   amp83 replied to LoveMyBoston08's topic in Ohio Nursing

7. NIT in Cuyahoga Falls for LPN or RN?? or somewhere else??

   amp83 replied to ChangeHappens's topic in Ohio Nursing

   Well I can assure that the Rets program at NIT is not good at all. This place is a joke. The teachers tell you more about their family life than about the subject they are to be teaching and when...

    amp83 replied to KBoo's topic in Ohio Nursing

    At my school, you had to take the HESI to get into the program. Its not hard at all. It is very easy and if you have to take it before you graduate, there should be no reason you can't pass it. I have...
