3. Just accepted into JJC's nursing program. Now what?

   kimbly9 replied to *jacks*'s topic in Illinois

   Hi *jacks*. I am currently a 1st semester student at JJC. There really isn't much that you can do to get prepared. If you have the reading list, I guess you could start reading from the books. Most of it didn't make much since until I got to lect...

10. Did Anyone Get Their Letters from JJC yet?

    kimbly9 replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Illinois

    I can't offer any tips about classes at JJC. This is my 1st semester there, so I have no experience with teachers or classes (other than Psych 215). I completed all of my pre-reqs except for Psych 215 & Soc 290 as a part of my BA in Biology. I go...
