  1. College of Dupage letters mailed - Fall 2010

    I haven't heard anything about orientation, but I think it is usually held in July. I haven't heard anything from the financial aid office either, and I'm starting to get a bit nervous.
  2. College of Dupage letters mailed - Fall 2010

    Congrats to everyone that got in!! I accepted my seat as well and can't wait to start. I have a BSN already in an unrelated field and was considering doing a direct entry program for a master's in nursing. But, I really think this is the way to go...
  3. Loyola ABSN Spring 2010 Start - HELP!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I think that is exactly the response I needed! I cannot tell you how long I have been agonizing over taking the seemingly 'less sophisticated' way out with a community college. (bad way to put it, I know -but I ca...
  4. Loyola ABSN Spring 2010 Start - HELP!

    Thanks so much for the response!! I keep going back and forth with whether I want to do the run-of-the-mill ADN program for 2 years and save money, or get the schooling quickly and start my real career. So, after reading some of the comments about L...
  5. Loyola ABSN Spring 2010 Start - HELP!

    RNIllini, couldn't help notice that you seem a little unhappy with Loyola's ABSN program. It was one of the programs I was interested in, but after doing some research on this site...wow! It seems like there are an awful lot of unhappy Loyola gradu...
  6. "To Be or Not To Be a Nurse"...

    I absolutely agree with you!! This is a ridiculous field to get into, and I am sooooo frustrated! I graduated in 2004 magna cum laude with a degree in philosophy and pre-med. After college, I took a job as a patient representative. I got some exp...
  7. UIC GEP 2009 - Who's in???

    It was the only program I applied to at the time - I wasn't sure if I wanted to go to DePaul or Rush's MSN direct entry program b/c you only graduate with a Clinical Nurse Leader designation (which isn't as recognized as an actual NP). I know, you ...
  8. UIC GEP 2009 - Who's in???

    Hi Hopkins! U sound like an excellent candidate for the GEP program. I think your experience and background will definitely improve your chances. I graduated magna cum laude in 2004 with a BA in philosophy. I worked at a hospital for about two yea...
  9. Any Jan 2010 UIC GEP Applicants Out There?

    Thanks, Judr. To be honest, my interview was absolutely HORRIBLE (I was practically in tears by the time I left!) - so I'm not surprised by the rejection. I'm looking at Rush and DePaul's master's programs. But, they are so expensive and are full...
  10. Any Jan 2010 UIC GEP Applicants Out There?

    I applied to Acute Care, and I found out last night I was rejected. Yuck. Good luck to everyone else, and congrats to all who do get in!
  11. Any Jan 2010 UIC GEP Applicants Out There?

    I don't know what the format will be - I hope it isn't a group interview. Those can be so intimidating! Ast8 is A&P the only class you are taking? I'm in the second half of A&P II as well, but I still have to take the research methods cours...
  12. Any Jan 2010 UIC GEP Applicants Out There?

    Me too! I'm so excited! Now I have to start my search for an interview suit...
  13. Any Jan 2010 UIC GEP Applicants Out There?

    Judr - where in Chicago are you? Any other Chicagoans? I work in Naperville and live in Plainfield.
  14. Any Jan 2010 UIC GEP Applicants Out There?

    Thank you so much for the info Judr! I'm still holding my breath too until I get the email. Let's hope they actually send it today - b/c if they don't, I think we will all be 100 times more confused, nervous, and frustrated than we are now!

    Congrats on DePaul, Krindy!
