grechi2009

I will be working part time around 30 hours a week if I can.

I got my CNA from Cincinnati State back in the summer of 2009. I was already working at Childrens as a Room Service attendant in the food service department then I just transfered departments. All you need is your CNA or yea if you are in Nursing you need to have completed a clinical.

I am a PCA, childrens offers tuition reimbursment so I am hoping this will help me find employment and tuition.

thanks, yea I am a little sad I would have been done if I would have went when I first got in but I had no way to pay it and they took out the program where you work for Christ Hospital after graduation and they will pay for your tuition. When are you applying? He said that there are over 100 seats for fall available. They have changed admissions a lot. Before you had a deadline to apply only once a year and you would find out in March. They get a lot of applications.

I plan on starting in May because I still need some general education completed. I am actually meeting with Bradley the admissions reps in a few days to see what I need. I plan on going to UC later to do the RN-BSN. Christ graduates have many options to get their Bachelors.

hello, I am applying to christ as well, I have gotten in 2 years in a row and could not attend bc they didnt have financial aid and now they do I will attend!!! this was my only reason for not going and I would still start clinicals faster than at good sam. Good sam is a great college, I work at Childrens and many of the nurses earned their degrees there. Many also went to Christ college. I shadowed a nurse in the NICU at childrens who went to The Christ college. there are many post about both schools. I dont think you will regret your decision weather you choose christ or good sam. They are very well respected. I do believe Good Sam is more pricy than The Christ College though. Is this your first time in college?

hello, some of these schools have a 2-3 year waiting list, Cincinnati State, Good sam (waiting list less than a year), Raymond Walters College, these ones dont have a waiting list Christ College of Nursing, Bohecker. There also Bachelor's Program at University of Cincinnati, Xavier, Mount SAint Joe and Miami Univerisity. Whoever told you Hondros, Cincinnati State, and Galen are not accredited lied, those are great nursing programs they have high N-Clex rates. Hondros has no waiting list I forgot to put it in earlier. Brown Mackie...I didnt know they had RN program only a LPN. you can sit to take boards but will not be able to transfer credits to another institution.

hello, just wanted to know how hard is the program now that you are in it half way and if some people have dropped out also if you choose you clinical sites and if is feasible to work. I dont know if you remember but I plan on applying this spring for next fall. I have a pre nursing gpa of a 3.64 and I have A and P 3 to take and so far I have a 88% we just took our first exam. I am shooting for a 90% but if I get a B my gpa will drop to a 3.58. The people at the College of nursing said they admitted 176 total for this fall. 120 at main with the lowest gpa a 3.338 and at Clermont with a GPA of 3.2. I need to get into the main campus bc that is where I live. They said the gpa cut off has been around a 3.4 in the past 2 years and this year was the same so I am sure if it remains the same I will get in even if I get a B in my A and P 3 class. I am also supposed to start Raymond Walters ADN clinicals that fall so if I get into both I ll have to choose the cheapest and most flexible route. thanks.

hi thanks for replying, are you at UC main campus or Clermont? also what year were admitted into the program? around how many students are admitted per year? do they offer any scholarships? so far my pre nursing gpa is around 3.57 so I dont know if that is high enough....take care.

hi thanks for replying. I been at cchmc since jan of last year, and I work in the room service taking food to patients so I have probably walked past you millions of times ha, and can you tell me if you were able to work the first year? especially the 1st semester. I am only taking 9 credit hours (just the nursing) since I already got most of the gen eds from being at UC...do you know who teaches fundamentals of nursing 1? she is the aunt of this cook I work wit and I wanted to try to get in ther class, anyways what do you do at children's and do you plan on working as a rn there once u become one? have a good night.

hello, there is a mandatory day we have to go in july i believe, and they will fit us for uniforms, take our pic for our id and to make sure we have our physical and shots done. If I am not mistaking I think thats when we will also be able to register, but then again I am not sure... but I am hoping thats when it is because usually registration is done well ahead of first day of classes. This will all be in the information packet they should be sending out next week. I live in the clifton area, right by the university hospital on the street called martin luther king. its so close to the school, like I said previously I was a current UC student so there are a lot of student housing around, to me is not a bad area at all I been here for 3 years and I feel secure. You should visit some places and check out the vibe, I like the gaslight district over there by ludlow by good sam hospital is a nice historic quiet area. I mean there are things that happen here and there but as long as you stay away from certain neighborhoods like corryville and avondale you should find that clifton is a nice area. maybe you should check out some websites like gaslightproperties.com or uptownrents.com (more pricey but a lot of selections) there are also a lot of apts right next to the christ hospital. I like living in clifton because its close to the major hospitals and I work at childrens hospital so everything is near me. I have also been here awhile so I am accustomed to it I guess but I would recommend it to anyone. You just got to know where to look. If not maybe newport kentucky, I have heard is a nice area. I am goin to turn in my money today, I almost forgot. anywyas, hopefully I get to meet you soon and all the other students.. good luck.

hey how are you? yea i like the facts that they have lockers too, heard that we will be needing them bc the books are pretty heavy, I was there on monday talking to cathy about some things, she said once she knows who all is attending the fall, they willl start mailing packets on orientation info as well as what are the next required steps. I guess they mailing it out friday since thats when the money is due.

hi there, yea i went last friday i have visited the campus numerous times is a small institution and its right next to the christ hospital they have a tunel that connects you from the hospital to the college when you have to go to clinicals you take that route, they have a lot of new technology and the building is only 10 years old but the school has been in place since the 1800's and they have some of the old memobiblia left and it looks very very nice, the staff is really courteous and you can tell you will get a lot of attention, everytime i go visit it reminds of why i need to go there lol let me know how the visit goes bye.

yea well will see soon but thats good you also have been accepted at good sam if all fails i will stay at raymond walters and remain in their program until my clinical space is open in the mean time i will try to knock out my chemistries for the the bachelors in nursing i only have 2 left and will have everything done except nursing of course

i talked to my advisor at uc and she said even though christ does not require chemistry you would have to take it to do a rn to bsn and they have have programs with other schools to do the rn to bsn so the only difference btwn christ and good sam is that good sam has chemistry in their curriculm there is a waitilng list and it is more expensive. so either way both schools are good for the rn-to bsn route. this is what i would like to do as well so i have done research.
