  1. Starting Lorain County Community College RN - Fall 2012

    jennylouwho replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    So, how'd you all do?

  2. Lorain County Community College - RN program in Spring 2013

    jennylouwho replied to Momofzra's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Hi there! I'm entering my last semester, feel free to ask any questions! Some students are cut throat, but mostly, they're not. We really do band together. Find someone that you study well with. :)...

  3. Is this cheating?

    jennylouwho replied to BCurtis's topic in General Students

    We go through this every term, and our instructors tell us it's cheating. If someone asks me, I'm always evasive and say things like "if you've studied the objectives you'll do great" as our tests...

  4. Starting Lorain County Community College RN - Fall 2012

    jennylouwho replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The supply bag is like $80 and the most worthless piece of junk. Unfortunately, you need it, mainly for the needles that you'll have to use to give your shots, and the IV kit that you'll use in 128....

  5. Is Nursing School Hard?

    jennylouwho replied to BecomeNurse06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have three kids. I have two semesters to go. My kids are almost 6, almost 4 and 18 months. It's doable, but I work my tale off and am doing it. First semester wasn't bad. Second semester was...

  6. Starting Lorain County Community College RN - Fall 2012

    jennylouwho replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Not all of the hospitals are on computerized charting though. Mercy Allen and Mercy Regional are two hospitals that spring to mind. Also, it's sometimes hard to find a computer available even if the...

    jennylouwho replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Oh, and if you don't get the software, you have to buy the

  8. Starting Lorain County Community College RN - Fall 2012

    jennylouwho replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    One of my classmates takes her ipad to clinical, and I have no idea how it works out for her. For me, I can toss my itouch into my pocket and look things up as I go. It also works on your smart...

  9. Starting Lorain County Community College RN - Fall 2012

    jennylouwho replied to ladylysis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    So, not to scare you but everyone I know spent more than $1k in the bookstore first semester. Add more if you're buying an iTouch (I didn't need one but still spent over $1k!). Don't be surprised if...

  10. Ohio Nursing Programs

    jennylouwho replied to SheldonCooperPHD's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm at LCCC, they have an LPN to RN program as well. The LPN students take a few classes with us (not initially, but later on) and the classes are tough, but doable.

  11. LCCC new student

    jennylouwho replied to Jwarnike's topic in Ohio Nursing

    LCCC is a good school. :) I'm over half way done right now. It took me two years waiting on the list (one year once I finished support classes). People now are getting in a bit earlier (as long as...

  12. Obgyn ethics topic Help!

    jennylouwho replied to karegan2's topic in General Students

    There are plenty of breastfeeding laws. :) Many states have laws that state mom can nurse anywhere where she is permitted to be. There are federal laws (from Obamacare) that require employers of...

  13. Lorain County Community College waiting list - anyone else?

    jennylouwho replied to wantccu's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I would say school email, official communications, like FA are now going to your school email address. Good luck everyone! :) I finished up my psych rotation and am continuing on in med-surg. Our...

  14. Lorain County Community College waiting list - anyone else?

    jennylouwho replied to wantccu's topic in Ohio Nursing

    We're in the process of moving and I came across my letter today, it's dated March 23, just an FYI.

  15. What was your toughest semester in Nursing School?

    jennylouwho replied to Ellis02136's topic in General Students

    First semester was Fundamentals and Critical Thinking & Clinical Reasoning. I missed a B by four points in Fundamentals, but I didn't think it was hard and didn't put too much effort into it....

  16. Lorain County Community College waiting list - anyone else?

    jennylouwho replied to wantccu's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Oh, check out CSU - their applications are due soon for fall semester

  17. Lorain County Community College waiting list - anyone else?

    jennylouwho replied to wantccu's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Ack - wrote out a post and it disappeared. The gist of it - go see the nursing counselor, don't listen to the advisors. He will tell you when you'll have a shot. He was spot on for me, despite the...

  18. Bryant and Stratton Parma

    jennylouwho replied to jtruth333's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Wow, I lost half of my post in my last post. Stupid iTouch, lol. I originally said "You say there is nothing wrong with them, but your next statement was part of my point - cost. I'm for sticking...

  20. Bryant and Stratton Parma

    jennylouwho replied to jtruth333's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm going to agree with Scott. Stick with some of the local, more respected programs out there. TriC is an excellent choice. And I don't even go to TriC.

  21. Starting LCCC ADN program in January 2012

    jennylouwho replied to clocke73's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Haha, lol, yeah, you're in the Ohio forum. :) Good luck to you, I hope the wait time at your LCCC is not as long as it is here.

  22. Starting LCCC ADN program in January 2012

    jennylouwho replied to clocke73's topic in Ohio Nursing

    So, you're already on the list and just reupped your application? That gives you a better shot. Unless you didn't reup your application and had to reapply. You're preaching to the choir! I will...

  23. Starting LCCC ADN program in January 2012

    jennylouwho replied to clocke73's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Unfortunately, they don't give any preference for GPA, other than you must have a 2.5 to start the program, unless you and five other people are all next and there are only two more spots, then they...

  24. Starting LCCC ADN program in January 2012

    jennylouwho replied to clocke73's topic in Ohio Nursing

    If you read the other threads you will see long wait times. I was on the list for two years with all my classes complete for a year. It looks slightly better now, but I don't know that you'll make the...
