If you already have a BA, getting an ADN may not be the shortest or most logical route (depending on whether you may want to go further in the future). There's a lot of direct entry programs that you...
That's a bummer! All the schools that I was considering applying to and the one that I actually did, let you apply as long as most of your sciences are completed and you have a plan of action to...
I really feel so bad! But there's gotta be a way for you to find out the "possibilities" today. I know it's only a day and a half away, but I personally know how that could feel like an eternity! Is...
At the time I was looking (March 2006), I had just missed the deadline for Fall admission- I, too was looking for a Spring admission program. Unfortunately, I didn't find any. I only turned my...
To my understanding after going over my notes from the nursing departments, checking the website just now, and phone conversations from just a month ago, the City Colleges of Chicago (or at least...
Yay misserlizzer! Someone I have something in common with... so you must know why I'm taking the physics and calculus then? Already trying to enhance my potential CRNA application and I haven't even...
You may have to take some of the sciences over again, but the good news is once you have a Bachelors (if science oriented) you can usually get a BSN in 1 year. Check around in your area, you may be...
I'm taking Physics and Lifespan 1st session and A&P II and Organic (Survey- so it's a cinch) second session... and sshhh... don't tell anybody- college algebra (already had it and Trig- both A's,...

No, it's actually in addition to their high school credits. And like the post above, they are bussed to another location after their regular high school day is over to attend the

I, too have the same worries as you. I talked to the director of the program, Dr. Webb, and she seems very nice. From what I've been reading about the program, it's had very good results. There's even...

Thanks so much everyone for the info! For the posters that asked, we're in Illinois and this is thru the Chicago Public School system. She brought home her paperwork today and is super excited. And...

Thank you so much TheCommuter. After she's an LPN, what are the options/routes that she can go to become an RN? I'm assuming she wouldn't have to start over from
Sarah09- first thing- take a breath sweetie. It will be okay! I agree with the posts above. I, too, took on a lot for my family as my mom was a single parent and needed my help. But you have to think...
I don't go to Depaul, but from what I heard they have an excellent nursing program. From prior research I do think they have the CRNA program, though not downtown... give me a minute- I'll find the...
Well, give Andrea Schmoyer (at UIC) a call tomorrow. I know that they do send an email of acceptance before the actual letter. Good luck!! Maybe you'll get an answer from UIC before April
Not to sound stupid, but what is a summer externship? However, from experience- taking the train is definitely cheaper (especially if summer externship students get the
Well, when will you have to let either school know of your acceptance? I ask because I know for those that applied in January for UIC will get a decision in a week or
I got accepted to UIC for this Fall's BSN program and there was no CNA certification required- and UIC is the #1 nursing program in Illinois and #3 (or 4 I can't remember) in the US. If I didn't get...
I agree with the hurdles... I called there last year to inquire about the program since the catalog doesn't give you much info. After calling 5 times with no reply to my voicemails, I called and got...

This is so freakin' pathetic! It hasn't happened to me, yet I'm furious. I'm an African-American and as my mother says "should've been a hippy because of my desire to 'make love, not war'" But that's...
DON'T DO IT!!! The program was to start for the first time this year (I think February if memory serves me correct). I went to their very 1st open house for the program a few months ago. I was so mad...
Ok, just my 2 cents. I have heard that my University is highly competitive (notice I said "heard", I really don't know the actual statistics of UIC- University of Illinois Chicago). From what I...
