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.

I am a future nursing student working on my pre-reqs right now at the College of Lake County. I am curious to know how the competition is in other schools in illinois to get into the nursing program. What was enterance based on?

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...

I am attending Shawnee Community College in Southern Illinois and will be staring the LPN program in 3 weeks. It was competitive to get in, only 45 spots, and over 200 applicants. Good Luck to you!:)

Hello all CNA & Nursing students in the fair State of Illinois!
Please share your knowledge, tips and advice.

Hello. I've just made the decision to go into nursing (career change at the age of 43). I will be attending a summer course to become a CNA. Have you worked as a CNA yet? I live in Chicago and I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks!
