   I'm History replied to cheez1285's topic in Illinois

   Hello cheez1285, I also had the survey link-hope I am psychologically sound enough My BA lends itself to nursing-not quite so much as yours (very impressive indeed). I do not want to say it yet, because it will so give up my identity to others that...

2. Alexian Brothers NewGrad Residency Program

   I'm History replied to bubbles10's topic in Illinois

   Tenchi675, Thank you for the inside information. I applied in March, and my application status says, "Under Review." When did the last group of new grads start? I would be more than willing to be a pct for a stretch to get an opportunity like this. ...

   I'm History replied to tbell2's topic in Illinois

   Hello, I'm not that far ahead of you. I completely understand how difficult it is to manage kids and school schedules. In fact- this is what often scares the most about nursing school. This was my schedule for the first two classes. Fund...

7. Hello

   I'm History replied to tbell2's topic in Illinois

   Thank you TramaRUs-I was not being prudent. Still, I would like OP to know that I had only praise for the intructors I spoke of. I would never slander someone by name on the internet. In any case you are correct-I should not mention people by name. H...

8. Hello

   I'm History replied to tbell2's topic in Illinois

   My A&P1 was similar. By the end of the semester over 50% of the class had dropped. I suggest taking chemistry, statistics, and nutrition for your BSN while you are waiting to get into the np. That is however, if you intend to do the NIU/WCC co-op...

9. Hello

   I'm History replied to tbell2's topic in Illinois

10. Hello

    I'm History replied to maggijo's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was at the exact same crossroad you are in now. Eighteen weeks ago I was a stay at home mom/once teacher. I agree with Jules-do your research. Know exactly how many classes you will need/ how much it will cost/who is going to watch the children. I ...

13. Any past teachers here?

    I'm History replied to Mama2girls's topic in General Nursing

    I hope I can be of help to you. I was a teacher. I loved teaching. I do not think it is as stessful as being a nurse. (I am not an expert here,as I am not yet a nurse, though I know many.) However, teaching can be all time consuming! There was alway...

    OK guys, I'm just now coming up for air! It has been a long time since I posted. My prof. moves at a train wrecks pace. We finished muscles what seems like months ago. We are now in the special senses. For the moment I have an A! Yet, I still have 2 ...

    I'm History replied to matsgrl's topic in Pre-Nursing
