I will second that! Tri-C is extremely demanding and I had all pre-reqs/co-reqs done going in. I dropped my part-time job down to PRN status and actually for the Fall I am taking a leave from the nursing program so I can spend more time with my kid...

sorry....my sample question was very loosely paraphrased so I am sure no copyright infringement was committed. We don't get our tests back so none of our questions in this thread would be verbatim. For the new students and others struggling with the...

Yeah...online would be nice for those of us with previous degrees...foreverlaur...yes, my work as a nursing assistant bit me in the butt many times on exams...just study your book and pretend you know nothing, because surely you have seen that theory...

As for working fulltime while doing tri c ....good luck. I have a ba in english from OSU summa cum laude, a masters from kent and all A s in my pre reqs in tri c. I have never gotten a B in my life. With the ridiculous grading scale, the crazy que...

hillcrest....this is what I have heard.

My advice...if you are young enough....and don't already have another bachelor's degree...opt out of doing the actual nursing program at tri-c. Do all your pre-reqs for a BSN and then apply to CSU or KSU or Akron and go straight to the BSN. Akron C...

Scott -- no parma hospital for 1600 metro days students? I will most likely go for St. V then since it is close to metro lab...get the hour of practice in right after clinical. One of the girls in our lab this semester was at St. V and said it was...

the key to success is nclex questions and knowing how to rationalize the proper answer. there are very few points in the classes (which i believe they are going to adjust that in the fall) so it is very easy to fail the course (less than 75 percent ...

ScottE -- So tomorrow is the big day! Correct me if I am wrong...I think we have the same schedule...so that means tomorrow is just lecture and both our labs are on Friday...meaning no need to lug tote, etc and wear lab coat tomorrow. I have yet t...

I am sure by now all of you Clevelanders know that Huron School of Nursing is closing in May and they have made an aggreement to fold all those students into the Tri-C program. I feel badly for these students, but I wonder how this is really going ...

Well we are in luck -- my husband has two in his warehouse -- would you like to rent one for the semester? Too funny...did you notice that a few of the books will be out in new edition in December? I am waiting to see if the professors roll to the ...

Hey -- keep your head up and take any work you can find as an RN. My unit manager at the hospital where I work as an Aide (I am still in school) suggested that the hospital jobs are few are far between right now and new grads need to do home health,...

they will have the male uniform...it is a large store. The labcoat is unisex so you might luck out with that too, but since most women will be a small or an extra small it will most likely need to be ordered. I left them with the patches to sew on ...

Just returned from affordable uniforms and wanted to give all a heads up....they didnt have a lot of lab coats in stock...needed to order mine and it will take three weeks. Also, the name badge takes four weeks so don't wait until the last minute on...

Scott -- you'll be great...patients are just people and the easiest way to care for them is just to treat them as if they were your own family members. Some are nasty because they are so sick and feel horrible, others are sweet as can be and thank y...

my bad...all I saw was mosby and not jarvis -- did you order all the books that were required AND recommended? It seems like a lot of books doesn't it? I too, expect that there will be some drop outs. It does seem that there is plenty of opportunit...

just saw your post about the labs....we are in lab together, so I will look for you. Great minds think alike -- I thought how stupid to drive downtown for a single lecture. Hoping to get thursday lab test out.

Thanks Scott for the info on the books -- I too will be ordering from Amazon as I have done with all my pre-reqs. Did you get the Jarvis book? I don't see it one your list. My brother who is an electrophysiologist (the kind of cardiologist who dea...

Me too -- got everything I wanted -- Friday labs and Parma clinical...just didn't feel like driving too far in the winter When the weather is nicer in the Fall semester, I'll venture down to UH or the Clinic Looks like Southwest and Parma were in d...

Anyone have nursing hold on their record? I hope this is something that will not affect my registration tonite -- I turned in my NEONI sheet and all other documentation today so I thought I would be approved to register. I will give it a go tonite ...

Several women in my micro class at tri-c are in their first semester at Huron -- they told me the school is closing in January and that they will be given slots at the Eastern Campus for a day program. I wonder how that affects the Huron evening and...

I got the email about orientation and am starting to get my ducks in a row so to speak -- have all the medical stuff done as I work at Akron City Hospital..need to get the malpractice insurance and get my BLS class done. I just have heartsaver now a...

Hi all -- Looking for advice...I am slated to begin the nursing sequence in Spring. I have yet to finish microbiology and had planned to do so this Fall -- this is my only non-nursing course left. Since I already have a bachelors, I only have four ...

As far as I know, you can't even apply to Huron with out biochem and A and P 1 and 2. I applied there and was admitted for this Fall, but ultimately decided to stick with tri-c since I am starting the nursing core in the spring due to the opening of...

Thanks Scott -- I reviewed the micro offerings and found a class at east that is hybrid -- half web/half in person so that will cut back on childcare costs since it is an evening class as well....thanks for the advice and I'll see you in November
