awesome! Go you!! I can't wait to start there, I sure hope they are more organized than CSCC was. I'm taking Reasoning Skills and Sociology at CSCC this quarter online to transfer there next quarter and hopefully start their transition nursing deg...

I have been told a few times that they are only on the apps received May 11th. It's hard because those people that were "poor" because of their last classes had to save up before being able to register to take the test, they are all suffering throug...

I don't have personal experience for transfer credit from CSCC to COTC yet, but my understanding is that those classes will show as transfer credit after you successfully finish your first quarter at COTC. I'm not sure, like I had said, but when I h...

I like CSCC's PN program, I wish that they offered a quick transition to their ADN RN program but they have two separate departments...their LPN is in Workforce Development and obviously the RN program is part of the Nursing department...seems kind o...

currently attending LPN program at CSCC; will graduate in June; looking for a program "close-ish" to Columbus for LPN to RN since CSCC doesn't really offer that...

I've heard LPN's are Lets Pretend Nurses and RN's are Real Nurses. It takes a lot for something to bother me, but that distinction always has. I am going to school to be an LPN and will be done by Dec. of 09 and then moving on to RN and then BSN al...

I went to my first class last night. Everyone was so nice, just like I had thought they would be from reading from our online discussion board. It's just our Intro to PN...but it was pretty interesting for the first day. We went over the PN studen...

I start my first PN course tonight!!

Childrens in Columbus, Ohio is Magnet Status (has been for a while) and has been hiring LPN's for home-care for a long time, they just started hiring them again for in-hospital jobs like the NICU and phasing out the PCA's.

Ohio does at Children's in Columbus, in the NICU. They are phasing out PCA's in the NICU only so that they can have nurses with the special care babies.

I'm from South Columbus and in school to be an LPN. I work at Children's and they are starting to hire LPN's instead of PCA's in the NICU (which is great, because all the RN positions here in the NICU ask for 2 years of NICU/PICU experience). In the...

wright.784 ~ are you applying for the traditional program or online? I think online apps are only open in Oct/Nov. so it's closed for this Spring and Fall classes of online nursing students, the next one will probably be for Spring and Fall of '09 an...

:balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons: congratulations! :balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons: now, go out and celebrate how kick-a** you are!!:ch...

Suanna, I see that you are from Northeast Ohio, is that near Cleveland? My sister went to school up there to be an LPN because of the cheaper cost, I think. In Columbus, most of the programs, unless you go to something like Columbus Public for your L...

you will do great!! Don't worry so much!!! Good luck and keep us posted as to how you did!! I'm only in my 2nd quarter (out of 7) of LPN school, I wll be just as nervous or more when I'm done and schedule my NCLEX Test too!!! Just calm down and g...

It does sound like you burned yourself out. I'm sure at some point you start saying "well it could be this or that and I could see how it's this but I don't know" and second guessing yourself. Don't study THAT long. You will do great this time aro...

"There are so many replys to your post you prob don't need my two cents but here goes: If you want to be an RN- be one. LPN isn't a stepping stone. Many of the college classes you take may not transfer esp if there is a lag between when you take them...

I get the same responses from people...telling me that LPN is Let's pretend Nurse and RN is Real Nurse. I'm sick of it also, and know that I am doing this for my family and my future. I agree with all who have said that it is all of us who make up...

Rainscape, it's good to know that the results are that fast in Ohio. That's where I am and I won't be taking the test for another year (I'm only in my second quarter of a 7 quarter LPN program) but I am so glad to hear that you received your results...

I have heard that it's a good school. They just opened up a campus in Columbus, Oh to do the "hybrid" thing where you go online but also at a campus. I have a friend who is in the program. Aside from the outrageous price for tuition, she's loving ...
