As someone who used to run background checks for a social service organization that was bound to IL's DHS Disqualifying Convictions list, I can tell you that arrest records cannot be held against you,...
I'm not surprised to hear this. In my CNA program, it was drilled into us that CNAs in the State of IL CANNOT give injections of any types - they are medications and considered out of our scope of...
Yikes!! That schedule is crazy!! If you add in all the reading you will have to do, working full time (which is what your employer is requireing of you - right?) if not an option. You will be...

Clinical is only one day. They just want to let you know what days will be your options. What you get will be based on what's actually available when it's your turn to register on registration day...
Hi all - congrats on getting in :) I'm going into 2nd year and I just wanted to mention one thing about CPR - make sure the class you take is for healthcare workers - that's the one you need and it...
