  1. Question about ATI prep course

    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...
  2. Tri-C nursing 2300

    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...
  3. Tri-C nursing 2300

    Good luck! I failed her component. And I am a straight A student...it was a blow to ego for sure! I studied her notes like everyone said...did a millions of nclex questions from Lippincott...I missed passing by 2 points. Psych is just hard, its a lo...
  4. ADN Program - Kent vs Tri-C

    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

    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.
  6. I start the Nursing Program Fall 2013 at Tri-C. I just wanted to see if I could connect with anyone who will be going in too. I am currently finishing up my psych, A&PII this semester and then will be taking microbiology in the summer. That way I...
  7. How old were you when you started Nursing 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...
  8. I applied to take the HESI after I took biochem. I was a transfer student so I had all my English, math, pre-psych requirements satisfied. But once you have the following classes you can apply, because you can take all other "prereqs" with concurrent...
  9. 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!
  10. 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! :)
  11. Voice Recorders

    If you use a voice recorder, which model do you have? I am planning on getting one for fall when I start the nursing program. Thanks!
  12. mimi524 I tried to respond to your pm but don't have enough posts to do so..to answer your question, I have heard we will know for sure by July.
  13. 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!
  14. 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...
  15. Our school is called Cuyahoga Community College. The appeal takes 90 Days and the school is telling us they will have an answer by July. If you can't find a school on NLNACs website its because they are not accreditted. They only list the schools th...
  16. 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...
  17. Self paced Lifespan Psych?

    I am taking an online Psych 2020 (lifespan) class at the cuyahoga community college. It is really easy.
  18. I hear you. I have been accepted to a nursing program, I was all set to quit my job in June...then I just received the medical records requirement and the Hep B requirement that I am supposed to have completed before our orientation in late May or ea...
  19. I am so frustrated. Because I was accepted into the fall 2013 program back in Sept. Yesterday I received an email stating we would need to get a health checkup/physical and be able to provide proof of immunity/vaccinations for your typical childhood...
  20. No, I purposely went through all my pre-nursing requirment info last night...my acceptance letter that I received in September. There is no mention of what the medical records requirements were. I emailed the director of the program, let her know I h...
  21. I am hoping some of you experienced nursing students can help me make a decision. after this semester, the only thing I have left to take is my microbiology. I had planned on taking it over the summer, but since all I have left are my nursing classes...
  22. Thanks for the thoughts! I think I will go ahead and take micro in the summer. I am hoping to quit my job early in the summer so my kids get some "summer fun" and a less structured summer that they're used to. So a micro class wouldn't be too bad. ...
  23. I took my HESI A2 Exam the end of August, had my background check done early september. And I think i had my acceptance by the end of september early october. At that time I was enrolled in AP1. I agree with associatedegree, people may change their m...
