   This may not be the most cost-effective solution, but if you really can't find anything out there you can always go to a tailor and have 'em made specially for you.

4. Listening to lectures during sleep

   rykki replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't think it would be helpful, but I guess it also depends on the person. However, I can say with confidence that quality sleep >>> listening to lectures during sleep. You want to wake up refreshed and recharged so that your mind is shar...

5. DePaul MENP Fall 2013

   rykki replied to oh191's topic in Illinois

   @mdecas, Thank you your post was very helpful! It was reassuring to hear that DePaul has a good reputation and that alumni were able to find work. If my situation allows it, I'd like to find an apartment in Lincoln Park or a few stops away on the red...

   @ OP, I respect your right to have different opinions and priorities than me. You do what you gotta do! :)

7. Unrecognizable without scrubs...

   rykki replied to Brian's topic in Rock

   Do most hospitals make you buy a specific uniform? Or do they have some guidelines but you can choose your own? I've seen hospitals where everyone wears the same dark blue, grey, or light blue scrubs (colors for coding professions) and others were ev...

   rykki replied to oh191's topic in Illinois

   Wow, congratulations @mdecas! I'd like to hear more about what you have to say about DePaul; I'm very curious. Is housing easy to find around there? Is it affordable?

9. Is my personality a good fit for nursing?

   rykki replied to rykki's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank y'all for your support. I didn't mean to propagate a certain (and very archaic) stereotype, it's just that all the nurses I've interacted with were a very specific way which got me worried, even though intellectually I know there is variety out...

10. You're so smart, you should be a doctor.

    rykki replied to i♥words's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I couldn't agree with this thread more! I am so so so tired of this sentiment, it's wearing me down. My family thinks it's "such a shame" that I'm "wasting" my "med school grades" on nursing. In their eyes, healthcare, nay the world, is a hierarchy a...

11. Is my personality a good fit for nursing?

    rykki posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm not what you'd call "motherly." I'm not one of those girls that goes all gooey around babies or talks to kids in cute voices. I also don't call people "honey" or things like that when talking to them. And I probably wouldn't do too well in a soro...

    xkcd: Dreams Everyone should read this comic. I believe it is pertinent to the conversation. I'm sure after reading, some of you will scoff at the idea of how stripping can be anyone's dream, but burlesque is now considered more on the art end of the...

13. DePaul MENP Winter 2012

    rykki replied to ladya1234's topic in Illinois

    @ KC9485, Yes, you do receive a master's in nursing upon graduation from DePaul's program. The advantage of a masters vs an accelerated or associate's in nursing is obviously the difference in pay (maybe not right away, but overall in your career). B...

14. DePaul MENP Fall 2013

    rykki replied to oh191's topic in Illinois

    @oh191, I submitted my intent to enroll form online and nowhere in the packet or online did it mention a deposit. Unless I just completely missed it! Also, I'm sorry if you tried PM-ing me, it's not working for me at the moment. I would love to join ...

    rykki replied to oh191's topic in Illinois

    @sweetie23, I got all my applications in the day before the deadline! I got an e-mail and received the packet almost a week later. @baystudent, Ah okay. I was just thinking about the other direct entry MSN programs in Chicago, which are around the sa...
