Hi All, I was wondering if anyone was currently attending or graduated from the Mount Carmel Second Degree program in Columbus, OH. If so how did you like it? I see from their website that the cost is almost 28K. Were you offered any type of loan rep...

Okay, I hope you all can provide some insight. I apologize in advance for the ramble. I am a second degree nursing student. Prior to that I spent 8 + years in the IT industry as an analyst, coder, and administrator for financial and retail companies...

Thanks for the feedback. I have mostly been applying to acute care facilities. I am hoping that something comes up once I get my license. I just need to wait it out and maybe do some temporary work. I would hate not to get in some clinical experience...

WooHoo!! I am in at Wright State Accelerated Beacon program in Dayton, OH! I start at the end of March! Congrats to all those accepted so far and best wishes to those still waiting!

I don't think that is correct. I would look into another community college and talk with their advisors. Taking a class or two for math shouldn't mean you have to complete a whole other degree first. Sounds fishy to me! Don't get discouraged. Best...

Well!! I got an interview invite today. So now I just need to work on selling it! lol!

I am a second career student as well, BSBA in MIS, and have worked the last 8 years in IT as a programmer, system admin, pm, ba, and whatever else they tell me to do:D. I am taking the risk of leaving a fairly stable, well paying job to do this, but...

The wait is killing me!!!! I am apply to the Wright State Accelerated program. They have until the end of Feb to notify us for a March 29 start date. I am so nervous. This is a huge life change for me and I am ready to get started! Good luck every...

Thanks for the info. Good Luck on your interview I am sure you will do great!

Hi , I can't offer any help. It has been 10 years since I did a panel interview and it was in a totally different area. I did have a question though. How did you get the interview for the OSU program? Did you just apply, go there personally,etc...

Hello , I am going to turn 30 this year and I am contemplating a career change into Health Care. Right now I work as a systems analyst for a great company. I have a bachelor's degree in Management Information Systems and I have worked in the IT f...

Hi, I haven't attended the program, but I have researched it. You can apply to the program once you have taken your GRE. You can't enroll in the actual nursing portion though until you have completed pre-reqs. There are quite a few people on her...

I am so ready. I have a lot left, but I am almost finished with A&P!!

Congrats to you! How exciting!!! I hope to go to UC some day (long time away:nuke:) Would you mind sharing your stats and interview experience?

Good Luck. I am in the same spot as you. I am so frustrated at my current job and Friday morning I was so ready to quit, but I held my tongue of course. I have to get my money together and sell or rent my house before I can go back to school. So ...

Hi, Cincinnati is a family town. You will find nice malls, fairly clean neighborhoods for a pretty decent cost of living. If you are looking for the nightlife, this probably isn't the city. However there are still many things to do. From what I have ...

Great thanks for the information .

Bump.

What is the market like for NP practice in Ohio? Cincinnati, Dayton, or Columbus areas?

I am interested in applying for the on line program. I currently live in the Cincinnati area and I having finding difficulty in finding a class to meet the NURC102 requirement that meets in the evening or on the weekend. Does anyone know of any other...

hi , the site discoveringnursing.com under the how tab, has a pretty good listing of lpn, and rn programs in every state. they have some good info as well. thanks

Hi Everyone, I am thinking about applying to some of the accelerated programs in Ohio(UC Accelerated MSN, Wright State Beacon, or Mt. St. Joseph MN) . I am concerned about financing the programs though. Currently still have 14k from undergrad, but r...

Everyone thanks for the info. CrufflerJJ how do you like the pace of the program. How many people are in the program? MegsD - How long is the orientation before the quarter starts? Thanks

Thanks for the info Meghan. How was the interview process? Did you finish all of your prereqs before applying? Also as far as the MVH stipend, will they only cover about 2/3's the cost or will they cover 100% for the longer service agreement?
