1. Wh-wh-where'd all the CLC students go?

   Micci replied to ViolettaCCU's topic in Illinois

   Hey everyone, haven't been around for awhile. I feel kind of overwhelmed with getting a handle on all the reading and the work. Trying to find my stride, I guess. I think the most difficult is all the expected reading. I really don't think it is...

2. Wh-wh-where'd all the CLC students go?

   Micci replied to ViolettaCCU's topic in Illinois

   Question about EBO's. It's kind of dumb but do we turn these in for a grade? Also do they have to be worded in our own words or can I just copy the answers I find in the text word for word? CLCstudent- I took Micro with Fleming in Spring '07, so we...

3. Wh-wh-where'd all the CLC students go?

   Micci replied to ViolettaCCU's topic in Illinois

   Collene, I took A&P at College of Dupage before I transfered to CLC, so we probably haven't met. I did take Micro with Rhonda Flemming in the evening though. I worked out the sitting situation- my nephew is going to move in and be our live-in ...

4. Wh-wh-where'd all the CLC students go?

   Micci replied to ViolettaCCU's topic in Illinois

   Thanks Blue Wolf and Lori, I started my vaccinations back December and got my physical in May. So I just need to get all that info to the health center and I am good to go. I just bought my books today and some poor kid from the bookstore had to lu...

5. Samland Institute

   Micci replied to LJUN71's topic in Illinois

   I did their weekend program in Bolingbrook because it was most convenient for me. Took 8 weekends, not too bad. The instructor was nice. I think it was probably easier and more informal then the community college class. Cost about the same. This...

6. Wh-wh-where'd all the CLC students go?

   Micci replied to ViolettaCCU's topic in Illinois

   Hi, I'm starting first semester and we just had our nursing orientation meeting today. I am trying not to but I feel completely overwhelmed by the amount of "stuff" we talked about. Modules, clinicals, exams, lab times..etc, a huge stack of books, ...

7. I Can"t Stand It Anymore!!!!!

   Micci replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Exactly!! I'm not sure how the educational system got to the point where students are treated like dirt and we pay for it.

8. Human Growth and Development Course

   Micci replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I didn't want to dig back through the whole thread... Does anyone else have to write observation papers? We have to write three. Each one we are required to observe a different age group. I did my first observation today at a preschool. I was won...

9. IL CNA Classes?

   Micci replied to Mr.N8's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Someone already posted links to Samland. I took my CNA with them because it would have cost me a whole summer of paying a sitter to take the community college course. Also, taking it through Samland was way easier than what the college makes you d...

10. Knock, knock, where are the A&P 1 students

    Micci replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am thrilled, I got a 92 on the Lecture test and 99 on the Lab test. The lecture test I was shocked because I thought I had done really bad. It was an awful day with my son being in the ER all afternoon/evening and then me rushing to school withou...

11. Am I Making a Mistake- CNA/college student blues.

    Micci replied to Micci's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Well, I was really obsessing. Guess what... I ended up getting an A (92) on the A&P exam. 3rd highest grade in the class. I swear, I thought I had gotten a C. I guess I wasn't as bad off as I thought. KatieBell, You are right, I am learning s...

12. Am I Making a Mistake- CNA/college student blues.

    Micci replied to Micci's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks! I did try working without the benefits. I put in a request last week to cut down to two days a week, my weekend days. My request was denied. The head nurse said that I have to be working there for 90 days before I can request a shift chang...

13. Am I Making a Mistake- CNA/college student blues.

    Micci posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I need advice, I need to vent. So just throw your thoughts out there. I'm on the fast lane to Burnout-ville. First off, I have 3 kids- a 9 year old who is autistic and two preschoolers. Which is a job in and of itself. On top of that, I am taking...

14. OMG, this made me cry!

    Micci replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yep, that was my dillema too. My husband went 1099 because in his field it is easier to gain employment that way. But that meant I needed to go back to work, mostly for the health insurance. I've gone to work as a CNA, because at least I am in som...

15. Exasperated...! 5th rejection?!?

    Micci replied to FurmanGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Well, the problem is that the nursing shortage has caused there to be a shortage of nurse instructors. Also, at the ADN advising session, the nurse instructor also pointed out that there is a limit as far as clinical spaces at hospitals. There can ...
