  1. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The school receives the score results at the end of every month so anyone who took it in January had their scores received by the school by February 1 and they started sorting through them and mailing...

  2. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I took it at Columbus State and it was a pretty intense class, but I did well and I really enjoyed it. We covered a lot of both organic chemistry and biological chemistry. My uncle, a chemical...

  3. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Class averages aside, you do not have to be very bright to get a 75% in math (when all you really need to know is how to use a calculator) and the English language (especially if it is your native)....

  4. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Got my application to apply to Tri-C in the mail today. Also noticed today that the evening/weekend program is full for Fall 2010 I wish the program would have waited another year to fill up 6...

  5. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Yup, mine said the same thing. SCARY! Although a lot of those students may be older adults who haven't had science in 10+ years. Although for Tri-C, they have to have Intro to Biological Chem.......

  6. Columbus State Jan 06, 2010 applicants

    foreverLaur replied to PaperPencil's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I've actually had my bachelor's degree for almost a year now. I'm taking full-time classes because it was cheaper than purchasing independent insurance. I'm taking pharmacology, healthcare ethics,...

  7. Columbus State Jan 06, 2010 applicants

    foreverLaur replied to PaperPencil's topic in Ohio Nursing

    A few other questions - I've heard that you can switch from traditional to online after your first quarter from a few students who have done this, although CSCC denies that being true. Anyone know...

  8. Columbus State Jan 06, 2010 applicants

    foreverLaur replied to PaperPencil's topic in Ohio Nursing

    We were roommate from 2005-2009. I was with her when she applied. We sat there and refreshed over and over again so we could get in the very second the application period opened up. I got her...

  9. Columbus State Jan 06, 2010 applicants

    foreverLaur replied to PaperPencil's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Well, what I meant is that you don't typically get in for the quarter you apply to start. My best friend applied in January 2008 for the traditional program and she heard back that she was accepted...

  10. Columbus State Jan 06, 2010 applicants

    foreverLaur replied to PaperPencil's topic in Ohio Nursing

    You can't get rejected to the traditional track assuming you meet the minimum requirements (which you do if you were able to apply). Everyone gets accepted and they simply place you in the next...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Post Graduate Students

    For a number of reasons. For one, I am not entirely sure if I will be at a point in my life where PA school is a feasible option when I am ready to go back. It is a huge time commitment - you...

  12. Columbus State Jan 06, 2010 applicants

    foreverLaur replied to PaperPencil's topic in Ohio Nursing

    When you guys took the A2 - what scores did CSCC count towards the 75% of being admitted? I wouldn't imagine they would count the anatomy and physiology sections as those aren't required as...

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

    foreverLaur replied to LDBRN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Have you thought about Columbus? The living conditions are much nicer for about the same cost and the pay is much better. The average RN at OhioHealth is $84,000. They are also a top 20 company to...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I disagree. While experience as a RN is valuable, it is not training and practice as an advanced practice nurse. Residency is years of experience that is 100% correlated to a doctors work as an...

  15. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I agree - I'm going to look into taking it as part of the nursing curriculum or in the summer's off since by the time I start in August I'll have only nursing coursework left. I already have all the...

  16. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Looks like your experience was the exact same as mine (see the post right before yours). I did the same thing you did (no studying) and ended up with a 97.4% including a 100% in the math! There is...

  17. Nursing Schools in Cincinnati/ N Kentucky

    foreverLaur posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    There is a 50% chance that my long-time boyfriend will my transferred to Cincinnati for work meaning I cannot attend school in Cleveland. Anyone know of any affordable ADN schools in the Cincinnati...

  18. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The Hesi A2 was pretty simple I thought. I had to take all the sections (reading comprehension, math, vocabulary, grammar, A&P, biology, and chemistry). I needed at least a 75% composite...

  19. Need help preparing for the Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

    foreverLaur replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The Hesi A2 was pretty simple I thought. I had to take all the sections (reading comprehension, math, vocabulary, grammar, A&P, biology, and chemistry). I needed at least a 75% composite score...

  20. Starting NS w/ no prereqs = suicide?

    foreverLaur replied to Summers_Off's topic in General Students

    Unless you are doing an accelerated 2nd degree BSN, it is very feasible to work. At the hospital I work at, almost every single tech is a full time nursing student with a full time job at the...

  21. CSCC online track admissions

    foreverLaur replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Thanks for the info!! Can you give me some additional info on the Mexico mission? How much did it actually cost? What all expenses did you pay for? Where did you stay? Was lodging up to you as well?...

  22. Need help preparing for the Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

    foreverLaur replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Me too!!! I have to take the chemistry, biology, A&P sections on Wednesday but they do not count for a grade. In July, I have to take them for a grade for a different nursing program so I'm...

  23. Need help preparing for the Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

    foreverLaur replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have the study guide and none of those sections are bad. The reading is just reading a paragraph and answering a few simple questions to test your understanding of the reading. They are medically...

  24. CSCC online track admissions

    foreverLaur replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio Nursing

    CSCC Hesi A2 Info: http://www.cscc.edu/nursing/PDF/Admission%20Assessment%20Info.pdf Looks like they require the A&P

  25. CSCC online track admissions

    foreverLaur replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I agree it would be unfair, but I doubt the school really cares. They seem like they are in the business for themselves, not the students. That's cool that they let you switch over. Hopefully I can...
