  1. Anyone get their degree from Akron Institute?

    foreverLaur replied to barleany78's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Definitely!! Worst case scenario, you can always look at applying elsewhere. Schools are just so hard to get into right now. I wish people would hurry up and realize that there is not a nursing...

  2. Anyone get their degree from Akron Institute?

    foreverLaur replied to barleany78's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Yes, long term care. Keep in mind, nursing jobs are very very hard to find right now for new grads. Even students graduating from top schools (Akron, Kent, Case, etc) are finding it hard to find...

  3. What's the deal with Columbus State admission?

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I wish I would have done that. It may have made the classes a bit challenging if they were rushed like that. I thought both NURC 101/102 were SO easy. I don't think I cracked open either textbook...

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

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I just called and spoke directly with -----. She said that is not true at all. They have already filled up about half of March 2011 and the people that applied earlier this month area applying for...

  5. Anyone get their degree from Akron Institute?

    foreverLaur replied to barleany78's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I have only known one girl to graduate and she was unable to find a hospital position but did land a LTC position and is enjoying

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

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I don't care about being in class when it changes. I don't care if I have to spent a few extra months in the program because of it. I have wanted to work in trauma since I was a little kid and I'm so...

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

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Ugh I hope they have a March 2011 class. I cannot afford to wait until the switch to semesters is complete. Unlike you, I don't have another option. I can't get anymore Stafford loans, I'd have to...

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

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Wow. That is news to me. I have personally spoken with people that got acceptance letters to start March 2011 in the mail from the January 2010 application and my NURC 102 professor (**************)...

  9. What's the deal with Columbus State admission?

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    That's handy - I wish they did that when I needed to take them!! You'll need a new workbook for NURC 102

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

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    A lot of other factors to consider. A BSN is 4 years versus 2 years for the ADN and that is assuming you get accepted right away. The CSCC waitlist is not 2 years. Most people that applied January...

  11. Chamberlain Online LPN to RN Bridge Program

    foreverLaur replied to catrat's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Avoid Chamberlain. Not anywhere near worth the $$. There are cheaper

  12. Full time employment while attending Hondros nursing program????

    foreverLaur replied to anthonyvc33's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The CC I'm at gives you once chance to pass or you are out. Be glad you have

  13. Accelerated BSN, how much did it cost you

    foreverLaur replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it depends on how many ABSN prerequisites you have done. Could be a long road if you had to start from scratch with all those!! My ADN program only requires nurse aide, psychology, and math...

  14. What's the deal with Columbus State admission?

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    How are you taking NURC 101 & 102 in the fall? NURC 101 is a prerequisite to NURC 102... I thought the Hesi A2 was very easy. My degree is in psychology. When I took the Hesi A2, I had taken...

  15. Accelerated BSN, how much did it cost you

    foreverLaur replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At the hospitals around here, nobody asks and there is probably an equal number of both. There shouldn't be a difference in ADN or BSN for bedside nursing because both degrees lead to passing the...

  16. Accelerated BSN, how much did it cost you

    foreverLaur replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't know you could get into a more management level job without doing bedside nursing first! What types of jobs require a BSN straight in? I've looked at my local hospitals and they hire new grad...

  17. Accelerated BSN, how much did it cost you

    foreverLaur replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most hospitals in my area view ADN+non-nursing bachelors to = BSN (or at least in my case since I did so much health care related research in undergrad and actually had a lot of BSN students working...

  18. Accelerated BSN, how much did it cost you

    foreverLaur replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like I'm lucky to have a great community college program in town. I used to work for a large hospital chain as a PSA and we hired more students from that CC than we did from the large...

  19. Accelerated BSN, how much did it cost you

    foreverLaur replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, how did you do BSN+MSN in 2 years? Every program I have seen is 3 years! What school? I want in :) On a separate note, to everyone that did the ABSN - what makes it work going into even more debt...

  20. Accelerated BSN, how much did it cost you

    foreverLaur replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yea I didn't get it either. Private schools cost the same regardless of your residency status and state schools are cheaper for

  21. Accelerated BSN, how much did it cost you

    foreverLaur replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not all hospitals require that. The hospital attached to the university doesn't require any sort of commitment. You get the benefit while employed and if you quit, you lose the benefit but don't have...

  22. Accelerated BSN, how much did it cost you

    foreverLaur replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why would anyone pay $130,000 for schooling (plus interest) when you could become a RN for around $6,000 and then have your employer pay for most of the RN-BSN and MSN/DNP coursework? The hospital...

  23. Accelerated BSN, how much did it cost you

    foreverLaur replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Whatever the tuition is at that school times the number of credit hours it takes to complete. Probably somewhere between $300 and $700 a credit hour I would imagine. I opted out of doing an...

  24. What's the deal with Columbus State admission?

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I am waiting. I applied July 1 at 9:00:04am so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get one of the few seats left in the March 2011 starting class as I really don't want to wait until September 2011...

  25. What is your splurge?

    foreverLaur replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    I used to enjoy buyin a new toy to upgrade my computer with. I adopted a dog in April 20 so now, I am so excited when I can afford to get my dog a new fancy treat or toy!!
