  2. LPN schools in Cleveland area/NE Ohio?

    foreverLaur replied to filumena's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm starting there in a year. I do have some people from high school that attend there and while they weren't friends, I have been able to get some information out of them as well as talking to the...

  3. Columbus State Online Program

    foreverLaur replied to Megan060's topic in Ohio Nursing

    HA I know the feeling. I graduated with my bachelors degree in June and I can't find a decent job. I had a great GPA and great work experiences/internships. I've had my resume and interviewing...

  4. Columbus State Online Program

    foreverLaur replied to Megan060's topic in Ohio Nursing

    They made me verify my degree even though it did show up on my transcript. You can still get loans. You just have to submit an appeal form every year. I've heard it isn't hard to get approved if...

  5. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Are there any current Tri-C RN students who would be willing to let me PM them with a billion and a half questions? I have so many and I don't know any current students to bombard :) It would be much...

  6. evening weekend LPN or RN program- no prereq's?

    foreverLaur replied to Equinox_93's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The evening/weekend program is held at the Eastern Campus, which is on the East side of Cleveland. It is in Highland Hills, OH. You can take the prerequisite and support courses at any Tri-C campus....

  7. Columbus State Online Program

    foreverLaur replied to Megan060's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It is very frustrating. I was pretty confident I would get in, but after my friend got rejected for the 2nd year in a row (the one with the 4.0 at CSCC, 3.4 from her bachelors, and 3+ years patient...

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

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

    Please keep us updated on the position!! How much experience do they want as a PCT? I did it for 8 months and just quit. I started in med/surg and switched to float and I really did feel like I quit...

  9. LPN schools in Cleveland area/NE Ohio?

    foreverLaur replied to filumena's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Why not just go straight to get your ADN and be a RN? LPN is 1 year and ADN is 2 years and Tri-C does not have a waitlist. For the one extra year, I think the increase in salary and the increase in...

  10. OHIO Nurses what part of Ohio are you from and what kind of nurse are you/will you be

    foreverLaur replied to GrnHonu99's topic in Ohio Nursing

  11. NP Salary vs. RN salary

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

    http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/bestcompanies/2009/snapshots/19.html "Most common job (hourly): Staff Registered Nurse $84,096" I was surprised as well and took a survey of...

  12. BSN to MSN without RN experience?

    foreverLaur replied to al_e135's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The majority of PAs do have significant health care experience prior to starting PA school. The profession was founded on being a 2nd health care career. Sadly, the focus is becoming more and more...

  13. NP Salary vs. RN salary

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

    I'm in Central Ohio and the average RN salary at my hospital is $84,000. I can't imagine at that salary that the NP salary increase would be worth the time and money invested in furthering your...

  14. What allows one more independence? NP or CNS?

    foreverLaur replied to allsmiles2008's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My aunt is an acute care CNS in Southern California. She runs a cardiac

  15. No nursing station with COWS?

    foreverLaur replied to cargalrn's topic in General Nursing

    From a tech point of view (I work night shift), I would hate that. We just redid our floor and all our patient rooms have bedside computers. I use them when I go in to do vitals, but when I have to...

  16. Anyone get their degree from Akron Institute?

    foreverLaur replied to barleany78's topic in Ohio Nursing

    So why not go to Tri-C? They don't have a waiting list and are placing for Fall 2010. Not

  17. Anyone get their degree from Akron Institute?

    foreverLaur replied to barleany78's topic in Ohio Nursing

    My friend just graduated and seems to like it, but I haven't talked to her much about the details. What I don't get is why would you attend a 5 semester program that is over $400 a credit hour when...

  18. college where nursing school/clinicals are offered at a later time?

    foreverLaur replied to IsabellaRose's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Most BSN programs are traditional programs. Most community colleges offer online or evening/weekend programs. I know Tri-C

  19. Columbus State Online Program

    foreverLaur replied to Megan060's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Keep in mind that while the traditional program is first-come first-serve, they place you into the next open class, which may be far down the road. My friend who I mentioned above applied to the...

  20. Need help preparing for the Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

    foreverLaur replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Which study guide would you recommend? I know you can't bring a calculator, but do they provide one? Where can you find online practice

  21. Cincinnati State Technical College-- Has anyone ever attended?

    foreverLaur replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio Nursing

    So many programs have so many different requirements. I know Columbus State requires you to take the nurse aid training course plus a patient care tech training course and your first clinical is...

  22. Cincinnati State Technical College-- Has anyone ever attended?

    foreverLaur replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Ahh never seen a program require that. The test just seems like a silly waste of $100 for someone who took the class, plus an additional class that taught phlebotomy, EKGs, foleys, sterile technique,...

    foreverLaur replied to potato boy's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Keep applying and don't give up. I've heard at OSU you need to call HR frequently to follow-up. It took me 8 months to just get a call back for a tech position and I had previous experience....

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

    How did your interview go? Did you find out any of the information? I've heard the Cleveland Clinic is a horrible place to work from a lot of the travel nurses I've worked with, but I find that hard...
