    Chicago to NewHaven replied to Kathyz's topic in Illinois

    I am so sorry to hear that you did not get in. It seems like nursing schools are getting so competitive - its just ridiculous. It still stinks though! I'm sure I won't get in either. But that does not mean that you won't get into Rush's program. ...

    Chicago to NewHaven replied to M397's topic in Illinois

    I took a couple of science classes as Truman before transferring. What kind of information are you looking for? I tried to apply for the RN program there but was denied - they required a reading and vocabulary test which was very hard (actually kin...
