  1. Question re: CC or university...

    Kathyz replied to fmrnicumom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Although both AD and BSN students have an RN, the main difference is that BSN's can move into management positions more easily. Once you get your RN from a community college you may want to go onto...

  2. To all who have/will start classes...

    Kathyz replied to divineeyeam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there. I'm new here too. I will be starting Microbiology today and Organic Chemistry tomorrow. I just finished up with Chemistry and A&PII last semester. I am so glad A&P is over with....

  3. Hired but never called in to work!!!!!

    Kathyz replied to giada23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know you need the $$ and all, but I'm not sure if I'd want to work at such a screwed up place. They treated you badly before you even began working there. Go ahead and start (if they finally let...

  4. Acceptance Letter--Thick or Thin?

    Kathyz replied to tanner523's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll cross my fingers for you. Good

  5. Age/Physical endurance - kind of a dumb question sorry

    Kathyz replied to work4choc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm almost 38 and starting in an accelerated BSN program. I'll be 39 by the time it's done. I have no concerns. If you do what you love that's what's important. Just keep in shape. At your height...

  6. Question re: CC or university...

    Kathyz replied to fmrnicumom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At the top universities in Illinois you need a BSN before you're admitted to a MSN program. So be careful.

  7. Acceptance Letter--Thick or Thin?

    Kathyz replied to tanner523's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was wondering the same thing too. I think it does depend. I would think thick but sometimes it may just be a yes/no letter. They said I should hear in February so only a few more weeks. It's too...

  8. how many of you get others to open "THE ENVELOPE"?

    Kathyz replied to noele1213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Fun2Care, why did you know it would be a denial letter? You never

  9. accelerated program AND full-time job?

    Kathyz replied to Wondergirl0905's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Be careful. I hear some accelerated programs make you sign a contract that you will not work. It's pretty intense. There's no way you can work

  10. Accelerated BSN vs. traditional BSN

    Kathyz replied to Megsd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd push for the accelerated. Better to hunker down and finish it up sooner. They are pretty competitive. Start your pre-reqs and do the best you can. I've been taking 2 prereqs at a time. It's...

  11. Chicago Nursing Schools

    Kathyz replied to olanurse2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in Chicago and am going to Oakton right now for my pre-reqs. Because I have a BSN I'm applying to the ABSN program at Loyola. I think Loyola's an excellent school. I know DePaul does not...

  12. how many of you get others to open "THE ENVELOPE"?

    Kathyz replied to noele1213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm waiting to hear next month whether or not I get into an ABSN program out here in Chicago. I'll probably have my son (15) open it unless it's a huge packet. Or if it's early in the morning I...

  13. Anyone going to OCC? (Oakton Comm College)

    Kathyz replied to Paula7's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm at OCC completely my pre-reqs. I'm taking Micro and Organic starting next week then I'm done w/ OCC. Off to an accelerated BSN program. :) If possible, try to get into a BSN program. You'll...
