   RN83, I live in Chicago and have also been accepted to the 2012 program. I'd be happy to help.

   Trigirl replied to qtpnai03's topic in Illinois

   Also, it takes a while to hear back from Rush.

4. What Chicago Area Hospitals are hiring at the moment?

   Trigirl replied to qtpnai03's topic in Illinois

   Rush's Neuro ICU is hiring. They just hired 3 new nurses that started last week. It seems like every month new people are starting. Its not that people are leaving, but the unit keeps growing. I would definitely check with HR, and leave them a messag...

   The City Colleges are your best bet. You should check out Truman college. They have open spots for A&P I for summer 07. They start on June 6.

6. Loyola Univ. Chicago ABSN vs Rush Univ. ABSN

   Trigirl replied to wildorchid's topic in Illinois

   They are similar programs, both being 12.5 months in length. I would reccommend going to info meetings on both. I applied to Rush last year, and was wait listed, so I applied to Loyola after not getting into Rush and was accepted and start at Loyola ...

7. Anyone else accepted to Loyola ABSN?

   Trigirl replied to Trigirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Loyola is expensive, but it is a great school, and we'll be done in 12.5 months. I will also need to take out loans to cover my living expenses, as I will continue to live on my own, not on campus. So, I am looking at being in a good deal of debt, bu...

8. Nursing School Resume....

   Trigirl replied to erin1205's topic in Pre-Nursing

   One and a half pages is not long. That is how long mine was, and I have applied for jobs that way, as well applying for two ABSN programs, of which I got into. I don't think they are looking at the length of the resume; more about your experience. Th...

   I just got my letter tonight, and am very excited! First day of class is May 21. Has anyone else gotten accepted?

10. found out my competition!

    Trigirl replied to Irene joy's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Ok, that makes more sense. I have heard variations of what the schools are looking for. Some say the higher GPA gets in, some say they look at "volunteer work" in hospitals, or if you have gone out and shadowed a nurse before. I knew a few people wit...

11. found out my competition!

    Trigirl replied to Irene joy's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Can I ask what schools or type of schools you are talking about that are requiring such high GPA's? Rush University in Chicago is ranked in the top 3 in the U.S. and has an ABSN and a traditional program, and only requires a 2.75 min GPA. I am gaspin...

12. :( Kind of a downer post...

    Trigirl replied to Jamie-Sue's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Seriously, you cannot give up. Someone needs to sing you a song or something. The theme song from Annie always seems to cheer people up when I sing it, though I think they would just really rather me stop. ha ha. You have made it this far. Think abou...

    Trigirl replied to CuriousMe's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Call me crazy, but I am taking A&P I and II together this semester. I took them separately 9 years ago for my undergrad, but need to have taken them in the past 5yrs for a school that I am applying to that starts in May. I just finished taking ge...

14. Calculus anyone?

    Trigirl replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I haven't heard of any nursing programs requiring calculus as a pre-req. Seems kinda odd. Usually only algebra and always statistics.

15. Quick Someone, Help

    Trigirl replied to CRIMSON's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I had the same question when I was ordering my Organic chem book. It ended up being a softcover book, and didn't have a periodic table on the inside cover, but all else was the same. The instructor actually told me to buy the international version.
