I'm still at WGU. I've finished five courses, but I'm stuck in biochemistry. At this rate, I'm thinking there is no way for me to pass and am thinking it will be necessary to quit the program. I avoid everyone to stay away from this school because...

I started October 1st. I've completed four classes to date. I spent a three solid weeks on Biochem, and didn't pass my preassessment. In fact, I was more confused after the test than before. They're working on adding additional study questions an...

I'm an OB nurse and took the preassessment for COA cold and passed. I only passed by a small margin, so I took the coaching report, refreshed up on the other parts and passed the OA with no problems. I've found the classes to be mainly straightforw...

So, it will depend on what you transfer in as to what you'll have to complete. I started October 1st and had to take 12 classes. I have finished Stats, Care of the Older Adult and Nutrition and am currently working my way through the new version of...

heartsgal, it's not the entire program, just the biochem class. I found that out online on the FB group (you can get access when you're enrolled and a month before your program starts). My mentor confirmed it for me when I talked with her last week...

jcnichols - seems we have things in common. :) About the same number to complete and the same start date. I'm ready to finish up Care of the Older Adult, if my mentor can get her act in gear. I have stats and biochemistry to take, my mentor wants ...

My start date was October 1, although my mentor hasn't officially enrolled me in classes at this point. She told me to start with Care of Older Adult, so I started there, took the preassessment before studying and got a 68% (66% is the cut score). ...

I started at EMH (now UH Elyria) as a new grad. One thing to keep in mind is you usually train on days.

Check everywhere, even the smaller community hospitals. I precepted at one and got a job - with my ADN, the pay isn't less than that of the clinic, but I don't have to drive and pay parking, and it's way less than a dollar per hour difference. :)

I graduated in may with an associates and am working in a hospital. I'm in Lorain County.

I'm a new grad and get 16 weeks, another experienced nurse is getting the same. We are a ldrp unit so we learn it all, I won't have to scrub or do scn initially.

I'm in Lorain County, graduated in May, took boards in August and started working in September. I was fortunate! I'm not making what the clinic pays, but I live four blocks from the hospital I work at and don't pay for parking and it's close! Many o...

I was an IBCLC and just recently finished nursing school and passed NCLEX. I did pathway 3. :)

Rumors abound that grads of other programs have already tested and I'm still waiting to get my ATT number. The OBN has had our stuff for three weeks and says they'll need another two weeks (according to my friend who got through - I just keep gettin...

The problem with Tri-C is that if they do lose the accreditation, it's not that they can't take state boards, they can, it's that many of the hospitals in this area require you to have graduated from an accredited institution.

I will be there in the afternoon session on Wed for the portion where you get to ask other students/new grads questions. :)

I think people are going to go to orientation next week and forget a bunch of stuff and cause a lot of grief for the office staff come December.

From what I understand, BSN programs are selective, being as you failed out of Tri-C's program, that may be a huge negative for when you apply. Check out the Cleveland State website, they list what the average gpa is there, and they used to list how...

My friend got in for spring '14 as well, this is the first time they've sent letters out so early, normally they would go out in November. Congrats and good luck, I am graduating on Saturday! It's hard, but it's doable. :)

I'm entering my last semester at LCCC, welcome! :) NEONI is a fairly basic test. Print out the packet. It used to be we had to do it yearly, but they're making us repeat it again this semester, so it seems it's starting to go semesterly. Good luck ...

I'm an IBCLC and I'm a SN. I chose to complete Pathway C (or 3?). It is not a way to cut corners, it's a legitimate pathway offered. I worked with a mentor and completed far more than the 500 hours hands on clinical experience. Before even start...

So, the thing is, some hospitals you're not allowed to use them at all. EMH was one, but I used mine on occasion in 210, in a pixis room where patients and families couldn't see. The thing is, when they see us on a device, they think we're on FB or...

Did she get sick? I'm curious which one! We lost ours at like week 10 or something crazy.

It's great here! I'm starting my final semester next. :) As for 128/129, stay focused! It was definitely tougher for me to juggle the two, than it was 114/115. I had the semester where our 128 instructor was removed half way through, which probabl...
