Chicago ADN Program and School search Advise

[Simpson54]

I am in somewhat of the same boat. I graduated in 2010 with a degree in marketing and a minor in business admin but have recently decided to go back to school for nursing. After reading many many many discussions on here concerning people with the same questions...what program to choose, where to go, ABSN, BSN, or ADN?...I have decided that the best path for me is to go the ADN route. I really wanted to go to a university and start the ABSN program but the list of prereqs made this almost a 3 year program for me. Plus I have heard some really great things about ADN programs. However I am completely lost when it comes to finding the right school. I live in Chicago and always use public trans so somewhere in Chicago would be great! I have jstu heard so many terrible things about a couple of community colleges that people said they graduated and didnt really learn anything so they failed their boards or that the waiting list to get in took 2 years. All of this is very over whelming and I dont want to miss any deadlines but when I have contacted the schools I didn't get much help. Does anyone have any suggestions of places that offer the ADN program and are legit schools where i can get the esucation i need in the time and affordable price range i am looking for. Also a quick question does anyone not recommend getting my ADN? I don't want to go through all the work only to find that I need my BSN so get a job in Chicago.

Thanks in advance your the help!!
