THE STORY -

By Monty Siekerman
Our little polar bear friend Bi has traversed the Village of Ada and now, in Part 3 of our saga, we find him throughout campus.

He finds Klondike’s in McIntosh, a buddy at The Inn, a sign pointing to Klondike’s den, even a place where people plunge into the icy cold water in February.

Follow him through campus in today’s installment.

Tomorrow — total polar bear country can be found at King-Horn/Sports Center. This town and campus is polar bear crazy, as Bi found out on his trip here during a harsh winter.

ONU nursing highly ranked

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Thursday, February 1, 2018

Ohio Northern’s nursing program is ranked 5th in the state among 89 schools that offer nursing degrees. The ranking was determined by RegisteredNursing.org and was based on the pass rate success of students who took the state board examination. 

It said this about Ohio Northern’s program:

“Small class sizes, faculty support and post-graduate career support are some of the few attributes of the Ohio Northern University nursing program. A well-balanced BSN or MSN program of theoretical and practical experiences help individuals graduate at the top of the field. Get all the program details by visiting the Ohio Northern University website.”
