  1. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Ahh going nuts!! My mom mailed me a package via USPS yesterday and I got it today. I REALLY REALLY want my application from Tri-C!! I'm definitely going to call and ask them to re mail it tomorrow if...

  2. NP Salary vs. RN salary

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

    Probably the only reason I was considering NP over PA was the ability to work while getting your MSN where that is impossible to do in PA school. Guess I ought to rethink that

  3. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    When I asked them what the odds are of someone dropping out, they said very slim because most of the students aren't new students but those who failed out who are being replaced to try again. Everyone...

  4. NP Salary vs. RN salary

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

    I'm not sure about the latter, but a decent number of programs I have researched actually recommend you work part-time as a RN. Perhaps you should look at entering programs that are designed for...

  5. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I second that!! Although I went apartment searching in Parma and it looks to be an awful place to live. The Eastern campus would probably be better because you would be able to avoid rush hour...

  6. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I talked to the nursing department today and they said the reason the evening/weekend program filled up so fast (and people won't drop out) is because students that have failed out and need to be...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I have, but for Tri-C. I've wondered the same thing actually. I'm hoping you need a 75% average because I got a 90% average when I took it. I got a 100% on math, 97.4% on English Language each...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    You are the exact same as me, except I have exactly 3 quarters to do them in! I'm taking full time classes at Tri-C right now that won't end until mid May so I'm not going to start at CSCC taking...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm looking forward to my electives more than anything :) You also use the simulators in the elective NURS 189: This course is designed to introduce the student to the basic concepts of trauma...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I've been trying to figure out the sequence of clinicals at CSCC, but I haven't been able to figure all of them out. I did this by looking up the required textbooks for the courses :) First quarter:...

  11. Anyone get their degree from Akron Institute?

    foreverLaur replied to barleany78's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Oh - gotcha. I think you mean something like the following programs: http://my.clevelandclinic.org/nursing/students/associate_program.aspx...

  12. Anyone get their degree from Akron Institute?

    foreverLaur replied to barleany78's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Thanks for the help. It seems silly to discriminate ASN vs BSN when both passed an identical exam. I have a bachelors degree (non-nursing) and will have an ASN when I finish. I talked to a...

  13. Anyone get their degree from Akron Institute?

    foreverLaur replied to barleany78's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Do you know if they count nurse aid experience as experience? By the time I finish, I will have close to 4 years of nurse aide experience in a hospital based setting doing typical nurse aid duties...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    More power to ya! I have a degree in psychology and have done a lot of research in the area in undergrad but I don't think I could do

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    My dislike of nursing homes doesn't center around the age. I have an interest in trauma/EM and LTC is pretty much the exact opposite. In one area, you have people coming in who are truly sick and...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Wow really? All nursing students I have talked to were doing SC injections and passing PO meds by the end of their first clinical (Chamberlain, OSU, Tri-C, Kent). What do you do in the nursing home...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm not sure. I've gotten so many conflicting stories. I applied with her back in January of 2008 and her letter had a start date of March 2011. She did apply and get rejected twice to the online...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm just worried because I am applying in July to start March 2011 for the traditional program. If I apply in September for he March 2011 online program and don't get in, my seat in the traditional...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Well my undergrad bachelor degree GPA is a 2.3. My CSCC GPA is a 3.8, but my cumulative is still only a 2.7 because 35 credit hours at CSCC at almost straight As doesn't help when you are building on...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Would the people who have gained admission to the online program please share their stats? I'm interested to see if I have a fighting

  21. Where is the DNP at in terms of being required?

    foreverLaur posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I heard that the DNP was going to be required for all nurse practitioners by 2015. However, I don't know how factual that is. When my aunt was in nursing school, they said the exact same thing about...

  22. Kent State-main (Junior) in BSN Program seeking job

    foreverLaur replied to twinjeep97's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm not sure about that area, but I know the postings at hospitals here in Columbus are pretty up to date. There are sometimes openings that aren't posted yet, but I've only haerd about them because...

  23. Experienced nurse moving to Cleveland - what is average pay?

    foreverLaur replied to LDBRN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/bestcompanies/2009/snapshots/19.html I just saw it on the website (which I believe to be relatively accurate) and asked a few nurses what I work with what their...

  24. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Actually they are different. The accelerated program is 15 months - you go 4 straight semesters. You also have to have more prerequisites and have a bachelor's degree. The other programs are also 4...

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The prerequisites for Micro is " BIO-1410 Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals I; or BIO-2330 Anatomy and Physiology I; or BIO-1500 Principles of Biology I; or BIO-1050 Human Biology and...
