  1. Low GPA

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

    I'm in your same boat. I had a low GPA and my bachelor's degree is in psychology too. My lower grades were from my first two years were I bounced around schools/majors and had no clue what I wanted...

  2. Which is best for CRNA?

    foreverLaur replied to talknw's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Why waste the time and money on something that is ultimately not going to affect your career as a CRNA? Why not focus on getting great ICU experience and becoming a

  3. New to nursing with no nursing background!

    foreverLaur replied to sasha0820's topic in General Nursing

    Besides the money/job security, why else do you want to go into nursing?? It is a very hard and demanding field and you truly have to love the work to make it. Also, the nursing shortage no longer...

  4. Need help deciding which nursing school to attend!

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

    I do wonder how many students they accept each application period and how many students didn't get in for August. I was under the impression they would just automatically admit them for the March 2011...

  5. Need help deciding which nursing school to attend!

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

    I haven't applied yet to School #2. The next application date is in July 2010 to start March 2011 or August 2011. The school lets everyone in who meets the criteria and I do so I'm not concerned...

    foreverLaur replied to PaperPencil's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Congrats!! You'll be starting so soon!! Hopefully now CSCC will know if there are many seats left in the March 2011 class

  7. Questions about obtaining an Ohio Hospital PCA position?

    foreverLaur replied to tyhmar6's topic in Ohio Nursing

    How do you know which recruiter to contact at OSUMC? Every time I apply to a position, I follow up a few business days later when a call to HR and they basically just tell me to be patient and that...

  8. Questions about obtaining an Ohio Hospital PCA position?

    foreverLaur replied to tyhmar6's topic in Ohio Nursing

    OhioHealth starts out at $9.98/hr with a $1.55 shift differential for weekends and nights ($3.10 differential if you work nights and weekends). Children's Hospital doesn't accept anyone without...

  9. Need help preparing for the Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

    foreverLaur replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The math and English language sections are very very easy and the study guide does a good job of preparing you. The study guide also does a good job of preparing you for the science sections provided...

  10. Cleveland Clinic, University Hospital or Metro for new grads?

    foreverLaur replied to andie2517's topic in Ohio Nursing

    My program (ADN) allows you to do your senior leadership in the ER at a Level I Trauma Center. I definitely plan to do this as well as electives in trauma, NICU, and ICU. Hopefully that'll help my...

  11. Question about working same floor as family member

    foreverLaur replied to rrmitch2000's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Easier said than done. I had to search for over 8 months to land a nurse aide type job in a hospital. In the area the OP is searching in, they are even harder than where I was looking. I would talk...

  12. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    My thoughts exactly. The part that Tri-C requires a 75% or higher on is a joke!! My neighbor has a daughter in 5th grade and she scored a 95% on the practice test. I asked her to take it out of...

  13. Question about working same floor as family member

    foreverLaur replied to rrmitch2000's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I don't see what the big deal is. I've worked on the same floors as my friends and I even got offered a job back at home working the same unit at the same time as my mother and my mother was the one...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Conveniently, I earned a BA in Psychology in March of

  15. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    :) You raise a good point. I'm just so anxious to start! I spent all 4 years of undergrad bouncing around majors and not having a clue and I finally know and I really want to get started! I'm from...

  16. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The study guide did mention roman numerals, like write 1976 in roman numerals or what is XXIV in numerals? I only had one question on the actual test. The basic numbers are pretty easy to remember...

  17. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The math part is REALLY easy. Plus, you have a calculator to use the entire time which makes it rather idiot proof :) It is just basic math, fractions, roman numerals, and household conversions....

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    No, I never took NURC 102. I was originally told I could test out of it because my boss and two nursing coworkers verified that I had a high level of knowledge of every skill taught in that class,...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Just an FYI - an e-mail from the head of the nursing dept at CSCC "We are still processing the January 10 applicants for Au 10. We have far more qualified applicants than we have space for in fall....

  20. Cleveland Clinic, University Hospital or Metro for new grads?

    foreverLaur replied to andie2517's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Are they looking at BSN specifically or for bachelor's degree prepared nurses? My bachelor's degree in psychology afforded me the ability to do substantial health care related research, including...

  21. Cleveland Clinic, University Hospital or Metro for new grads?

    foreverLaur replied to andie2517's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It is almost unheard of to get into an ICU as a new grad without doing an internship first. You should broaden your options and honestly take whatever full-time RN job you can get! You can always get...

  22. Are You Satisfied with Your Career Choice?

    foreverLaur replied to Zachman's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Why don't you work on getting your BSN first? Once you go through nursing school and spend a few years practicing as a nurse, you'll get a much better grasp on which areas are in demand and which...

  23. 40yr old guy needs advice on STNA

    foreverLaur replied to Grumpy69's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Akron Institute and Tri-C don't have wait

  24. 40yr old guy needs advice on STNA

    foreverLaur replied to Grumpy69's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Yes, they do. I actually prefer the french toast though - they put cinnamon in the batter :) The crepes are amazing as well. If you haven't, check out the dinner menu. I've been trying a lot lately...

  25. Who's starting (or hoping to start) this fall?

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

    The poster is just assuming based on estimated course completion and when previous start dates have filled up. He/She won't be starting prerequisites until
