Northern Illinois Nursing Program?

Hello to all nurses!

I am currently a freshman at Northern Illinois University and I have already submitted an application for the 2016-2017 nursing program start date. I have a current G.P.A of a 3.85 and I will be finished with all my pre-requisites (except 2 general education requirements) by the end of this semester. I feel confident that I have a good chance of getting into the program and am a little nervous thinking that I will be starting my core courses next semester! I'm only 19 (look younger) and it is a little concerning thinking teachers may try to intimidate me. I wanted to know if anyone has any advice for me. Additionally, if anyone has graduated from NIU's program, I would like to know how some of the courses are!

Thanks for your tips!

    I'm currently in my first semester of NIU's program. I'm 20 years old, and many of my friends are 19. I would say that the instructors don't try and intimate us. We have a wide range of ages (from age 19 to 50), and our maturity is what we are judged off of. I love NIU's program so far, although it's challenging. I can answer questions you may have about first track!

    Save money and go to kishwaukee college for nursing. Obtain BSN on tuiton reimbursement from employers. I graduated from kish, and the reputation and nclex pass rates speak for themselves vs niu. Since you're young I will share some advice-go to more affordable, more reputable. Obtain bsn while working. Just my two cents. By the way, I am an niu employee previously and rn to bsn student at niu, so I solid input.
