Is there a great influx in applicants for student nurses in Ohio?

Published

Hello Ohio nurses and student nurses. I was born there in Columbus, and have family there still. I now live in Metro Detroit and am applying to nursing school. I have all of my pre req's and most of my co req's done. I was curious if there were a large amount of applicants trying to get in nursing schools in Ohio? There are just thousands of applicants here in Michigan. I think partly because we have been hit so bad by the poor economy here and so very many people are out of work here. I read on other states that some nursing schools have just as many applicants as here in Michigan. Some do not. I was wondering how things were in Ohio. I could move there if I found a great school to get in to for my nursing training. I have over 50 college credits now, and feel I am so close to finishing. Does anyone know any thing about the Toledo/Bowling Green areas and the Columbus/Chillicothe areas? These cities are where my family live. I am not a traditional student, I am almost 41 years old with a husband and kids, but would relocate if I found a really good program in Ohio. By the way has Ohio been hit as hard as Michigan with the job situation? There is no work here in Michigan unless you have a high degree and many years in experience in some white collar job. My husband is a welder and also has done mostly factory work. Those jobs are gone here in Michigan. A lot of our friends are moving out of state and you would not believe all the houses up for sale and in foreclosure. I was just wondering if Ohio has been hit like that also. Well thanks for reading, and hope you have some good news about the nursing school situation.

Where is that located? I looked on Mapquest and it looked a short distance from Charleston, W.VA.? What is in that area? It looks like it is out in the boondocks.
