I am unable to find anywhere on their website if you can take classes in the evenings/weekends? I am currently going to CSCC however I only have two more pre-requisites and then theoretically I could start. I know it would be at least Aug 2011 befor...

In your original post you had stated OU-Chillicothe as an option as well. I have spoken with a few people there and there is not currently a waiting list. They start three times a year. Fall and Spring start are normal starts. The winter start is act...

OSU Campus area is not too far from Capital University. However, that being said going from OSU campus to Capital can be interesting depending on the time of day. There are definately more housing choices around OSU campus but you need to be more ca...

There are some areas that are close to the interstate that are about a mile south of Capital University as well. There are several apartment complexes that look pretty nice. You may also be able to rent in Bexly (the suburb where Capital is located) ...

Is there anyone planning on taking this class during summer quarter? Also, if anyone has recently completed it, how is the course? Is it overwhelming? Is it more book stuff than hands on or visaversa? Thanks in advance :)

I got in for Summer Quater :) Thanks for all the info. I now know if I need to, I can schedule a 3rd class for the quarter :)

Thanks so much for the responses. The registration for Summer quarter opens on 4/26 and I needed to figure out how difficult that class would be so I would know what to schedule with it. Thanks again!!

CSCC that I am speaking of is Columbus State Community College. So is Nurc 101 the backround info and then NURC 102 the actual hands-on?

I am thinking about applying to the OU-C ADN program. Any thoughts on the program? This would be a contingency if I am unable to get into CSCC next fall. What are the things you liked about this program and what did you dislike?

I wish you the very best of luck tomorrow. Please let us know how it goes for you. Thank you for taking the time to answer this post. I do have some more questions for you but I will send you a private message in a few days.

Anyone else feel like their family is not as supportive of your decision to chose nursing as a career? I am currently 26, almost 27 and have a very good paying job (Considering I do not have a degree). I have entertained the idea of pursuing nursing ...

A lot of the private schools such as Chamberlain are "for-profit" so it would not shock me to hear that they get a comission or something for getting you enrolled. I don't think I could justify spending 4-5x on my education when I can get one of equa...

Mike and Barlowjb, Thanks so much for the responses....it means a lot. I believe my turning point in wanting to do something to help people is when my husband unexpectedly died. Since then I have inside wanted to help others but had to get over my o...

GOBUX90 - What system did you get in with? Is it one of the hospitals where you also have clinicals? What school are you going through? My family and I are wrestling with staying in Columbus area or moving to a more Rural area where my Fiance's fami...

Thanks for your replies everyone. Yes, I do live on my own. I have two kids, ages 9 and 3. This is not something I grew up wanting to do but several years ago I had something terrible happend and my husband at the time passed away. Since then, I dec...

Is there anyone currently enrolled in this program at OU-C, or have completed the ADN Program? What do/did you think of it?

Where does CSCC have their clinical sites at? Does it change often or do they pretty much have them in the same place for each "Class"?

That's interesting. Good thing is regardless of what i decide to do as far as the actuall program itself, I will still be doing NURC 101 and 102 at CSCC. I wish all schools had the ability to offer classes in the evenings, as i would definately consi...

Well that is definately good to know! Have you looked into the program at COTC, Marion Technical or any other places? They both offer ADNs and would not be nearly as expensive as going for a BSN at Kent.

Well I have the option to moving to southern Ohio to be closer to my fiance's family that can help with child care so I could work as a PCA or something in the hospital in that area, and then could go to OU-C during the day. The only reason I cannot ...

Sounds like you and I are in a similar situation. I will be taking NURC 101 and 102 during Summer and Fall quarters. and then will be applying in Dec/Jan for the Fall 2011 Class. I am struggling with the possibility of being wait listed. My struggl...

How long until you graduate Forever? Do you currently work there now? What do you do there? I am trying to make it work so that after i finish NURC 101 and 102 that i can work as a tech or aide at a hospital but the money is about 40-50% less than ...

That's really good to know, and I am happy about it. I am a firm believer that Grant and Mt. Carmel West get a bunch of stuff that normally wouldn't be seen at MCE, St. Ann's or Riverside. Just due to the diveristy of the population and the fact tha...

Ok, thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info :)
