  6. Moving to Cleveland Area and looking @ ADN programs

    foreverLaur replied to BigM0's topic in Ohio Nursing

  8. cscc nursing wait list?

    foreverLaur replied to victoriaelisse's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I agree. You definitely want to get your non-nursing coursework done before you start or you won't do anything for two years but study. It is super tough and demanding even with just the nursing...

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

  13. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I applied to CSCC in July 2010 and start March 2011. That isn't that much of a wait and they have less prerequistes than most. Like I said previously, they can be done in one full busy 20 credit...

  14. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

  15. Chamberlain or Mt Carmel?

    foreverLaur replied to pegan64's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Mt Carmel. Hands down. Chamberlain is for profit, has poor clinical sites (very very few in the hospital) and you often to have drive 2+ hours to clinical sites (a friend had to travel to two...

    foreverLaur replied to chuckster's topic in General Nursing

  20. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    You can complete the prerequisites in one quarter. What other school offers that!? NURC 101/102 can be taken in the same quarter, CHEM 113, and PSY 100. Would be a rough quarter, but doable....

  21. Nursing Shortage?

    foreverLaur replied to mboulis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    foreverLaur replied to RossayRN's topic in General Nursing
