Hopeful in Ohio

Hi All :) Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place, I wasn't sure what this would fall under. Anyhow, just looking for some advice. I was thinking about taking A&P 1 during summer semester, which is 8 weeks long - 2 nights a week from 5:30 u...

You can, you will, and you're going to be a great nurse!!:) I went back and forth for a long time - I want to be a nurse - I'm just scared of change - I've always worked in "the corporate world." As many times as I tried to talk myself out of nursin...

Hi Sonya, There should be schools in your area that offer night/weekend ADN program. The school I attend does, and I know of several others in my area that also do. Each night/weekend program is different. With mine, the clinicals are held every othe...

Oh my!! My father in law worked for a company in the mid 80's and they supplied everyone with cell phones...just like that one! My dh used to think he was so cool carrying it around :rotfl: Now his phone can be hidden in his palm - how things have c...

Hi Firemedic, I can give you a little bit of info....I met with a counselor a few months ago regarding the weekend program. There's no wait list for the program (at least at that time there wasn't), and the clinicals run every other weekend for a yea...

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone here attends Stark State College in Ohio. I am (hopefully) going to begin the nursing program there next fall and am curious as far as what I should expect. I'm starting my pre-req's in June and am scared, nervous, an...

Shannon, I am so sorry to hear about your mother. My husband and I are in a similar situation - we found out at the end of August that his grandmother has lung cancer. She recently had the left side of her lung removed and began chemo 2 weeks ago. Wa...

Hi All, I hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying the fall weather so far! I apologize in advance if this is long and boring, but I could really use some advice, or I just need a good kick in the pants! Anyhow, I've been with my current employer fo...

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone is from, or lives near Ohio City (in Cleveland.) My husband and I have found a house there that we have fallen in love with and are thinking about buying. I grew up in Parma, hubby is from N. Royalton (we live in Akr...

I loved it! Thanks for the laugh!! :rotfl:

Hi, I'm in a similar situation as you. I've always wanted to go into Nursing, but honestly, I was scared that I couldn't do it. So I have spent the last 4 years taking business classes on and off, figuring that I would eventually just obtain a busine...

It's in Cuyahoga, right outside of downtown Cleveland. It's a small area, "historic district." I'm beginning to think that we're better off in our apartment - the whole house hunting process is much more stressful then I thought it would be!!

Hi wannabenursetx I filled out the FASFA and did not qualify for any financial aid - supposedly, hubby and I make too much money :rotfl: !! So I decided to take out a Stafford Loan. All you have to do is fill out the FASFA and have it sent to the sc...

Hi All, I'm starting in the Fall - I have a few pre-req's to finish and then the clinicals. Luckily there is not a wait list for the evening/weekend program at the college I attend. Could be because clinicals are every other weekend, Friday - Sunday,...

I'm from Cleveland, but moved to Akron a few years ago. I'm just starting out in nursing school (degree switch) but am pretty sure I want to go into Psych. We'll see... :)

To Kelly: There are some really great medications out there for the treatment of Narcolepsy. I work in a sleep clinic and the docs don't usually prescribe Ritalin because it isn't very effective. Ask your doctor about Provigil or Vivactil. You do...

Hi, I'm not sure if this will help or not, but I thought I would share my experience with you. I am the same age as your daughter. Married, but no children. In 2000, I noticed that I was sleeping alot more then normal. I could fall asleep at 7:00 in ...

I apologize in advance if this is long. I have many things on my mind and could really use some advice. I'm 26 and have been married for 6 years to my wonderful and supportive husband. No kids yet (unless you count the cats who think they are people ...

Thank you!! :) Best wishes to you also. I'm so nervous about starting, but it's nice to know that there are people to "talk" to if...more like when I need help.

It's in Stark county...in between Akron and Canton. I'm still learning my way around - moved to Akron from Cleveland. Which part of OH are you from?
