   katybeto replied to chicagonurse2b's topic in Illinois

   Oh, and it REALLY helped that I got Micro Bio and both A&Ps out of the way before starting, so for the first year the only classes I have are Nursing 101 first semester and Nursing 102 the second semester.

   katybeto replied to chicagonurse2b's topic in Illinois

   I am in my first year of the program and I work 45 hrs a week. I anticipate having a high B or an A at the end of the semester. I know a lot of the people in my class work full time as well. I think the hardest part is getting all of the reading in, ...

3. I need serious advice on whether I should become a nurse!

   I haven't bought anything yet but I have been pricing everything. According to what I have found it is definitely worth getting things used/online instead of the book store except for the $209 package. Is that what you guys have found? Everything add...

   I work full time as a nanny (and I'm also a nursing student which is why I'm on this site:) ) I have used care.com and sittercity.com a lot. They are great! Both sitters/nannies and parents have profiles and most care takers have paid for a backgroun...

   Unfortunately that price is just for the package of books in that first package. I was told all of the books are about 14000 (that is including tax). YUCK!

    snipsnapsnap... I just recently got a kindle and still haven't quite learned everything. How were you able to use your kindle for nursing school? (sorry if it is a stupid question! Like I said I haven't had it long!)

    I stopped over there on Friday too! I'm working 4 ten hour days this summer so Friday is really the only day I can drop it off because they're not open early/late enough for me to bring it in after work. I'm hoping it is okay to turn them in ON the 1...

    If you haven't gotten your physical yet, you could also ask your doctor if they can do it there... thats what I did! Just one less appointment to worry about.
