Hi everyone! Starting a thread because I really need some advice! I am planning to move to Chicago to start an ABSN or DE MSN program fall 2025. I absolutely love the city of Chicago and I have the end goal of becoming a nurse practioner. I am grateful to have been accepted to 3 great programs -Elmhurst MENP -Rush GEM -Loyola ABSN I am very conflicted by which to attend. I visited both Rush and Loyola and was so impressed by both for different reasons. I wanted to see if anyone has specific experience with each and has recommendations.

Hi everyone! I was admitted into the program for Fall 2025 this week. I am hoping to get some information from everyone about what they know about the program. I find it hard to get a hold of anyone in admissions. * How big are the cohorts? * How rigorous is the program and what is the schedule like? *Do they offer financial aid not in the form of loans (scholarships, etc) and when do we get a financial aid package and how much does it actually cost haha? *Do they offer housing opportunities for ABSN students and how much are these? *Is there a lot of involvement among students in the program? *What is the acceptance rate?
