  1. BSN/ASN confusion!!

    vicki429 replied to mggjo's topic in General Nursing

    Diploma schools have not been phased out as I am in one now. It combines a Diploma in nursing with an Associates degree in science if you choose. I already have a BA, so I'm just in the Diploma...

  2. Huron Road School of Nursing...

    vicki429 replied to Mommaofallgirls's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It's not really an interview. It's more of a informational session. If your grades are fine, you have nothing to worry about. All they ask is to write a statement of why you want to be a nurse. They...

  3. Huron Road School of Nursing...

    vicki429 replied to Mommaofallgirls's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The teas test is taken after you are in the program already. They are test-running the exam to see if they'll use it in the future. As of now you just go in and take it for fun. I never even saw my...

  4. Huron Road School of Nursing...

    vicki429 replied to Mommaofallgirls's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm there now and it is challenging, but very doable if you stay on top of your assignments. I would not say the communication is worse than any other university I've attended. I'm actually really...

  5. What to do while I wait 2 years to get into the Nursing program?

    vicki429 replied to RN_waitlister's topic in General Nursing

    In Cleveland, I applied 3 months before the program started and they still had MANY seats open. It's a Diploma program. I already have a degree in something else, so I'm pretty much just taking...

  6. Nursing Student who needs some help!!!!

    vicki429 replied to hlhohs21's topic in Ob/Gyn

  7. What nursing jobs are available to one with no experience?

    vicki429 replied to Lala27poodles's topic in General Nursing

    I have no experience either and I'm starting nursing school next week. Part of me hopes that nursing school will be enough of a experience because I have a family as well and don't think I can squeeze...

  8. I Finally Did it...I Wrote to Oprah!

    vicki429 replied to EmilyLucille523's topic in General Nursing

    If it does get on Oprah, can someone post it on youtube bc I don't watch television unnecessarily...or own a TV for that matter.

  9. Are there nursing jobs or not?

    vicki429 replied to Lala27poodles's topic in General Nursing

    What was it like when it was a good time for nursing grads? Was everyone getting their dream jobs left and right? Was everyone lined up with a job before they graduated? Just wondering what a decent...

  10. Looking down upon LTC nurses?

    vicki429 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm starting nursing school in a few weeks, so I'm still new to all of this. I read a thread where someone mentioned that nurses in long term care are looked down upon. What does that mean? I'm...

    vicki429 replied to dollsdc2rn's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Random question: I'm taking microbiology with Jared LeMaster this fall....I'm taking it concurrently with nursing classes at Huron NS. Has anyone had him? What do you think of him...? I'm super...

  13. Looking down upon LTC nurses?

    vicki429 replied to vicki429's topic in General Nursing

    So is it easier to find a job at a LTC facility? Would that be a good way to start and then enter the hospital environment with experience? Are LTC nurses looked down by hospitals as

  14. Job market prefers BSN , turns away ADN

    vicki429 replied to aromarn's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Okay, that makes me feel slightly better....I'll get whatever job I can get and then slowly work towards a BSN because I do eventually want a MSN. It's just impractical for me to spend another 3 years...

  15. Looking down upon LTC nurses?

    vicki429 replied to vicki429's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I'm worried about....I'm starting a Diploma program in a few weeks (I already have a degree in something else) and this site is making me worried that I'm making a big big mistake by not...

    vicki429 replied to aromarn's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You guys are making me worried because I'm just starting a Diploma/ADN program in a few weeks (I already have a degree in something else). I hope I'm not making a mistake....if this is already...

  17. Huron Road School of Nursing...

    vicki429 replied to Mommaofallgirls's topic in Ohio Nursing

    BubbkyRN2be - There are quite a few things you have to do, but it's not as big of a deal as I thought it would be. I had to get a physical/tb test/drug screen (all done in one shot). Criminal...

    vicki429 replied to Mommaofallgirls's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm also starting Huron in a few weeks, but I'll be in the day program! Good luck!! I also still have to take micro, so I'm pretty nervous about the
