ParkerBeanCurd, Thank you very much I had been searching for hours and couldn't find this information. I see they are not nationally accredited. I am curious though, they have a ADN program there (so not worried about not being able to get my RN) but I asked them what If I wanted to get my BSN and they said they have an agreement with a school in Indiana for us to get that online??? Maybe I am very confused, but If they are not nationally accredited, wouldn't that mean that to transfer credits to another school not with in the state that they wouldn't recognize the credits??? Im so confused. Can you explain what this means to me for them not to be nationally accredited please?? I want to get my BSN and possibly further. I am looking at maybe becoming a traveling nurse. I was just shy of getting my Associate Degree in Science from another school, but am transferring to get out of school faster for right now. So if I choose to go to Fortis will I be able to work in other states? Will my credits transfer to other colleges with in the state??? (I do plan on staying in Ohio until my schooling is finished) Will they transfer outside the state? Thanks guys :)

DCoffill, I had looked at this website before and I find other Fortis campuses on there in Ohio, but I didn't see the Columbus branch. Do you have any idea what this could mean?

I found the math easy. I will agree with the post above me study fractions, ratios, and military time (they came up the most when I was testing). I found the easiest thing with grammar, was to keep re-reading the sentence in my head as if I were speaking aloud to someone. Know the difference between two, to, too & your, you're & there, their, they're etc. The vocabulary part wasn't too bad, but definitly if you have the study guide study the terms in there! (I found this is where most of my fellow testers failed) Good luck!!

Well I work in a pharmacy and a man came to pick up his perscription, the name he was picking up for was Kelly. So, he asks a question about this medication and I keep asking about if his wife had these questions and if she was taking her medications correctly. He then informs me that he was Kelly. I felt so embarassed, and apologized several times. But the absolute worse part about this is the next month I did the same thing to him... ugghh. Lol! :smackingf

My question to you is, if you get your LPN and are willing to transfer schools that will accept those credits, why do you have to tell them anything about your GPA???? If you are licensed most places to get your RN will only look at your grades from your LPN program. And they might not even do that. Most just look to see if you will have to take any nursing classes over to be up to their RN program standards. Or at least in my state this is how it works.

I just took the HESI a few months ago. I didn't find it that hard. BUT, definitly study the material given in the study guide. I figured I wouldn't have to study that much, but when I opened the study guide I found out there were things I needed to brush up on. A few other people who told me the book looked easy, and they didn't study "because they knew these things already" didn't pass it. So just a heads up, if you study the book (and I only studied a few hours a night for a week) you will be fine. Also, take your time when you take it! Hope this helps :)

Hello everyone, I was just accepted into the LPN program at Fortis College in Columbus, OH. After researching on here I have found some information that is quite concerning. First can anyone tell me if this school is Nationally or Regionally accredited? What is the difference between these two accredidations? I want to hear from anyone who has information on this school. I have talked to a few people who went through their program, and claimed they loved it, and they all have jobs. Although, on the other hand, I hear alot of negitivity towards this school. When I went on the tour I liked what I saw, and my Admin. Representative was very organized and professional. So I am trying to figure out if they are just pulling the wool over my eyes? I have heard that noone will hire you if they find out that you graduated from this school, but have also been told (from someone who hires employees at a well known hospital) that as long as you have your liscense places dont care what school you went to. I am left feeling confused, because I always get contradicting information. I am aware that this school is pricey but that isn't my concern right now. I am just very interested in getting my degree and starting my career asap. I have done the math and if you add up 4 years tuition, and add the price of books to that you are walking away with almost the same cost. Also, Bohecker (now Fortis) was a horrible school... BUT Fortis is not Bohecker. Fortis bought the building that Bohecker was in. They are two different schools. Bohecker did lose their accreditation to my knowledge. (sorry but some people have confusion on this) With this being said, I dont want anyone to tell me about the price being too high, or about how a 4 year school would be better (been there done that). I only want to know any good or bad information anyone has about this school. And preferably if I could get feedback from students who have attended this school already that would be great!! ** Oh, and only information about the Westerville, Ohio campus please! ** Thanks to anyone who reads this and posts!!
