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...

I would be cautious about attending Miami Jacobs. I did not attend, but I looked at them and toured the school before attending my current school. First of all, they are on "provisional...

I am a CNA who works for a senior homecare agency. I was assigned as a "sitter" last week to a resident in a long term care facility. I ran into the same issues as you. The CNAs employed by the...

Hello, Everyone has their own opinion, and this is only MINE. I realize some people may have had a different experience with Cincinnati State College. I personally found the school to be horribly...

Hello, I took the STNA class through Cincinnati State Technical College in May of this year. There was no waiting list at that time. My husband is a student at Cincinnati State, and they have classes...

Oh I also forgot to mention that you don't really get a lot of "medical" experience working for them. It's mostly light housekeeping, meal preparation, companionship, etc. I am a State Tested Nurse...

Hello, Sorry to chime in a little late on your post. I work for Home Instead Senior Care in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. So far I like it. There's no gaurantee for hours, though, and I was told at my...

I am a STNA. I passed the class in May and passed my state test in June. I have applied to every hospital in the Cincinnati area, including Children's. I was hoping they could hire me as an STNA and...

I am sorry to chime in to this message kinda late, but I'm curious if the LPN program is part-time and if you go Monday-Thursday the first two quarters, too, or only when clinicals
Heavenly4505 replied to NurseHopefulInOH's topic in Ohio Nursing
Well, Hondros, Bohecker, RETS all have LPN to RN programs. Bohecker's is a little over a year (I think 15 months if you do the day program, 18 months if you do the night program). I'm not sure about...

Thank you so much for that reply! That kind of changes everything for me. I'm reluctant now. I would not graduate until 3/2011 because I'm doing the part-time evening program. I'm not at all sure...

I never said the records disappeared because the doctor died. I said that the doctor is dead and I have no way of getting ahold of anyone in the office to get my records I called them when I was 22...

Yes, that LPN exit exam you are talking about is covered in my HESI study guide. In addition to the four parts we were talking about (Grammar, Reading, Math, Vocabulary), that one also covers Biology,...

Hi Valerie McCoy, I found the HESI test to be pretty simple. I took it at Bohecker for the RETS Nursing program that they offer there. If you live in the Cincinnati area, there is no reason to drive...
Heavenly4505 replied to animal1993's topic in Ohio Nursing
Oh, and also I was going to say that these schools like Bohecker and Hondros are very expensive. I do not plan on getting my RN through Bohecker. I am only getting my LPN there and then I am planning...

Hi there! I debated between a few schools for my LPN, and Hondros was one of them. However, I had a really hard time getting ahold of Althea (I think that was her name) in admissions. It seemed like...

Hi, I don't know what your interests are, but I work in Home Health as an aide (STNA), and they are offering me tuition reimbursement to get my LPN. Since you are already going to be an LPN, a lot of...

Sorry to chime in a little late on this post, but... I checked out Tri State Med Academy's LPN program in Cincinnati. It looked like a good school, and I was really hyped up on attending UNTIL the...

Hi olivial, thanks for getting back to me again. I know you are a day student, but I'm just curious, so the clinicals for evening students are in the evening during the week? Not on Saturday? I'm...
Heavenly4505 replied to Heavenly4505's topic in Ohio Nursing
Thanks olivial! Which Bohecker do you attend, Cincinnati or Ravenna? Are you days or evenings? I'm just wondering about the scheduling for clinicals. I can see on the BON website that RETS has...

Buckdropper, I'm with you on this! My admissions rep did the same thing. I clearly told her that I needed to know for my job. I work in Home Health as an aide and where I work, they like to keep us...

I would love to find another school but I MUST work. There is absolutely no option for me to quit my job for nursing school. I chose Bohecker because they offer an evening program that is 15 months....
