   jpaschen posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I got a call yesterday from the nursing school letting me know that my wait on the "alternate status" list was over- I'm in for Fall '06. If I had received this news months ago there would have been no question- I would be going to nursing school thi...

   jpaschen replied to amiee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Aimee, I sat for the NLN exam back in January and I, like yourself, have been out of school for quite a while. The Macdonald book was an ok tool to help you prepare, but beware--there are quite a few physics (ohms questions) that are NOT in the study...

   Saw Bodyworlds in Chicago over a year ago and it was nothing short of amazing! I would encourage everyone (interested in the medical field or not) to go see this wonderful, respectful, presentation of the human body!

6. Any Harper College Students?????????

   jpaschen replied to FoxyRoxy21's topic in Illinois

   Thank you for the encouragement, but I would not really consider this a "success" until I am officially offered a seat. Does your friend know where she is on the wait list (top 25%, top 50%, bottom 50%, etc...)? I spoke with Harper College again toda...

10. "an Alternate Candidate"...

    jpaschen posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Well, I got the long awaited "letter" in the mail today and I have been chosen as an "alternate candidate" for the Fall '06 nursing program. Oh well! I guess the waiting isn't over. Has anyone ever been in this situation or known of someone who was a...

    jpaschen replied to fmrnicumom's topic in Pre-Nursing
