It might be too far for you, but the cheapest I found (and the one I'm going to) is at Traditions at Bath Road. It's only $200 and you have a great chance of being offered a position there. All the...

Thanks! I had applied to Kent State's BSN program, but just found out I didn't get accepted, so I'm just going to concentrate on working as an STNA for now and apply to schools for my Associate...

Well, I have no idea about the LPN school, but I can offer advice about going back to school. I graduated from college in 2001, but decided I wanted to go into nursing. I took a prereq' course for...

I just applied for their Fall 09 Accelerated BSN program, so I don't have much info for you. My advisor told me it's pretty intense and doesn't recommend working the first semester so you can get an...

The more I think about it, I think I'll wait too. I guess I never realized how many places may offer training for free, (or discounted like Traditions). So since Bath Manor has the class every...

I know...decisions...decisions is right. I think I might call Altercare tomorrow and see if they're even going to call me in for an interview, and if not, then I might just go to Bath Manor and sign...

I called Altercare. You have to go in and fill out an application, then they call you to interview, and then if they accept you, you get trained for free with them. So I filled out an app. Now I'm...

Thanks, Ohiocleveland for the info! I liked the idea of going to Bath Manor because it's about a mile from my house. But I'll look into the link you posted to.

I emailed Altercare too, but haven't heard back. =/ I graduated High School in '97 too, then went to college, got a degree I couldn't use (Economics), then got a mortuary science degree a few years...

The July class is from the 9th to the 23rd, no weekends though. The classes are from 8am to 4pm. I was thinking of taking it later, but I just want to get it over with. Where are you taking your...

i meant the physical and tb tests, sorry for the confusion =) I'm not sure about crocs, I might call them and find out b/c I'd rather wear those! I'll let you know if I find out anything. And I love...
barleany78 replied to barleany78's topic in Ohio Nursing
That'd be fun =) I don't think it's too late at all. I plan on going tomorrow or Friday to pay. Then I'll deal with all the tests and stuff later. I think you have to buy scrubs/white shoes...

Are you trying to find out info on applying? I went and got an info packet from them awhile back. You have to fill out the registration and pay $450 by June 12 (if after June 12, it's %00) The...

Thanks, I guess I was worrying for nothing. Though I do see a "speech" class that's required...sigh. One of these days I wish I can get over fearing presentations. I've already applied to Kent...

Haha, no, thank you for the quick response! When you say "micro" do you mean microbiology? I took 2 micro courses with labs at mortuary school...maybe I can test/transfer the credit and not have to...
