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

Yeah, I know Harper requires it, I don't think NIU says until you get the information after you are admitted into the college. I took dr. G's class in the summer actually, I too sat in front of the podium. I really liked his class, he was very helpful. I am taking chm 121 and phi this semester how about you? What else have you taken at Harper in the past year or so? If I do apply to NIU I have to take one more Chem class after this. I know what you mean about admissions to so many schools...I was considering Rush for awhile but I don't want to take the train so that's out. I will Know if I got into SACN by october and then I'll decide if I should still apply to NIU. I am not even sure which is closer to home. It'll be cool to know someone else waiting to get into NIU if I do apply there. We'll have to keep in touch.

Well, I originally went to DeVry persuing a degree in Business Administration and Accounting, after a year and a half I realized that it wasn't for me. I then went back to Harper as a full time student to figure out what I wanted to be when I grow up! :) That was when nursing hit me. I took CHM 110, BIO 101, PSY 101, ENG 100 spring 06, ENG 101 and MTH 101 summer 06, ENG 102, HST 112, AST 101, and PHI 105 this fall. So ya.....I should probably be loading up on the BIO and CHM classes but I really want to get the other crap out of the way....... if that makes sense.

I love Dr. G he was the best teacher. There would be a group of us and we would meet an hour before class and an hour after class just to make sure we really go a handle on the material. He is so dedicated to his job! I wish he taught other CHM classes.

Good Luck with your acceptance!!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Well, when you register for classes drop me a line and i'll tell you who to take. I recommend Andresen for Bio160-161. I hear Holdaway is harder. There is a stats teacher I don't recommend so let me know before you register for that. When you take Dit I recommend Lynn Zmija, I took it online and she was great. I am taking PHI205 this fall. It's late in the evening on Mon. and Wed. I have been taking 1lab class for every 2-3 gen eds each semester and it seems they're never ending, but I wouldn't want to try to take more than one each semester because they require so much studying. Thanks for keeping your fingers crossed for me, I'll do the same for you!

Thanks so much for all of the pointers!!!!!!!!!! I wish you the best of luck, and let me know when you find out that you have been accepted!!!!

Hi Roxy,

Just wanted to see how your semester is going? I applied to NIU last night and still haven't heard back from SACN...should be anyday now. I am kind of leaning toward NIU more now. Their app. process is soooo easy. I am having a decent semester so far...it is going slow. Hope you are having a good semester too.

Hey Jila!!!!!!!!!!

This semester isn't going too bad!!!! I am totally lovin' this learning community that I am taking. HIST 112 and ENG 102 combined - I am rockin' it out with an 'A' so I can't complain. Good luck with the app. at NIU. I am sure you have nothing to worry about! Let me know how it goes. Talk to you soon!

Hi FoxyRoxy,

I just got my letter for SACN and I got in!!! I am so excited. I did finish the app. process at NIU and there is no NLN exam, only a reading comprehension test which you can take at ECC and it was really easy(and free). Other than that they average your overall GPA with your nursing pre-req GPA and that is it. They also dropped the extra chem requirement so after 121 your done. You don't even have to fill out a second application for the nursing school. The admissions advisor told me they only take transfer applicants with 3.5gpa or above.

Keep rockin' out those A's...and thanks for your support!!!

Oh my I am so excited for you!!!!! So how's it feel.... to know that you have been accepted!??!?!?!? NIU's app process doesn't sound too scary. Good Luck on that one also!!! So, there is no NLN Pre Entrance Exam?????? Wow!!!!
