Planning to attend Hondros College OH

Published

Hello, I am planning to attend Hondros College for the Nursing Program. I will like to know the cost of the Program, the pass rate and how good the instructors are.I have read some reviews about the program but some of the reviews are a few years back. I am planning to enroll in the LPN Program then, ADN and consequently the Online BSN program. I am planning to start in January. Thank you

Can anyone share a sample of what the RN schedule is like?

It varies from term to term. I don't recall going anymore than 3 days a week. And btw to the person who posted the article, you do realize that it's from 2013??

It doesn't change the fact that Hondros does NOT have regional accreditation and their LPN and ADN programs are NOT nationally accredited for nursing. Only their BSN program is CCNE accredited.

Most MSN programs I looked into required both national and regional accreditation. You may be able to get by with just the BSN being CCNE accredited but that forces all students to at least attend Hondros through their BSN if they ever want to go anywhere.

True. I plan to attend the college's BSN program only because my employer is a partner with them and I get a decent tuition reimburstment. I have heard some other colleges within the state will take Hondros credits like OU and UC. I also heard Indiana Weslyn will too. I don't know how true it is, just basing it off what I have heard. I haven't heard anyone having trouble getting hired either. All my classmates have either secured an RN position with where they are now or moved on and were hired elsewhere. Hope you all don't see this as an argument, just stating what I have witnessed myself. ;)

I honestly have always assumed Honduras grads have a hard time getting hired due to the school's supposed reputation but I think thats changing. I belong to a Facebook nurse networking site in my area and have heard that ASN grads from Hondros are getting hired into hospitals and that their clinical are now in hospitals instead of nursing homes as before.I visited in 2013, ultimately decided to attend UC, and wasn't impressed. But it sounds as though they have really turned it around!

Yes, they really have. I never once did clinicals in a nursing home. I started the LPN to RN program in 2011 and attended until 2012 and stopped because my son was born and plus I had too much to deal with at the time. I restarted in 2014 and just finished up in June of this year. I went to Lifecare, the VA, Grandview, and Southview for my clincials. I precepted at both Southview and Highland District Hospital in Hillsboro. I wish they would change the peds clinicals location. They currently have them at Miami Valley CDC (at least for the Dayton campus) and I feel like I learned nothing. But I have several friends who work at KHN and at Springfield Regional. Crazy that Hondros grads can't get a hospital job rumor is still swirling after all these years. I just laugh cause I know it's not true.
