1. Pre-Pharmacy gone Pre-Nursing

   rdy2strt replied to RNicholask's topic in General Nursing

   Glad to see others here in the same boat. Pharmacy and Nursing both have their pros and cons. Sure pharmacists make more than RN's, but Pharm D is an advanced degree. You can get an advanced degree in the nursing field and make around the same ran...

3. from RN to Pharmacy tech

   rdy2strt replied to neatnurse30's topic in General Nursing

   Though the post is outdated anyone who comes across this. Look at either 2 or 4 year nursing programs at schools you may want to attend in or out of your area. Get your pre req's done making sure you meet the programs requirements and apply to the ...

4. from RN to Pharmacy tech

   rdy2strt replied to neatnurse30's topic in General Nursing

   Maybe she's see something in pharmacy I don't. A pharmacy technician is pretty much a dead end job unless you want to become a pharmacist. I think good technicians and pharmacists get absolutely no respect what so ever at the retail level, in the h...

   rdy2strt replied to tbell2's topic in Illinois

   When I spoke with Waubonsee they said the wait list is only for the semesters fall (aug/oct) and spring (jan/march) but they said it doesn't carry from oct to jan or from march to aug but that if someone has applied before and not gotten in yet that ...

   Thanks, good luck for the spring. I know the waitlist is only for each term and doesn't rollover. They do however take into consideration when it is ones 2nd or 3rd time applying as one of the deciding factors.

   I'd check out the Review Guide for RN Pre-Entrance Exam by NLN(national league for nursing). The PAX-RN test for verbal(vocabulary and reading comprehension), math, and science. Math is basic stuff with no calculators and has a lot of fractions, mu...

    Thanks for the reply. How are the classes going so far for you? I think I'll just wait for the letter and see what Waubonsee says before I start thinking too much one way or another. Hopefully it comes end of this month or early next month.

    That's true. Guess I'll have to wait and find out what happens. I wish there wasn't such a long wait to find out lol. Would just like to know one way or another. I have all my pre reqs completed and did well on the PAX-RN so guess its just a matt...

    For anyone who has applied to the Waubonsee nursing program how long did it take after the application deadline(was sept 15th for spring) for you to find out if you got in or got put on a wait list? I applied for spring 2011 but all I have gotten...
