  1. CSCC online track admissions

    foreverLaur replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I have to take the Hesi A2 which I'm super nervous about. I'm taking it on Wednesday for Tri-C. I have to take all the sections, but they only count the math, reading, grammar, and vocab. I'm...

  2. CSCC online track admissions

    foreverLaur replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Well the application period for the traditional is before the online. I would probably be accepted to the traditional program before the application period for the online program opened up, so how...

  3. CSCC online track admissions

    foreverLaur replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Can I apply to the traditional program in July and if I can't start soon enough also apply to the online track in the fall? Am I allowed to do

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

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

    Hey Scott. Let me know if you have any questions about moving here. I currently live in Columbus

  5. CSCC online track admissions

    foreverLaur replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio Nursing

    They require a 3.0 GPA. I screwed off hardcore my first 2.5 years of college because I had no clue what I wanted to do and I hated my coursework. My prerequisite GPA is a 4.0. My last 60 hours is a...

  6. LCCC - anyone attending?

    foreverLaur replied to jennylouwho's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Honestly, I just want to start the soonest. I would REALLY prefer to stay in Columbus but CSCC is my only option and they have a 2 year waitlist. Ultimately, I plan to move to SoCal or Austin, TX....

  7. LPN or RN

    foreverLaur replied to RN_Moe960's topic in LPN to RN

    My only experience in LTC is visiting my great-grandmother there for many years and doing my two day nurse aid clinical there. I know I couldn't do it. It can be rewarding work. The people there...

  8. Transition from RN to PA

    foreverLaur replied to mjcornnielies's topic in Ohio Nursing

    First off, it is Physician Assistant. A PA is not owned by their supervising physician. Secondly, RN-PA is one of the best routes you can take. The profession was founded on being a second medical...

  9. CSCC online track admissions

    foreverLaur replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Well Tri-C's program isn't really accelerated... they just let you go in the summer instead of taking summer's off so it is 4 back to back semesters. I'd still only be part-time cuz I have everything...

  10. CSCC online track admissions

    foreverLaur replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio Nursing

    That is true of the traditional program. It is first come first serve (hence the 1.5-2 year wait list). The online program is competitive. Once all applications are submitted for the online...

  11. CSCC online track admissions

    foreverLaur replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio Nursing

    If you aren't opposed to moving to Cleveland, I'd look at applying there too. You could do Tri-C's accelerated program which is only 15 months (versus the 27 months at CSCC). Their traditional and...

  12. How long did it take you to get into nursing school?

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

    It was a long road for me, but luckily I am young. I figured out mid-way through my junior year of college that I wanted to be a nurse. However, it would take way to long to switch my major to...

  13. CSCC online track admissions

    foreverLaur replied to lou_tango's topic in Ohio Nursing

    My best friend had ~3.4 cumulative GPA, a 4.0 CSCC GPA, a 4.0 prerequisite GPA, and over a 90% on her Hesi entrance exam and she was rejected two years straight and applied the minute the application...

  14. LPN or RN

    foreverLaur replied to RN_Moe960's topic in LPN to RN

    Yes, prerequisites tend to be a less for the LPN programs. However, quite a few LPN grads on this forum have had a terrible time finding jobs. Is LTC something you are interested in doing? If not,...

  15. possible to go from nothing to BSN online?

    foreverLaur replied to cdu22's topic in General Nursing

    And I still don't think there are any MSN programs that are entirely online - you still have to complete a minimum 500-600 clinical hours in a real hospital even if you arrange it yourself in your...

  16. LCCC - anyone attending?

    foreverLaur replied to jennylouwho's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I live in Columbus, OH and work at a hospital down here and I don't plan on moving until I have a start date somewhere. I need to pick a place and stick to it. I have 4 college transcripts and it...

  17. LCCC - anyone attending?

    foreverLaur replied to jennylouwho's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Yeah. I already have English Comp I, Soc, Psych, Human Growth & Dev Psych (and about 10 other psych classes haha). So maybe I ought to send them in now and have all my core/support classes done...

  18. LCCC - anyone attending?

    foreverLaur replied to jennylouwho's topic in Ohio Nursing

    So you need A&P I, A&P II, and Micro? I guess I could take that spring quarter at Columbus State and be done in June and able to apply in June. I already have Anatomy done, I'd just need...

  19. LCCC - anyone attending?

    foreverLaur replied to jennylouwho's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm eligible to apply now I think once I send in my transcripts since they don't appear to have any prerequisite courses to actually apply. Their website says the prerequisites are: Official high...

  20. Cleveland State vs Kent State Accelerated BSN

    foreverLaur replied to OSUgrad2010's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Depends on the time of day and the season. In good conditions, it is only 15 minutes to CSU from Lakewood but I've had it take over an hour in the winter during rush hour. When I have to be at class...

  21. Cleveland State vs Kent State Accelerated BSN

    foreverLaur replied to OSUgrad2010's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It is hard to live in Lakewood or somewhere on the West side when your school is on the East side... Regardless, KSU has a much better program than CSU and although Cleveland has its ups and downs,...

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

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Do you mind me asking what your GPA was and your entrance test score? My best friend was denied with a 3.5 and 4.0 prerequisite and a 90% on her entrance test two straight years so I decided not to...

  23. Starting NS w/ no prereqs = suicide?

    foreverLaur replied to Summers_Off's topic in General Students

    How do they get their applications through? The schools in my area won't even let you access the application to apply unless you meet all the prerequisites (courses, grades, and test

  24. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    foreverLaur replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I want to work in something fast paced and exciting. I'm thinking ER, Trauma, or Flight. Maybe ICU. I definitely could never work in LTC, Geriatrics, or Med/Surg. I don't think I could do psychiatry...

  25. Cleveland State vs Kent State Accelerated BSN

    foreverLaur replied to OSUgrad2010's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm currently living in downtown Columbus - I graduated OSU last March. I'm starting at Tri-C into their ADN program this fall largely to save money. It is only $5200 to become a RN there and then I...
