Ohio's Laundry List of Nursing Schools Available

How Do You Choose?

Right now you may find schools in Ohio with waiting lists for nursing programs. Big problem in the industry — a literal bottleneck for new nurses AND in an industry that cannot handle it. However, Ohio does have dozens of schools and there are those that don't have a wait, you need to be thorough in your search.

Downtown Columbus, Ohio.

The other option: search for a school that offers some online choices. Study online and you automatically open up many more options as far as school goes. Unfortunately many nursing students fail to even consider online or blended programs, but quite a number of the very well-respected brick and mortar schools have purposely added on distance degrees for nurses.

If you're trying to get your degree done ASAP check out the Ohio schools on the list that offer practical nurse programs — technical and vocational schools — these prep you for the LPN license and a fast entry to a good job. By far the most popular track to an RN job is via a 2-year Associates degree from one of the many community colleges. You should be able to find one of these practically in your own backyard, BUT the waiting list could be the problem. Again, if you open your mind you should check out an online option. Once you already have your RN, additional coursework can allow you to quickly upgrade to a BSN.

Put Professional RNs into Engaging Jobs

Cleveland.

Experienced RNs are being urged to go back to school. Another major issue for the nursing industry is retention. Mid-career nurses are at the biggest risk for ditching jobs and with a looming nursing crisis everything is being done to try and stem the bail-out. If you're a professional RN some of the more innovative and engaging jobs for experienced nurses include forensics, informatics and legal nursing. Of course anesthesia remains hot, but it's very competitive and demanding of your time. Other advanced practice specialties which may require earning an MSN or a grauduate certificate and could bump you up nicely into autonomous and well-paying jobs include nurse practitioner, nurse midwife, nurse administrator, and educator.

Ohio Nursing Salaries and Job Factors

Ohio nurses have access to many well-paying jobs at the 150 hospitals (1) located across the state. There are, of course, many other places that employ nurses, but hospitals remain the largest employers. Look for the biggest hospitals in Cincinnati, Akron, Columbus and Cleveland. Also, expect salaries to be a bit higher for RNs in large metro areas versus more suburban even rural areas. The average salary range for a staff RN in Cincinnati is $54,700 to $66,000.(2)
