Hello Fellow Student Nurses and All registered Nurses ,
I am a 35 year old female in Illinois . I anticipate starting the ADN prereq's at South Suburban College this coming March . The math is the only real fear I have . I am truely determined to use my background in Holistic Care in conjunction with the Medical training I am about to recieve to help make a difference in peoples quality of life . Now I am certain this wont be all peaches and cream , but I'd like to go about this as if it were;) . I would like to hear some of you alls experiences good and bad . I notice that part of the prerequisites at my school is CNA escrow I wonder if that means that i will have to go through CNA traing as a part of the prereq's . I am excited about it all . And Again i'd like to hear from you all and Thank You for taking the time to read and respond to my post.

For most community colleges in Illinois, you have to have your CNA license as a prerequisite. I am sure your holistic experience will bring an advantage when you start clincals since you already have some patient interaction. Good luck with your future. I took the CNA class last summer and I loved it. I did my clinicals at a LTC facility and everyone there was so nice. I learned so much!
what does LTC stand for please ? and did u graduate from South Suburban College ? Thank You for your response
LTC means long term care. No I did not go to South Suburban. I took my CNA at Moraine and am trying to get into their nursing program. I have to get a high score on the TEAS test to get into the RN program.
Thank You :stdnrsrck:
