Jul 23, 2004 by Harmony213 52 Posts; 1,680 Profile Views I'm a Nurse Tech in Springfield, IL. Took the class 1 1/2 years ago. I was so nervous for clinicals but that was because I had a horrible teacher. I did dread them though. Now that I work at the hospital, I love it. I would not want to do it my entire life but it is really great experience. I feel I will be prepared when I go to nursing school in Fall '06. My job can be pretty demanding but I still love it. Feel free to ask me about anything. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jul 23, 2004 by Harmony213 52 Posts; 1,680 Profile Views The school I will be attending is somewhat competitive because they only have 50 spots or so. I am fine though because I have early admission. The school I was originally planning on going to didn't seem that competitive either. This is all in central IL, so I dont know how it is up there in Chicago... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
