    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm just impatient because I have until February 28 to let my apartment know if I am renewing my lease or not. If I get into Tri-C for January 2011, I'm not renewing and moving to Cleveland. If I...

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    My application was received on February 11 according to the USPS website. As of February 20, I haven't received anything in the mail yet. I wish Tri-C didn't enjoy tormenting me by making me wait -...

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

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

  5. Sinclair CC Wait List

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

    I still don't see how being certified will help me. I'm yet to find a hospital that requires you to be certified to work in that position. The only place that requires you to be certified is LTC and...

  6. Sinclair CC Wait List

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

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

    foreverLaur replied to NurseHopefulInOH's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Both Cleveland Clinic and UH will help you pay for school in exchange for a 2 year commitment - I think they give you $5,000 for every 1 year of commitment up to a $10,000 maximum. Both hospitals will...

  8. Sinclair CC Wait List

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

    What do you do in those 2 years? I don't have any more classes I could possibly take (I have almost 200 semester hours) and my job isn't paying the bills. I've been applying to better jobs for almost...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I've never heard of anywhere (school or employer) that lets you use a background check from another source. They want you to get your very own just for them. I can't find information for CSCC but...

    foreverLaur replied to Chanelle's topic in Ohio Nursing

  12. Akron/Canton Nursing Programs

    foreverLaur replied to R.Smith's topic in Ohio Nursing

  13. WIA Grants for nursing

    foreverLaur replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Do you know of people with bachelor's degrees qualify? I know I don't qualify for pell grants because of that status so I'm looking for other routes to help pay for my education. I'm wondering if I...

    foreverLaur replied to neko11111's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Where did you hear that? As an Ohio Health employee, I've not heard that and the nurses on my floor haven't either. I know we have partnerships with Capital University, Columbus State, and Drexel...

  15. NIT in Cuyahoga Falls for LPN or RN?? or somewhere else??

    foreverLaur replied to ChangeHappens's topic in Ohio Nursing

    How do you get it done that fast? My ADN program is not accelerated and it is only part-time 4 semesters, but I haven't started so I cannot speak to the intensity. It is Tri-C. I just can't imagine...

  18. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    foreverLaur replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I have a BA in Psychology and will have an ADN. I don't think that will make me less of a nurse. I've taken more than my fair share of research and statistics courses. I also focused my degree in...

  19. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    foreverLaur replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The vast majority of PA programs are master's degrees and in my state, a master's is required. However, the lack of a master's doesn't make it a worse off program. Is a bachelors degree prepared RN a...

    foreverLaur replied to LDBRN's topic in Ohio Nursing
