Any Harper Nursing Program Students out there?

[Trixie-Nurse2b]

Hello all!

I was just wondering if any of you out there went to, or are currently attending Harper College's Nursing program and how you like it. Was it difficult to get in? I'm waiting to see what their new admissions policies will be for 2008 and in the meantime, trying to figure out how to meet the Math, Biology and Chemistry requirements before the deadline next January.

It's all extremely daunting, as I'm coming out of 11 years in an art career in another state, back home to the Chicago area. I will have to live with sister and her family to get this together and am raising a teenage boy, but it's really the only alternative we have. I really need to make a connection with someone in the area for a bit of moral support, as I've lived out of state for so long and none of my friends back home are in the field.

Any friendly voices would be so much appreciated, as this whole endeavor, preparing to move and getting the stamina together to make it through the prerequisites will take a monumental amount of strength I'll have to conjure up somehow from somewhere!

Thanks so much, I hope to hear from you soon!

I'm still working on pre-reqs since they changed their application process this spring. Now there are pre-req that have to be completed prior to application. I believe their program is only full time though. Not positive though. You could look online at their nursing programs classes to see what times they are offered to give you a better idea. They have all their nursing program information online.

You're right. Unfortunately the only pre-req not required to be completed before you even apply is Microbiology but I would be very surprised if they don't make that a requirement within a year or two. The best thing to do is to complete all of your pre-reqs before you even think of applying. Keep in mind they want you to have Pharmacology completed no more than 2 years prior to admittance to the program so hold off on that one until you're ready to apply. So many things change every year, it'll be a miracle if I graduate before I'm 30. And I just turned 22. :angryfire
