2. Moraine bound...please help!!!

   AspiringRNin09 replied to yuyu75's topic in Illinois

   Hiya yuyu, I just transferred out of Moraine due to the fact that the amount of people and available seats in the RN program there is an absolute joke. Last semester I was told directly by admissions that there were 875 applicants for 50 seats. I als...

3. Chamberlain College of Nursing

   AspiringRNin09 replied to ohsnapples's topic in Illinois

   ohsnapples, I too was going to apply there, but I was seriously turned off. Do a forum search and see what people have said about the school. Basically you are paying a TON of money to teach yourself nursing. I would think with that amount of work yo...

6. be kind to your CNAs

   AspiringRNin09 replied to AuntieRN's topic in CNA/MA

   I will never understand why some nurses think CNA's are second class citizens. At the hospital I work for I would guess that 65% of CNA's are nursing students. When I worked CC I had a nurse who walked out of a patient room, hunted me down, and asked...

7. Gross Out Co-Worker

   AspiringRNin09 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

   MY two cents... I work in a Central Telemetry room. Mind you this room is about 10x6. With a window that they bolt shut to keep the room "climate" controlled for all the pc's that we use. I have TWO coworkers that fit the bill with what you are talki...

8. Phone screen (interview) a good sign??

   AspiringRNin09 replied to chelli73's topic in Illinois

   Hi Chelli, I had a phone interview once with Edward Hospital in Naperville. The only thing that came to mind while I was on the phone is it seemed like I was in the actual first part of an interview without having to be there. You know, where they as...

   AspiringRNin09 replied to Kathyz's topic in Illinois

   Hi Kathy! I work for Advocate and there are several people who I work with who have advanced degrees and they are switching to nursing. I do not think that Lutheran General would look down on you in ANY way because of that. One thing about Advocate ...

11. Help! How do you stay awake on drive home after night shift?

    AspiringRNin09 replied to neetnik461's topic in General Nursing

    I am not yet a nurse, but a Telemetry Tech and a Paramedic. The thing that works the best for me after working a evening/night double is a cup of coffee at about 6am. Since I am a caffiene junkie this never disrupts my going to sleep. By the time I g...

    Prarie State has a great LPN program, a friend of mine just graduated and is in the process of bridging to RN. She has nothing but great things to say about Prarie State. Good Luck!:nuke:
