    StudentGrace replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Try anyway, you never know. It's hard to give up $14k, but I don't know if I will have another chance at RN school ever again. Now I have to try and find either a part-time weekend job or Govt

  7. Anyone get their degree from Akron Institute?

    StudentGrace replied to barleany78's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I completely understand what you are saying. When I called they asked to schedule me for the TEAS test (which I believe is monthly around the 3rd Friday). Once that was done, I maybe received one or...

  14. Akron Ohio hopeful future student

    StudentGrace replied to Brikkz's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I think you should seek more opinions because sometimes rumors can be just that. Perhaps the other programs have a reputation for not being all that great, but I have heard very good things about the...

    StudentGrace replied to R.Smith's topic in Ohio Nursing
