  1. JJC 2013 Spring Nursing Applicants ?

    Hi everyone! First, I usually spend about 5-6 hours a week reading, studying and doing assignments outside of class. When we have a test, I would say I add another 2-3 hours to that. Second, the nursing schedule does follow the college schedule in...
  2. JJC 2013 Spring Nursing Applicants ?

    Hello everyone, I'm currently a 3rd semester evening student at JJC and would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Congratulations to all that made it! Just keep your eyes on the prize, remember how much you want to be a nurse a...
  3. Joliet Junior College Nursing Applicants

    Hi everyone- Just wanted to touch base to see how everyone is doing first semester. It's been a challenge for me, but I'm hanging in there. How does everyone else feel?
  4. JJC Spring 2011?

    Dancingkayla25- I was really surprised that the average test score for the first theory test was 80%. I did a little above that, but still didn't do as well as I had hoped. I'm really lucky to have an awesome clinical instructor who really helps us...
  5. JJC Spring 2011?

    Good to know! It was just worrysome, because there were 2 particular teachers that I haven't heard anything good about!! You are right, the goal is to pass and you can't change who you get! Thanks, glad to know you are doing well! Keep up the good...
  6. JJC Spring 2011?

    Hello Everyone- You all sound so helpful and I have a quick question about 2nd semester instructors (I know we can't use names, but initials and I can figure out who you are talking about). I'm in the evening program first semester and have heard so...

    Jem8945- I'm pretty sure if you have all the prerequisites done you can just apply to the nursing program, but I would apply to the college first because you have to have a student email and I'm not sure if you can do that without being a student (n...
  8. Freshly Accepted @ JJC!!!! :-)

    From what I understand, the first 4 weeks of clinical time are spent in the classroom, my time is from 4-10 for the evening program, but I think when you start out you are only in class for 4 hours and then after the first 4 weeks you move on to the ...
  9. Freshly Accepted @ JJC!!!! :-)

    I have a 3 year old, so I know how you feel! My husband works a lot and sometimes works nights, so the good part is that it's only for 8 weeks each semester. Do you have any family that can help out?
  10. Freshly Accepted @ JJC!!!! :-)

    I vaguely remember being told at the informational nursing meeting a few months ago that the clinicals would be the 3-11 shift, but I'm not sure whether we work until 11 or get off a little earlier. We should find out for sure on Wednesday at regist...

    That makes sense then! Thanks!! I do have a regular dr., but he doesn't do injections or labs at his office, so I'm using a dr. out of channahon that has all of that on site. If you are going to have to pay out of pocket, I would suggest trying ei...
  12. Joliet Junior College Nursing Applicants

    I had a few quick questions for anyone that knows the answers!! Just wondering if we need the background check completed before orientation on the 27th and is it mandatory if we are not already CPR certified to complete it at JJC? I can do the same...
  13. Joliet Junior College Nursing Applicants

    I think I will just keep my books, just in case. I should probably get rid of my cadaver, I was unaware that it was illegal!
  14. Joliet Junior College Nursing Applicants

    Great information alma! Thanks! It's reassuring to hear that you did it being a single mother, that's a lot, congratulations!! I did have a question as to whether you ever used your A&P book for nursing. I'm contemplating whether to hold onto...
  15. JJC Spring 2010 applicants

    I took underwood online and I loved her, I got an A and she did an awesome letter of recommendation for me. I do know that some people didn't like her, but if you do the work, it's not a bad class, but you will have to put in the time if you want to...
