I was just wondering are there any prairie state hopefuls for 2012 out there?

I got my LPN at Everest College out in Merrillville. Right off RT 30 and Broadway in the Chase bank building :)

Are you working as an LPN now? Do you recommend the school? the waiting lists are soooo long around here in northwest indiana,,,I'm tired on just making on my CNA pay @ a near by hospital.

I have been accpeted Sept 4, 2012 is my start date, I was having 2nd thoughts cuz of how expensive it is, PLEASE give me your honest review.

Specializes in Emergency Room.

I'm currently working PRN at a LTC facility and I worked for 18 months full time at another LTC facility before that. It's a good program and the teachers are excellent. Ya it is very expensive but it is a private for-profit school (ugh I'll be paying those loans back for yeeaaarrsss) so that's to be expected but that was the only downside. I'd recommend it. Now keep in mind I'm talking *specifically* about the Everest college *Nursing Program* in Merrillville off Rt 30 and Broadway. I've heard some horror stories about other Everest College campuses around the country as it pertains to their surgical tech and medical assistant programs.

Hello Ladies,

I know I'm very late in joing this topic.I was searching in Google to see where Prairie State College Nursing Students do their clinicals and I came across this thread. You all have provided some very useful information about PSC's ADN Program. I recently just decided what I wanted to do with my life at 23 and I decided to go back to PSC. The only medical experience I have is in Medical Billing and Coding. However I was very unaware of how difficult the ADN program is. I am still doing pre-req's at PSC and I currently have 42 pts. I wish I had realized what I wanted to do a couple of years ago before having my children. Now I'm faced with the challenge of balancing school and two toddlers. You all seem to be very supportive to one another and I hope you all have had much success with the program. I'm probably looking at applying for 2014 if I meet all the science req's. If there is any more information you all can provide about your information please divulge and I'll be waiting to read about more of your experiences. I'm curious as to the many changes from year to year. Has anything major changed this year that is different from last year's entrance requirements?

O one more thing ladies. Whoever has taken the CNA course at PSC what do you recommend for successful completion? Do we have to order the CNA scrubs from the school as well? Is this class terribly difficult? Who is the best Instructor for this course? I apologize for the many questions but I'm super anxious to get started in the Nursing Program I just want to make sure all of my ducks are in a row.

Hello everyone!

Ok, so i have kinda been reading through some posts and joined because i was googling prairie state college nursing program reviews.

In january i am going to be going back to school. I originally went for Criminal Justice, and unfortunately i didnt really care about my grades i just wanted to get through. Now that i have been out of school for 2 years now i realize it is not what i wanted, and decided to go for nursing :) :)

But was looking for reviews on PSC program, especially because everyone on here is talking about points?? when i spoke with an adivsor i dont remember anything about points?

Any additional help/advice would be greatly appreciated!!
