1. Question about ATI prep course

   larma posted a topic in NCLEX

   Our school has recently implemented the ATI testing program in our final semester. I am curious, has anyone else used this NCLEX prep and if it accurately determines your possibilities of passing the NCLEX on the first try. We do two practice tests a...

   larma replied to sheirry's topic in Ohio

   Yeah I know people that did great in her class and then are having a hard time in OB! I did great in OB...but I still studied, used my book and did nclex questions. I wish I was just one of those people who didn't have to study...Hopefully it will w...

4. ADN Program - Kent vs Tri-C

   larma replied to Ses930's topic in Ohio

   Tri-C is fully accredited. They are being reviewed by the accreditation board again this spring. I had no idea Kent had an ADN program until after I was accepted to Tri-C. Had I known I may have looked into their program a little more, since it seeme...

5. BSN vs ADN in Cleveland/Akron Area

   larma replied to musaafirah's topic in Ohio

   twinner05, whats your basis of Tri-c not being a good nursing school? Did you go there? Just curious, no offense applied, but if people are weighing their options; seems like a good idea to give a reason why they are not a good school.

   I start my ADN on the 28th, my birthday, and I will be 38. I am married, have two children 9 and 5. I started some of my readings for the first day of lecture and I already feel overwhelmed. But we want this, why else would have chose to go back afte...

   Thanks, I'll look into those. Yeah, I feel bad for saying I get skeeved out by other peoples ears...but I do! I won't even use earbuds that have been in my kids ears! And I know they are clean! :)

9. What Stethoscope for first semesters of Clinicals

   larma posted a topic in General Students

   Do I need to get the top of the line for clinical? My sister who is a RRT, says that I really don't need to get one because there is always a stethoscope in the room you can use...but I am a little grossed out by using someone else's!

    larma replied to Mimi524's topic in Ohio

    This is good to know. I went to KSU for 3 years, never knew they had an ADN program! I wish I would have known this before I applied at Tri-C! But good to know I have a back up if Tri-C doesn't pull through on this accreditation!

13. School appealing loss of NLN accreditation - start over or take a chance?

    larma replied to leekaye's topic in General Students

    Sorry didn't know you knew that. In 2010 they were downgraded from Accreditted to Accreditted with Conditions, and they were to correct their wrongs. They came back in March 2013, to review the school and see if they had corrected the issues. Accord...

    larma replied to leekaye's topic in General Students

    I am due to start at Tri-C Nursing Program Fall 2013. I am 38yo, and I too feel I am at a loss right now on what to do. We are still able to take our NCLEX, because we are still recognized by the BON. However, most higher education in our area only t...
