  1. Rush/Loyola's Accelerated BSN Program

    I have an undergrad in business and go to DePaul. None of us have BSN to start the MS program. And I "think" but I don't know that the difference is really the MSN can sometimes be also an APN, and...
  2. Rush/Loyola's Accelerated BSN Program

    There is also an MENP (masters entry to nurse pratice) program at DePaul. The DePaul program has been around for 5+ years where the Rush program is new. When you are done you end up with an MS RN,...
  3. Any RN school that requires least ammount of Pre-reqs

    if you already have your undergrad, DePaul does not require a lot of pre-reqs. You must have 2 semesters of A&P (or 2 semesters of bio) and 2 semesters of Chem (pref. org & inorg). Then you...
  4. College of Dupage vs Harper?????

    I took pre-reqs at Harper and really liked it. They have one of the best community colleges in the nation. Their science dept. is new and state of the art. They have a lot of funding, have a lot of...
  5. DePaul Direct Entry MSN

    I was told one semester of each, that is what I had and that is what got me in. I don't disagree, it was a little complex figuring out what each school wanted - so calling is best. I do really like...
  6. DePaul Direct Entry MSN

    I am in the program now. They state 1 year chem and 1 year bio, but prefer A&P for the bio and org and inorg for the chem. Although I did not do the chem that way and got in fine. Yes, 4 total...

  8. Anyone take the train to work?

    it really depends which metra you take. If you come into the loop on the metra, you can transfer to a bus/EL and then get to anywhere - the question is how LONG it will take you to get there. So if...
  9. Graduate Entry

    I started a Masters Entry program in Sept. When I am done I will have a Masters of Science in Nursing - but will not be an AP nurse. I also can take 2 classes and sit for the CNL exam if I would...
  10. Nursing Program Waiting lists??

    I don't want to say either way what is better or worse, but if money is not the issue (which you did not say it was) then I would look into 4 year schools. If you have to take pre-reqs to get into a...
  11. Nursing Program Waiting lists??

    I am not sure about the waiting list - but if your end goal is a BSN anyway- I would just go to a 4 year.... it will be faster in the long-run. And if you are from IL, apply for the legislative...

  13. Nursing Program Waiting lists??

    UIC is a 4 year program, but the other schools you mention are for Associates - do you want a 4 year, or do you want a 2 year? For a 4 year - there is NIU in DeKalb, they have a very good Nursing...

  15. Need help re: trip to Chicago

    The best place to park I think would be Monroe street parking - it is the cheapest at $13 for 12 hours. A bit tricky to get into that garage, but the cheapest option. It is right by Mil.park garage,...

  20. A&P: Really Hard vs. Just a lot of material

    I think it depends. Neither of my teaches spoke english really well. So for me, I struggled with the amount of work, but then trying to figure out what the guy was saying. Once class we spent 30...

  22. some chicago questions

    I have gone to the Chicago City Colleges for my pre-reqs and I must say I was not too happy with the service that I got there. In fact, I could not wait to stop going there. I am not sure where to...
