  1. L&d, post-partum, Nursery rotation

    Lacie1221 replied to Krichar4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We rotate between L&D and mother/baby - we have a level 2 nursery but rarely have babies in there. When new nurses start, they are oriented to M/B first and work there for 6 months-1 year before...

  2. Base pay from suburban IL

    Lacie1221 replied to LMD3's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I can tell you that Centegra (about 30 min. north of Streamwood - very reasonable commute) pays new grads $28/hr starting. I have no clue how much/if that increases with experience, but I have heard...

  3. Email to Manager of Clinical Site - Help!

    Lacie1221 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I am graduating from an ADN program in December. We are currently in our OB clinical rotation - I've had a great experience, and all I've ever wanted to be is an OB nurse. I need advice on what I...

    Lacie1221 replied to Meg1992's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I talked to Connie Uehlken in the department this afternoon - the reason I got turned down was because 12 years ago, I flunked out of Iowa because I was really depressed and not getting treatment....

    Lacie1221 replied to Meg1992's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I didn't get in. I don't understand how someone with a 4.0, a near perfect Accuplacer, and all prerequisites complete doesn't get accepted. I wish you all the best of

    Lacie1221 replied to Meg1992's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I had orientation today. Found out some bad news - even though I sent in the transcripts they requested, and even though I verified before the deadline that I had submitted everything they needed,...

    One of the sections I wanted is full now. Poop. Orientation is Wednesday, I hope I know by then so I can

    I'm going to have to start popping Klonopins if that damn letter doesn't come

    Lacie1221 replied to Meg1992's topic in Illinois Nursing

    It's about an hour drive, I live in Crystal Lake. The main reason I was hoping to keep it to 2 days is that it would be one less day to have to find childcare! At least Thursday will be a half day...

  14. 2013 NIU nursing students (prospective!)

    Lacie1221 replied to Meg1992's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I built a schedule - looks like I'll be driving in 3 days a week. If I get the classes I want, I'll be on campus Monday noon-7:30pm, Tuesday 8am-4pm, Thursday 8am-11am. I wish I could get that...

    Lacie1221 replied to Meg1992's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I don't have that. I'm so confused. I did register for Orientation on the 17th, though. Kind of annoyed that I waited so long to register and had to do a Wednesday - I'm going to have to miss my...

    Never mind, found it. How can you tell which classes are required the first

    Lacie1221 replied to Meg1992's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Where does it say that? I don't see anything on mine that says that - it just says that my major is Pre-Nursing. Dear lord, I hope I didn't screw something

    Lacie1221 replied to Meg1992's topic in Illinois Nursing

    How many clinicals do we have to do? I'm hoping to get my schedule compressed into as few days as possible for childcare/commuting

    Lacie1221 replied to Meg1992's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Yes, I accepted admission last fall to get my transcripts evaluated and all that jazz. The orientation thing is bugging me - I have SO much stuff going on in July already that I would love to do the...

    Lacie1221 replied to Meg1992's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm here, (im)patiently waiting for a letter! NIU is the only school I applied to so I'm kind of screwed if I don't get accepted. I have a 4.0 and got a 118 on my Accuplacer, though, so hopefully I...

  21. Is it possible to take Anatomy & Physiology I & II together in IL or WI?

    Lacie1221 replied to aevalenz's topic in Illinois Nursing

    A friend of mine took them together at Elgin Community College last year - I assume they're still offering

  22. Where's everyone applying? Fall 2013

    Lacie1221 replied to caril4's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm only applying to NIU. I have a 4.0 GPA at the moment - I'm taking Chem and A&P2 now, and will take Stats in the spring, and then I'll be done with
