I can relate to the chewing off your tongue after sitting in a cube in front of a screen for 8 hours a day. When I used to work in IT I used to wake up every morning wondering how many more days till...
I also have a bachelors in Computer information systems/computer science, I did it for 4.5 years and absolutely hated it. The money was good but it was the most boring, unrewarding job sitting in a...
I started taking my pre-reqs and I am 39. I thought I was too old to go back but there seems to be a lot of older students in my chemistry class. I don't think it matters, just do what you want to...

I have considered Mt. Carmel's accelerated program but I have a 4 year old son and don't know what I would do about childcare. Childcare runs at least $600 a month and if I can't work I won't be able...

I would love to attend Chamberlain college of nursing because of the non waiting list but I don't find $7100 a trimester very affordable. I already have a bachelors degree from DeVry and I want to be...

I thought Columbus State wouldn't give you grants if you have a bachelors degree but you can still get stafford loans, subsidized and unsubsidized. I hope I can get a loan because I can't afford...
I'm currently taking Chemistry and Biology at the same time and I find Chemistry to be the easier of the 2. I just hope I can handle both of them, there are a lot of terms to

Have you tried Mt. Carmel hospital? They have some staff RN positions listed on their job website and the positions don't mention anything about experience. They just say you need a nursing degree...
I'm new here. I am starting to take my pre-reqs for the Columbus State ADN online program spring quarter. I am scheduled to take the Nurses aide training class and was wondering how hard it is to...

Thank you jacqui2010, I will go check out the website. Are you working as a PCA right now, and if you are, how do you like it? I am just curious because I have never worked in the medical field...
I don't think you need to be certified to work in a hospital, at least the hospitals around here you don't. I guess it depends on where you are located. In this city the hospitals have PCA or PSA...

Thank you diannab1. I do have a question, did you apply through the website? I have heard on this board that it is hard to get on at OhioHealth through the

I am curious about this also because I am debating whether to do this versus the online Columbus State ADN. I would love to be through school in 13 months but I am scared I would be overwhelmed with...
I would love to hear some feedback about this too. I would love to do an accelerated program but I am scared it would be too difficult with a 4 year old, a husband and a mortgage. My other option is...
I know how you feel. I have a 4 year old, a husband and a house. It is so hard. I wish I could take the accelerated nursing program at a hospital affiliated nursing college but I will probably have...

If you can, try to get a job as a PCA at one of the hospitals in Columbus. I think most have tuition assistance. I know it sucks to work while going to school but I am considering it. I already...
