best. Everyone there is focused on sucess. To fail you have to really not apply yourself.

Excellent School And Hospital.

I just got accepted for this fall at Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences. It's now a 2-year degree program, not diploma, with a few more courses to take as a result. My husband has worked for the Health Alliance for 20 years, so I know a little background about Christ College. Now they require you to work 3 years at the Health Alliance if you take the tuition reimbursement agreement, because the cost of the program went up when they added more courses.

I don't know how it used to be in years past, but the nursing program is not directly linked to the Christ Hospital any longer...it's a separate entity. Christ is planning on pulling out of the Health Alliance, and it's the Health Alliance that offers the tuition reibursement program, so I assume Christ will not even be an option to work at for those three years while my loan is forgiven. It has to be a Health Alliance entity.

I'm really excited to be going. Everything I have heard from past students has been wonderful!
