hi im in the chicago area and looking for a bridge to rn and i saw that u know about a school in chicago and is 9 months long. id like to know what school and any other infor pls.

yeh theres northwestern institute of health and technology they offer the lpn program for night students and its in the north side of chicago by lawrence and pulaski i went there and they were pretty good but it cost alot like around 14,000 or so and then theres dawson on the southside and i think theres more out there but there is a waiting list if you want more info just msg me. hope this helps

i just did my first shift as a nurse and it was really tough and thank you for the tip on bringing a notebook bc that really helped. its good to have nice caring experienced nurses willing to teach us young nurse a thing or two about nursing. thank you

thanks for the tips everyone

Marci im sorri for your loss but i think she'd want you to finish your schooling. i know its gonna be hard in class knowing shes not there with you but shes in a better place. we cant control god's plan for us, but all we can do is live life to the fullest. may be it would help if you took a couple days off if your school permits and just think of happier times you had with her and know that she'd want you to finish your schooling no matter what. i hope this helps. take care jen

hi i just accepted a position at a nearby nursing home in illinois if filled out an application and got an interview right away with the don and she was very pleasant. and then she offered me a job and said that i would have 2 weeks orientation and get $20/hr. the place seems like a nice place and my dad work there before as a cna and he said it was a nice place to work at. im really nervous and i dont want to look like an inadequate person on my first day. so im asking for any tips? and if they just hired me bc theyre really short and are desperate? and how should i prepare myself on my first day?

what kind of facility do work at if you dont mind me asking

yeh i cried too when i got home. i hope i passed and i hope you guys passed too

thanks ill try and stay positive. i hope u pass the next time around. its just torture rit now that i have to wait 48 hours.

i just took my nclex today in chicago and my computer shut off at around 150, the questions were really hard and im soo worried that i didnt pass bc i went to take the test with 2 of my classmates and theyrs stopped at around 85. im really nervous bc i feel like i didnt pass. i studied hard but when i got the test center my mind went blank. i hope i passed.
