  1. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Agreed. They have a committee that meets to review background checks and they can't give you any answers until they have the background check and the committee meets. I can't even get anyone to talk...

  2. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Yes, but the charges haven't shown up as dropped yet. I have received notice they will be dismissed, but it hasn't happened yet. I was given the option to pay extra to expedite the whole process,...

  3. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I agree with you - rolling with the punches and believing it all happens for a reason makes life a lot less stressful!! I did sign a 1 year lease in Columbus on Saturday, so I'm definitely leaning...

  4. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm engaged to a lawyer who graduated from OSU in 2007 - this is the date after a lot of string pulling and loophole finding. They say a lot of people have to wait up to a year. I'm only waiting 4...

  5. States Who Have Banned HESI

    foreverLaur replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    One school in my area I know of requires those exams as the final exam in each class and if you don't pass with at least a 75% you don't pass the class. If you fail one of those exams twice, you are...

  6. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It is being taken off my record. It already shows as dismissed. I'm just essentially "waiting in line" for it to be expunged. I basically have to appear in court and directly state my request to the...

  7. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I have my acceptance letter for January, but I never received anything about running the background check early. I got charged with a 3rd degree felony when my eBay/PayPal accounts got hacked into....

  8. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    You should look into taking HTECH 1110/1610 (medical ethics and pharmacology) as well as DIET 1200 (nutrition) or their medical terminology II at Tri-C. They are all offered online and you can even...

  10. Need help deciding which nursing school to attend!

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

    Well I'm not even eligible to apply yet. I haven't taken microbiology, biochem, a year of organic chem, etc. I've taken random bits and pieces of those classes here and there and most were at quarter...

  11. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    So I just signed a 1 year lease in Columbus, OH today so it looks like no Tri-C for me! If for some reason I can't get into CSCC for Fall 2011 start date, I'll still be subleasing and moving to...

  12. Need help deciding which nursing school to attend!

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

    I've thought about just going straight for PA school, but without much health care experience my application won't be strong and I have a ways to go to get my GPA up to where I want it to be. If PA...

  13. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    foreverLaur replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Why not DO? They are much more into the view of the "whole body" view. An old roommate of mine went to DO school because she also had similar views on treating the person, not the

  14. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    foreverLaur replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think the DNP is a great way to become a more advanced nurse. It would be great for anyone who wants to go into administration, especially at a larger scale. Anyone who wants to go into academia....

  15. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    foreverLaur replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    But at that point, you are going to school 4-5 years post BSN so why not just go to medical

  16. Need help deciding which nursing school to attend!

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

    Month to month is 1.5 times my monthly rent which is $718 but they are jacking it up $895 so it would be $1342.50 a month to do month by month. School #1 is about 45 mins from my parents and school #2...

  17. Need help deciding which nursing school to attend!

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

    School #1 and School #2 are about 2hr15 mins apart. So if I attended School #1 I would have to pay out of pocket or through loans as I would have to quit my job and relocate and hope to find another...

  18. Need help deciding which nursing school to attend!

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

    They are community colleges, both about $80/credit hour or $2,000 a year. School #2 will be free as my job in the area offers $3,000 a year of tuition reimbursement, but has a longer waiting list. I...

  19. Bohecker Accreditation

    foreverLaur replied to Heavenly4505's topic in Ohio Nursing

    There has to be a cheaper option!! My ADN will be only $6,000 from a very reputable long-time accredited school and I am able to attend in the evenings and keep my full-time job! The program is 24...

  21. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    foreverLaur replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Maybe that's something that needs to be discussed. Why are most nurses even against

  22. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    foreverLaur replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    When a NP graduates and becomes licensed, he or she can start working right away making pretty good money. Physicians spend 3-8 years working 80 hours a week for $40k a year. What NP route makes you...

  23. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    foreverLaur replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    While I respect nursing and the field, I respect physicians WAY more than NPs. A physician puts their entire life on hold to attend medical school for 4 years while the NP can go to school online. A...

  24. Questions about obtaining an Ohio Hospital PCA position?

    foreverLaur replied to tyhmar6's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I wouldn't say impossible. I got a PSA job after I finished NURC 101 and I didn't have any health care experience and I didn't know anyone. I had just volunteered for a few months at
