  2. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I took biology, chemistry, microbiology, organic chemistry, physics, anatomy, biochemistry, etc. I never took physiology (OSU doesn't have a corresponding lab). So, I don't meet the prerequisites....

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

  6. Need help preparing for the Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

    foreverLaur replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Wow, schools make you take the A&P part of the A2 without requiring you to take the classes?! That's kinda crazy. I can't imagine having anything to do with those sections of the test without the...

  7. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    You'll be taking the Hesi A2 now. Tri-C has officially switched over. The NET is no more. I've heard the A2 math is very very basic. No algebra, no trig, no geometry and the A2 gives you a...

  8. Need help preparing for the Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

    foreverLaur replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I've heard good and bad about the official Evolve study guide. I ordered it and it is on the way so I'll have to let you know. Still, wouldn't hurt to have it because it is written by the same...

  10. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The only other thing I'm good at besides healthcare is academic advising. I LOVE it. Sadly, nobody will hire you without a masters degree in something education based because you teach that "welcome...

  11. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    foreverLaur replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    So if the DNP degree is designed for NPs who want to go into leadership, management, or run their own practice, why should it be forced upon those who have no desire to do any of

  12. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    A fair amount of PCA/tech jobs requires the completion of a med/surg rotation and I'm sure that is what this job is talking about. I have no idea why, especially if you already have experience. I...

  13. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    That means you will probably only be a part-time student so you should be fine working. Just make sure you have great time management skills and a great work ethic. Make sure you find a job that is...

  16. Anyone get their degree from Akron Institute?

    foreverLaur replied to barleany78's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Eh I'll be doing it 4 days a week!! The massive savings in tuition, the ability to start much sooner, and the much better reputation of the program was worth it

  17. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    foreverLaur replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Because nurses believe in nursing theory and not the raw science that you learn in medical school. Medicine and nursing are two very different approaches to the same end goal. And doctorate degree...

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

    You should be fine there. When you head East, you just want to make sure you don't get too close to the Whitehall area. That is the shady part of Columbus where a vast majority of the crime occurs....
