   lizzyd replied to cookielady,rn's topic in Illinois

   Hi, I'm sorry you're having a bad time with Rush. If there's anything I can do to help please let me know. The IT people have always been really helpful when I've called them.

3. Rush MSN program

   lizzyd replied to cookielady,rn's topic in Illinois

   I think I know who it is you're talking about. She was very rude to me too during the application process. Everyone else is very helpful, nice, and knowledgeable- my advisor and all the profs I've had. Also, the classes have been great and many of th...

5. Rush MSN program

   lizzyd replied to cookielady,rn's topic in Illinois

   Hi, This is kind of a late reply but I applied very late to Rush and they accepted me in Aug and I started in Sept. It really depends on a variety of factors including which program you're interested in and how many students they already have, as wel...

8. How to file complaint against IL BON?

   lizzyd replied to lizzyd's topic in Illinois

   Thanks everyone for your input. I'll send a copy of my complaint letter to all the people suggested here. In response to protecting my license- I think you misunderstood. When I said I don't care about my license, I meant that I'm not complaining mer...

   lizzyd replied to lizzyd's topic in Illinois

   Hi, Thanks for replying. I wanted to file a complaint because even before I arrived in IL, I was warned that it would take "forever" to receive a license by endorsement. It has been over 3 months and I am still waiting for my TEMPORARY license. They ...

10. Night Shifts best for Night Owls??

    lizzyd replied to RDH-NrsgStudent's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends also on what the rest of your schedule is like. For example in nursing school, I was on night shifts for one of my clinicals. Unfortunately, I also had day shifts on other days (5 am) and classes very early (7 or 8 am). I had the ab...

    lizzyd posted a topic in Illinois

    Hi, It has been over two months since I applied for an IL RN license by endorsement (I'm licensed in CA). It took 1 1/2 months for them to contact me and tell me that I was missing the ED-NUR form (the education certification form). I sent this with ...

15. Anyone recently licensed by endorsement?

    lizzyd replied to Cali's topic in Illinois

    I'm sure you've realized by now that CA will not send directly to you, they sent mine to IL BON. Did you get your temp license yet? I'm still waiting. That IDPR website is horrible, their phone lines are even worse. I think it's completely unprofessi...
