  1. Rush/Loyola's Accelerated BSN Program

    livingthedream replied to gogatsby's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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

    livingthedream replied to gogatsby's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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

    livingthedream replied to arevalo's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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?????

    livingthedream replied to Samma's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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

    livingthedream replied to ranka's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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

    livingthedream replied to ranka's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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...

  7. Loyola ABSN program - need help

    livingthedream replied to MistryRN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I don't go there, but I know some people that do and I understand they are doing a rolling acceptance now. So the sooner you get your completed application with all of your completed pre-reqs in, the...

  8. Anyone take the train to work?

    livingthedream replied to newish nurse's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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...

    livingthedream replied to shihtzulover's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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??

    livingthedream replied to ohsnapples's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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??

    livingthedream replied to ohsnapples's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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??

    livingthedream replied to ohsnapples's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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

    livingthedream replied to bethin's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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,...

    livingthedream replied to summersent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I got my card. III Litman from All Heart for super sale at $125. I see it at stores for way over that. I love the internet. I was also lucky to find my required scrubs on clearance at a store -...

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

    livingthedream replied to ceraleigh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

    livingthedream replied to Samma's topic in Illinois Nursing

    livingthedream replied to Samma's topic in Illinois Nursing

    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...

    livingthedream replied to Samma's topic in Illinois Nursing
