Hi everyone! I just thought I'd start the new State forums off with an introduction thread. Please feel free to reply to this thread if you wish. Otherwise, feel free to start a new topic if you wish to discuss other topics that are local or state related. Enjoy!

Specializes in Surgical Heart ICU.

Well Jade I am attending South Suburban Community College in South Holland. That's in the very far south suburbs. 159th Street to be exact. What about you???

Deb, I know the Jefferson Park and Des Plaines areas well. Small world! I agree about the weather extremes, they stink!

Banginplates, I went to Loyola University in Chicago (the Lakeshore campus) and we did most of our clinicals at Loyola Medical Center.

I'm signing up w/ a new agency on Thursday. They contract w/ most of the Resurrection Healthcare System hospitals. We'll see how things go...

Specializes in Maternal - Child Health.

I'm an IL native, and back home after 10 (very long) years on the East Coast. Graduated from NIU, and worked in OB and NICU for 11 years. I'm now a stay at home mom, but with my baby starting kindergarten today, I'm looking for part-time, non-hospital work. Possibly as a substitute school nurse. As you may guess by my screen name, I'm also in the very far southwest suburbs. Good to meet you all!

Welcome home Jolie!

Specializes in Emergency.

Nice to meet you too!

School nursing is the way to go with my family's needs. Good luck to you. I started out as a substitute and realized I loved it!

I live in St. Louis now but I grew up in the NW suburbs. I've got lots of family up that way.
