just curious if there are any sudents from harper college here........

thought maybe if there are we can share stories, experiences, what teachers are good, etc..........

on november 2, 2005 i attend the mandetory meeting required before applying into the program.

if the is anyone from harper reading this, is the nursing program difficult to

get into????? are my chances of being accepted good???????? please share your experiences of the nursing program at harper with me.

i guess i am looking for some sort of guidence.............thanks in advance to anyone who can help............xoxoxoxo

just wanted to let you "to be harper nursing students" know that i have been have chosen as an "alternate candidate" for the for fall '06 class. i called harper yesterday to find out where i was on the list and they told me that out of 212 on the wait list, i was in the top 50. however, they would not disclose exactly what number- i really do not get what the big secret is??? they did mention that all 120 accepts accepted their seat, but in the past at least 25-30 students ended up changing their minds before the start of the program.

anyway, good luck and best wishes to you all!

:balloons: congrats :balloons:

that is so exciting!!!! i know someone who also applied for the nursing program and they too are an "alternate candidate". i wish you the best of luck and congrats on your success!!!!

Thank you for the encouragement, but I would not really consider this a "success" until I am officially offered a seat. Does your friend know where she is on the wait list (top 25%, top 50%, bottom 50%, etc...)? I spoke with Harper College again today and they said I am in the top 25%- the person with whom I spoke with said (and I quote), "I can't make any promises, but you are pretty high on the list". That lifted my spirits a bit.

That sounds promising!!!!! I actually have not asked her where she stands on the list, but I do know she isn't stressing over it either. She seems pretty optimistic and said if she doesn't make the 'cut' this year there is always next.

I am not sure if Harper is where I want to go for nursing school. I have been looking into Northern and trying to get all my pre req's done at Harper. Almost all of Harper's classes do transfer there.

I just recently read in the Tribune that Harper got it approved to offer 4 year degrees. They are going to do a pilot program with the nursing and technology departments. The article said it could take up to 2 years to begin. Have you heard anything on this subject? I guess the program would be conjuntion with NIU's. I have asked around and it seems like there are no clear answers.

Hi I am about to graduate from Harper nursing program in 2 weeks!!!

Yeah, It is a good, tough, program. I think for the most part the instructors are good. there are a few that are really tough on the students and should really not be there any longer. I was lucky to get in the program on my first application. My daughter is on the waiting list for fall 2006. Good luck with the nursing program

Hi. I know no one's responded to this post in awhile but I am a Harper student as well. I am just finishing up my pre-reqs this semester. I have liked most of my teachers and have enjoyed my time at Harper but I decided to go into a BSN program instead. Anyway, I hope you all got into or will get into the program!! best of luck!!

Good Luck with the BSN program! Where are you planning on going?

SACN in rockford. I am also applying to NIU as a back up plan. My advisor at Harper suggested it. She said while I was waiting around to apply into Harpers program I might as well take the extra classes toward my BSN degree so I did. She was right, now I have two years left same as if I went through Harpers program. I have to admit I will miss Harper though. I have had a great experiences there. Are you all still taking classes or in the program since your last post? I am taking Chm 121 and Religions of the world this fall.

I have decided to try to get my Associates in Science and then I am going to apply to Northerns Program.

That sounds like a good plan. I am finishing up my Associates in Art at Harper. When are you applying to NIU? Maybe will be there together. I am waiting for the apps to come out in September for next year.

I also am going to try for next year, but there is still so much that I need to do. I haven't even attempted to take the NLN Admissions Exam, I am so nervous about that. I really want to take the NLN Prep Class that Harper offers, so I guess we will see.

Does northern require the NLN? I didn't get a lot of information from there yet, just waiting for the regular college app first. I wonder if we've had any classes together. Last fall and spring I took A&P with Andresen. Chem with Dr. G and Stats with Labeau. I've also taken Dit online and a few other classes. I bought the nursing and allied heath entrance exam study guide. I haven't really started using it though because I didn't need to take NLN for SACN. I have seen the refesher course for the NLN at Harper, it is a small group so they sit in the hallway in Z building and the teacher seems really nice. I think that would reallly help boost your scores.

okay, i just looked over the admission requirements and i did not see anything regarding the nln pre admissions exam. i must have mixed that up with harper's requirements. i have been looking at the requirements for every nursing school in illinois so my memory is fuzzy. in the spring i had chm 110 with dr. g. i think we may have been in the same class! i sat in front of the teacher’s podium.
