Chicago ABSN and DE MSN Programs

[Brookeymai]

Hi everyone!

Starting a thread because I really need some advice! I am planning to move to Chicago to start an ABSN or DE MSN program fall 2025. I absolutely love the city of Chicago and I have the end goal of becoming a nurse practioner. 

I am grateful to have been accepted to 3 great programs

-Elmhurst MENP

-Rush GEM

-Loyola ABSN

I am very conflicted by which to attend. I visited both Rush and Loyola and was so impressed by both for different reasons. 

I wanted to see if anyone has specific experience with each and has recommendations.

Hi!

I am attending Loyola Chicago for their ABSN in the fall! Everyone that I talked to loved Loyola and felt like they were super prepared to become a nurse when they graduated.
