  1. Chances of Getting into Nursing School?

    rileowski posted a topic in General Students

    I just applied to Northern Illinois University and they're the only school I'm applying to. I'm worried about getting in or not because I know they accept less transfers than students already at NIU....

  2. I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    rileowski replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    I relate to you so much! I always wanted to go to med school but recently got accepted into nursing school, and I think I may have to decline that acceptance and work on getting my prereqs for med...

  3. NIU Nursing Admissions 2017/2018

    rileowski replied to rileowski's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Also since you're starting soon I figured I should share something I recently found. There is a quizlet page that was created by an NIU nursing student that has a ton of amazing information on it,...

  4. NIU Nursing Admissions 2017/2018

    rileowski posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    I just applied to NIU and I'm worried about getting in! I have a 3.9 accumulative GPA and a 4.0 in prereqs (including stats and A&P and chem) and received a 110/120 on the reading accuplacer, but...

  5. NIU Nursing Admissions 2017/2018

    rileowski replied to rileowski's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Thank you this was real helpful and gives me greater confidence of getting accepted. Northern is the only school I applied to as well so I hope the applicant pool is about the same as it was last...

  6. Starting To Feel Like Nursing Isn't For Me

    rileowski posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay so this will be a fairly long post so get ready! I have been thinking about this internally for a while now. So currently, I just applied to nursing school and in all likelihood will probably...

  7. The Major Diseases Nursing Students/Nurses Should Know?

    rileowski posted a topic in General Students

    I am starting nursing school next fall (hopefully) and I am curious about the major diseases and conditions nursing students see the most of. I know that in nursing school I'll spend most of my time...

  8. Does Hyperkalemia Cause Bradycardia or Tachycardia?

    rileowski posted a topic in General Students

    I can't seem to find a straight answer on this. My book says one thing and my professor will say another. My understanding is hyperkalemia causes the electrical activity in the heart to increase,...

  9. What Else Can I Do For A Living?

    rileowski replied to RNCM123's topic in Nursing Career

    Well I don't know how my my advice would help you since I am only starting nursing school next fall. However, my education and career path is a little nonconventional. I do not plan on being a nurse...

  10. Is First Aid Class Worth It?

    rileowski posted a topic in General Students

    I have a couple more prereqs to take in the spring semester and I start nursing school in the fall. Since I have a lighter workload next semester I was thinking of taking first aid. Will this class...

  12. Nursing Schools That Do Not Require Exams For Entry

    rileowski replied to Lyonda's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school I applied to in Illinois only requires an accuplacer reading exam--no TEAS. It was easy and only tasted you on basic reading comprehension. But most of my friends had to take the TEAS. The...

  13. What did you learn in Micro?

    rileowski posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Microbiology is only one of two prereqs I have left to take next semester. I get the idea of the course "the study of small life" but out of all the material you go over, how much of it was clinically...

    Microbiology is only one of two prereqs I have left to take next semester. I get the idea of the course "the study of small life" but out of all the material you go over, how much of it was clinically...

  15. Just got into ABSN- how to prepare!

    rileowski replied to sfrederick2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently in prereqs and just applied to nursing school so I won't pretend like I know how to prepare for it lol. However, I do have a very similar mindset as you and I am currently preparing for...

  16. The Most Essential Anatomy and Physiology to Know?

    rileowski posted a topic in General Students

    I have gotten A's in both of my A&P classes and plan to start nursing school in fall 2018. But I want to make sure I don't forget any of the important stuff I've learned because I know how...

  17. Prerequisites and Nursing School?

    rileowski posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am almost finished with my prereqs and I plan to start nursing school in the fall of 2018. So I have gotten A's in both of my A&P classes but I want to make sure I don't forget any of the...

  18. I didn't get in

    rileowski replied to Dreamer05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I should have rephrased what I said. I should have said "I disagree with. . ." I type these responses on my phone and I type quite fast. I didn't mean to offend anyone. But I did not want dreamer05 to...

  19. I didn't get in

    rileowski replied to Dreamer05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What I was saying is if you really want to get into one program it's not the end of the world if you don't get in the first time around. As dreamer05 stated she (or he) has a plan and she plans on...

  20. I didn't get in

    rileowski replied to Dreamer05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I'm sorry you didn't get in. Don't listen to the other people on here. I know exactly how you feel. There is one college I have my mind set on for numerous reasons like you. There is a lot of...

  21. I didn't get in

    rileowski replied to Dreamer05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What school did you apply to if you don't mind me asking and what was your accumulative GPA and prereq

  22. Is Nutrition course really the hardest course?

    rileowski replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely disagree with the people that said A&P class is harder than nutrition. Now, the actual material in A&P is more difficult and heavy than a typical nutrition course, but that does...

  23. Northern Illinois University (NIU) 2017/2018 nursing program

    rileowski replied to roj2220082's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I drove to NIU to take the exam but I did not observe any nursing classes. Just be aware that there is hardly any parking near NIU so you'll likely have to park a few blocks away and walk to the...

  24. Northern Illinois University (NIU) 2017/2018 nursing program

    rileowski replied to roj2220082's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. Northern Illinois University (NIU) 2017/2018 nursing program

    rileowski replied to roj2220082's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just applied to NIU as well! I received a 110 on the accuplacer and will have 7/9 prereqs completed by the time they review my application, all with A's. Hopefully that's enough to get in. I was...
