   And what did I do that "sucks"????? I told you that you won't be done with clinical by noon and suggested you be very flexible?? Are you kidding me?? You actually took offense to that? I was only trying to give advice to everyone from someone who...

   And I did answer your question.....try reading all the posts before you respond in a rude manner. I suggest you start growing a thicker skin and toughen up a bit.....that's a nursing school requirement. :) Good luckkkkkk

   You know what???? If you don't want to hear reality then that is your problem. Just trying to help, but looks like you just want to hear fairly tales. Good luck getting through the program. No more advice from here. I'll get off your board now. ...

   For the most part, you WILL be done by 3pm on most days. I'm pretty sure 1st semester you will be out earlier than 3 on clinical days....maybe 1:30 or 2 pm if I remember correctly. And if you have to take 140, I do believe one of those sections goe...

   You may be the lucky group who gets an easy schedule like that...who knows, maybe they just changed things!! (Which happens often!) Like I said, and I CANNOT stress this enough: BE FLEXIBLE!!! There will be tons of "conferences, labs,orientations...

   Its not a rumor, I've been in this program for two years. I have never had to be at clinical later that 6:30 am EXCEPT during the PSYCH rotation in 3rd semester. I don't know ANYONE who starts at 7:30 and ends at 12. Who did you talk to because tha...

   The above post was in reference to to post above it regarding the schedule, by the way. Sorry, I'm still chuckling at the 7:30 to 12 bit.....I wish!!!!! I can't believe they told you that. The secretaries, unfortunately, get sooo tired of all the p...

   I really think this is VERY INACCURATE. Please don't go by this....the ladies in the nursing office really don't know much. They are just the secretaries. You will never get out of clinical at 12pm and showing up at 7:30am???? I really doubt it. ...

    I meant you can sit for the CNA exam, not CNA class! :)

    hopefull2011 replied to Gstar's topic in Illinois

    It really depends on who you have for clinical, but 6:30 am is usually the time you have to be there. Definitely before 7 am for the day program. And you can sit for the CNA class once semester 1 is over and your grade has posted to your official tra...

    "You can't sit for the CNA test, but they do test you in the program." Yes, you CAN sit for the C.N.A. exam once you finish 140. I did, and worked as a C.N.A. until I became an L.P.N. after 2nd semester. JJC is an excellent program....very, very dif...

    Hi strongfaith: You usually get what you pick...but you are more likely to get days only because there are more day spots. If you pick either then depending on how many people asked for nights, you may not get it and get put into days instead. I'm ...

    Hi, everyone. Being a CNA doesn't give you "extra points" at all. The reason they collect your registry is because, if you are a CNA, then you don't have to take NURS 140 during the first semester, which is really nice. I'm a fourth semester JJC nur...
