This is my very first post, so please let me introduce myself. I am a non-traditional pre-nursing student, a mother of three small boys and an employee of Ohio State University. Over the past two years I've been knocking out any pre-reqs and GECs that I can to qualify me for the Autumn 09 nursing program. I've applied and am awaiting response, however.....my husband and I (last minute, for sure!) have decided that it would probably be in our family's best interest for me to attend a technical college, obtain my associate's and then go back for the RN to BSN once I'm working. I am looking for information on how well COTC and/or Marion Tech prepares their students for the boards. Is this information out there anywhere? Like stats on what percentage of the student pass, or something of that sort. Unfortunately, I think I missed the application deadline for Marion Tech (waiting on a call back - can't find it on the web anywhere), but COTC brings in a class of 50 every quarter and I can still apply for the 09 summer quarter. If you have any personal information about either of these schools, especially COTC, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
