NvrGivNUp, Hello. Well, I am in the evening program at the Live Oaks campus. Your schedule does vary by term, and if you don't have to take the Bio courses, you will spend a LOT less time in class/labs than your classmates who do. I did not have to t...

Hi everyone, I am planning to attend Bohecker College - Cincinnati in December 2009. However, I keep reading post after post on this site indicating that Bohecker has lost their accreditation. I am confused by this. Bohecker offers RETS College's Nur...

People are going to tell you things, and you cannot listen to all of it. I live in Ohio near the Kentucky state line (Milford), and I am getting my LPN at Cincinnati State/Great Oaks. I've had people tell me the same thing. I currently make around $1...

Hello, I receive food stamps, medicaid, and daycare assistance for my children, myself, and my husband. My husband lost his job and his unemployment ran out. He has applied everywhere but has had no luck finding a job. So, he's currently working towa...

There's a girl in my LPN program who had a baby towards the end of our second term and was just fine. It was her second pregnancy though. She went into labor on a Tuesday, missed Wednesday and Thursday night lectures, and returned for clinicals on Mo...

I am in my third term of a 16-month evening LPN program, and I work 24 hours a week (two 12-hour weekend shifts) as a nurse's aide. I also have two young children at home and carry a 4.0 GPA. Nearly all of us in my class work at least part-time, a fe...

I work 24 hours a week (two 12-hour weekend shifts) as a nurse's aide in a nursing home while going to school for my LPN. In addition, I have a five-year old and four-year old at home. My husband is also a full-time student. Most of us in my LPN prog...

Hello, I have two small children at home, and I work 24 hours a week as an aide in a nursing home/assisted living facility (12 hours on 3rd shift Friday and Saturday) while working toward my LPN. Some people will tell you not to work during the progr...

I am in a 16-month LPN program, and I am a mother of two children--5 and 4 years old. I am not single; I am married, but my husband is also a full-time student and is gone a lot. I am currently maintaining a 4.0 GPA, and on top of school and family l...

I could be wrong, but I do not believe that Galen College in Cincinnati has an LPN program. I checked them out quite a while ago, and they only have straight RN program and LPN-RN program. It could have changed in the time it's been since I looked at...

Hello, In response to RubyJean, I posted quite a bit of info already. If you have any specific questions, please let me know, and I'd be happy to answer them. PinkySam, there is no waitlist for the LPN program. Several of my classmates are working on...

I started an LPN program in November 2009 and am finishing up my second term. It's a 16-month evening program. I work part-time (around 20 hours/week) and also have two small children at home. Nearly all of my classmates work, have children, or both....

You are most welcome! I highly recommend the program. I think I'm getting a great education, especially for the price. You are welcome to ask me anything you need to. I know how hard it is to try and get information from the admissions office at Cin...

Hi Ebeyan 29, I started the Cincy State/Great Oaks LPN program in November 2009 at the Live Oaks campus. To answer your first question, yes, you can take the Biology, Communications, Health Informatics, Lifespan Psychology, any GENERAL education cour...

I was accepted to Christ. I just got my acceptance letter today, but I don't think I'm going to attend. I've already started an LPN program at Cincinnati State/Great Oaks School of Practical Nursing. I think I'm going to go ahead and finish that firs...

I think it is difficult to leave your children, no matter what age they are. Mine are 5 and 4 (5 year old is in kindergarten this year), but I have worked/gone to school/both since my youngest was just a few months old. My husband and I have tried to...

Hello, I am entering my second term of a LPN program, and I work part-time as a Home Health Aide. I also have two young children at home (5 & 4 years old) and a husband. Right now my husband is unemployed, but he is also a college student, just l...

Hello, I'm older than 19, but I have two children (a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old), plus I work 20 hours a week as a home health aide. So far, I have straight "A's." Several students in my class have three or four children and they are making it. You ...

Well, you could talk to an advisor at Cincy State and ask them about it. The reason behind the STNA requirement is that they want to make sure you have knowledge of bed baths, transfers, making beds, etc. Unlike a lot of other programs, the Cincy Sta...

You are required to be a STATE TESTED Nurse Aide for both the LPN and RN programs at Cincy State. Unfortunately, your work experience will not count. It's not the class they are interested in; it's your STNA card which shows that you passed the state...

Hello, I am currently a student at Cincy State. I transferred there from Indiana University, and nearly all of my credits transferred. If you've taken those courses recently, I would say it's a good chance they'll transfer. I have no experience with ...

Hello, I will be beginning Cincinnati State's LPN program at Live Oaks (the Milford branch of Great Oaks) next Tuesday, November 17th. At this point in time, there is NOT a wait for the LPN program. In fact, they had trouble FILLING UP the LPN classe...

Hi Brie, I could not find much info on Rio's website either. I ended up calling them just to get an idea. They told me that you take all courseswork online and then drive to clinicals one day a week. It sounds good. The total cost of the program with...

I know nothing about the quality of the instructors or the clinicals, since I did not actually attend. However, I just did not have a good feeling about the school in general. That is why I decided to attend elsewhere. Ultimately, it's you (your cous...
