  2. UIC Midwifery Fall 2011

    Geriatricnursing, I interviewed Feb 23 with somebody from the CMN program. I unfortunately don't know how many individuals were they selected out of each subgroup. Midwifery stuff seemed very separate from the NP program. We didn't discuss anythin...
  3. UIC Midwifery Fall 2011

    Hi ehealy3, I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2009. I moved to Chicago after graduating and have worked here (MICU/CCU) for the last 2 years. My experience is pretty unrelated to Midwifery but I have a gut feeling about this so I am g...

  5. This is a very, very bad idea. No manager will agree to make a random appointment with you, let alone offer you a position if you barge into their office demanding an interview. You will find that it is hard enough to get a manager on the phone! B...
  6. UIC With No L&D Experience?

    Hi everyone! My name is Karyn and I am currently a CCU nurse in Chicago. Although I currently work ICU, I am an aspiring Midwife! I have applied to UIC for fall 2011. I was wondering if anybody here has attended UIC that did not have L&D exper...
  7. ACLS algorithms

    I am a new grad and have been working in an MICU since July. I just took ACLS and had to do a megacode. Basically, I just looked over my cards and would think to myself through each scenario. I would actually picture myself walking into a room and...
  8. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    The trick worked for me as well! I took my exam Friday, came home and it wouldn't let me pay. Gave me the "You have recently taken the exam, contact your BON, etc" message and I found out just now that I passed!!!!

  10. Pearson VUE Quick Results on a Sunday?

    I haven't slept in days and have to worst heartburn ever... I finished about this time on Friday with 75 questions so hopefully mine will be up soon. I did try the PV trick and it wouldn't let me go to the payment screen and came up with the "You ha...
  11. Hello everyone! I took my NCLEX-RN on Friday at 8 a.m. Does anybody know if you can get the quick results on a Sunday? Or am I wasting my time sitting at my computer checking to see if my results are up? Thanks!!
  12. Does anybody know if the Saunders 4th ed. c.d. is good for studying pharm? That is mostly what I have been using so I hope it's a decent tool for studying pharm that may be on the NCLEX.
  13. Kaplan Qbank scores?

    Hi everyone, I took the ATI predictor exam and didn't do so well on a lot of the pharm questions. I am taking the NCLEX on June 13 and am ramping up my studying. What should I do for pharm stuff? Are any of the pre-made pharm flash cards good? ...
  15. ICU/Critical Care Interview Question

    Very good point. I am definitely not afraid to ask for help and am very comfortable admitting what I don't know. I was going to talk about it in the interview (hopefully) but I hadn't thought about the possibility of doing it this way.
