3. Weiss Memorial RN residency

   livingthedream replied to icechick's topic in Illinois

   I applied to Weiss and was turned away based on my answers to the "screening tool". I received a job offer from Rush and U of C, so I am not sure why Weiss did not like me. But that is all I know.

   I agree with the squire. He and I were in together and our class was about 32 people or so. Perfect size and we knew in advance who our instructors were... good luck. PS - when I meet others from other schools - we all feel the same pain at one ti...

   I don't work in HR. So if there are jobs posted, then they are hiring. I was very persistent about wanting to work there - calling and such. There is a nurse that I know that is ADN, but I only know one. She was hired when I was, last year. Goo...

   I am a nurse there now in an ICU. I very much enjoy the medical center and do not feel that I have an issue with MD communication at all. I also do not have an issue with management communication. I have less than 1 year there - and get all of my ...

   I was in the same class as the Squire... (and hello there)... My GRE score was over the 1,000 combined, my essay was higher, but my GPA was 2.73 from undergrad (not including my pre-reqs of all science classes that I had a 3.8 for). I was wait-liste...
