  1. 40yr old guy needs advice on STNA

    foreverLaur replied to Grumpy69's topic in Ohio Nursing

    P.S. if you are just looking for quick/easy money, just become a server. I work at Bob Evans, which is like the lowest paying server job out there, and I still make $17-$18 per hour and there are...

  2. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    NP - good luck :) Your worst case scenario of starting 3 months later than your ideal start isn't all that bad! I wish I had that

  3. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Get your application in to Tri-C for a summer start. Look into math/english placement tests. Look at the course schedule ideas I told you

  4. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The prerequisites can be taken in 1 semester. They are only 13 credit hours. What is your math background? Any transfer math credits? AP exams? ACT math score? Assuming you have an okay math...

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

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

    I start January 2011. I was supposed to start Fall 2010, but my program filled up about 6 months faster than it ever has so I got bumped to the next class

  6. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The Fall 2010 class filled up about 8 months before the program started. So I would plan on having your application complete and submitted (including the Hesi A2) by January of 2011. If you can do...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I don't work as a PCA anymore. My job basically forced me to quit when they heard I was going back to school because they don't hire any student nurses. They only hire those who are able to work a...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Ha it's ok. I do the same thing when I respond in my cell phone or iPod. I do have everything completed except for nursing classes and 2 other classes which I'll have plenty of time to finish before...

  9. Questions about obtaining an Ohio Hospital PCA position?

    foreverLaur replied to tyhmar6's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I would love it if you told me when you get accepted and what your start date is. Depending on who I talk to, some people say that CSCC has a 1-2 year wait list and other people say when you apply in...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Has anyone who applied to the traditional program in January received notice yet? It seems to be 50/50 as to whether or not CSCC has a wait list so I'm anxious to find out if the people who applied in...

  11. Relocating to Cleveland from Columbus...Advice?

    foreverLaur replied to LizBSN2010's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm probably going to Tri-C. Despite having a bachelor's degree, I need to have a full-time job to survive through going back to school and I can't do that while doing a 2nd degree BSN program....

  12. NP Salary vs. RN salary

    foreverLaur replied to Health-Nut's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I didn't notice it at all in the two major hospital systems I worked at. The RNs had great respect and really liked the NPs that came around the floors. Both my RN and nurse aide coworkers...

  13. 40yr old guy needs advice on STNA

    foreverLaur replied to Grumpy69's topic in Ohio Nursing

    In Columbus, they start at $10/hr plus shift differential for those with no prior

  14. University of Cincinnati's Accelerated nursing program

    foreverLaur replied to nursegirl513's topic in Ohio Nursing

    keep in mind the prerequisites are quite lengthy if you haven't started yet. they will take a minimum of 4 quarters, which is 1 year if you go in the summer too. you have to take 3 quarters of a&p...

  15. STNA in Columbus, Ohio

    foreverLaur replied to davidssister's topic in Ohio Nursing

    CSCC has a good reputation. They are the biggest and most well known program. It is a 10 week, 5 credit hour course. Your clinicals are done at a very well-known and respected LTC facility. That...

  16. Questions about obtaining an Ohio Hospital PCA position?

    foreverLaur replied to tyhmar6's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Mt Carmel & OhioHealth do hire without any experience. OSU technically does, but they are next to impossible to have any luck with. I've applied for almost 2 years there with employee referrals...

  17. Relocating to Cleveland from Columbus...Advice?

    foreverLaur replied to LizBSN2010's topic in Ohio Nursing

    When are you moving? I'm moving to Cleveland from Columbus for nursing school (2nd degree) and don't know anyone in the area. Also - do all RNs wear white at

  18. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Congrats!! Was that your #1 choice? I received my letter today for acceptance into the day program for january 2011. I wanted to do evening/weekend program, but I didn't want to wait another 8 months...

  19. Chamberlain (any info)

    foreverLaur replied to starmickey03's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The online program at CSCC is identical to the traditional program with the exception that the online program waives all general education (whether or not you have credit for them) and requires a...

  20. Chamberlain (any info)

    foreverLaur replied to starmickey03's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Yes, she is in the ADN program and also graduating in June. All she's talked about for 2 months straight is getting to move back home to Minnesota for the summer! I attempted to go to Chamberlain...

  21. Chamberlain (any info)

    foreverLaur replied to starmickey03's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Also some students are now having to do the OB/GYN clinical in southern Ohio. The ones at Riverside are getting a great experience while the one stuck in southern Ohio have yet to see anything...

  22. Loan Repayment... does this exist anymore??

    foreverLaur replied to NurseHopefulInOH's topic in Ohio Nursing

    University

  23. Sinclair CC Wait List

    foreverLaur replied to kaye-b's topic in Ohio Nursing

    That's just ridiculous. How do more well-known schools such as Columbus State and Tri-C avoid having wait lists? I applied to Tri-C this month and was accepted for January 2011 and if I had applied...

  24. Help!... OSUMC RN Internship/Residency Graduates

    foreverLaur replied to **All Heart RN**'s topic in Ohio Nursing

    Me too. I will have an ADN when I graduate and am worried about landing a great job, especially in a specialty area. However, I do have a BA as well, sondo you think that will help me land a job that...

  25. Evolve HESI Book Should I or Shouldn't I?

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

    No offense, but I can't imagine your post warrants much credibility. You have 3 years experience as a RN and nursing school is at least 2 years which means the version of the Hesi A2 study guide you...
