   gixergirl replied to Tleelove's topic in Illinois

   I have been staring at this 2nd semester schedule non-stop since Thursday afternoon!! It just looks soooooo very complicated and I'm already super freaked out! Got through 1st semester but it was just too close for my comfort!! I was really beating ...

2. ADN right before entering nursing school?

   gixergirl replied to yourdailyesther's topic in ADN/BSN

   I do not believe that 1 is better or worse than the other, it's all just a matter of personal choice. I definately think that you should consider the financial burden you would be placing on yourself. I personally was lucky enough to have my parent...

   gixergirl replied to Tleelove's topic in Illinois

   Yes I am in section 005, I know the instructor told me to ask the other group (the ones with yellow papers) if anyone wanted to switch, but none of the yellow group wanted to switch. I guess I have to figure it out eventually.

   Well, I can help with #3 Hodgkin's= Say it like Haaj-kins. The "Hodg" part should rhyme with Lodge. The rest is up to the nurses out there!

6. did a bad check ruin everything?

   gixergirl replied to maas's topic in General Nursing

   FYI: Usually with a basic background check the info provided is very basic. It will list the offense, the outcome and the date. When you are applying to any state for clearance or a license ANY CONVICTION will "pop" on your background. If you didn...

   gixergirl replied to Tleelove's topic in Illinois

   Wow, I didn't realize that I may be able to attend the night lecture if I am in the day program. I was kinda freaking out because I cut my schedule to part time and I work Wed & Fri 9-5. So, as long as I get a Thursday clinical I should be OK, ...

8. I didn't get into any BSN programs, but I got into the ADN programs...am I stupid?

   gixergirl replied to tatempole's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Don't take it personally sweet_b. I have a BSW from a pretty prestigious university but doing a career change and community college here I come!! The bottom line is ADN/BSN both take the same NCLEX, and make the same $$$$ (initially, within a few do...

9. I didn't get into any BSN programs, but I got into the ADN programs...am I stupid?

   gixergirl replied to tatempole's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That is strange that all 5 schools rejected you with such good grades and scores. Usually ADN programs are more difficult to get into just based on the number of people applying vs. the # of actual spots available. Don't worry, just do the ADN prog...

10. Nursing Shortage: when is it going to happen??

    gixergirl replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

    I think you also have to realize that yes the economy is terrible right now, and ones flexibility, connections and experience do have a lot to do with getting a job after graduating. Just think about how many people you have worked with in your othe...

    gixergirl replied to Tleelove's topic in Illinois

    Well this was early summer during a nursng info session when they listed the different hospitals that were possible and named those. I don't know if it changes every semester or what. Is anyone else reading some of these threads that are discussing...

    gixergirl replied to Tleelove's topic in Illinois

    I know that ****** told me that they assign your clinical location based on where you live. I don't live on that side of town so based on where I live she told me St. James in Olympia Fields or South Suburban Hospital would be possibilities for my a...

    gixergirl replied to Tleelove's topic in Illinois

    I usually see people at school in either white pants and maroon tops or white pants and light blue tops. I think the people in the blue tops may be radiology students, because when I went to the nursing information meeting there were maroon lab coat...
