    Thx :) I know how intimidating it can be starting the PSC nursing program, especially with it's reputation for being hard. I don't mind helping people know what to

    Jasel replied to Nursebetie's topic in Illinois Nursing

  3. How should i prepare for the LPN program?

    Jasel replied to MarieBee7's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'd just recommend trying to get as much R&R before the program as you can and make sure you have everything that's required by the time it's required. Try to hit the ground running and study in...

    Jasel replied to Nursebetie's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hmm not sure what to tell you. The uniforms they had us buy in the fall don't have the patch anymore. I know the class before us had patches though and the ones before them. Mrs. Bulthuis told us the...

  7. Any Prairie State college hopefuls for fall 2012

    Jasel replied to Nursebetie's topic in Illinois Nursing

    We started with 95 at the beginning of the program. Out of that original 95, I think we had about 45 or so going into the final. Some of the students in second semester were returning students who...

    We just had our second semester final today and the grades were posted a couple of hours ago. 55 of us took the final. 34 failed (below 80%) and 21 passed (above 80%). No one got above the 85 - 90...

    Basically they check your blood to see if antibodies from previous vaccinations are still in your system. They'll let you know which specific titers you need when you get your paper

    Jasel replied to Nursebetie's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I know you definitely need it by your first clinical day but try to get it before orientation. I'd recommend getting in the habit of doing things you know you need done ASAP because you'll never know...

  20. Nurse Educator without nursing experience.. (?)

    Jasel replied to bsnwnab's topic in Nursing Career

    I'd really recommend getting some floor experience first. Teaching is not something I've ever really wanted to do myself and it's possible you could still be a good teacher even without any experience...
