I did not have to take a CNA course to get into Loyola and I will not have to take one to sit for the NCLEX-RN. I think you may have gotten some incorrect info.

I just hook up this thing called "iTalk" to my iPod and it go. We are allowed to record lectures and encouraged to put our recorders up at a table near the professor while they are lecturing. It is the best thing, I don't have to worry about space and quality is great. I got it for $20 on Amazon.

Hiddencat- I think you didn't understand my post. I GOT IN!!! I am currently on my 4th week. This is a happy post :)

Just an update.... I was thinking about this post and thought it is funny that I am now sitting here starting week 4 at Loyola's ABSN program. Everything works out in the end. Woohoo!! Now if I can just keep my sanity over the next year

Well I start May 19th so I have orientation this week. I am also trying to add some exercise in, get the "office"/guest bedroom in order so I have a nice relaxing place to study. I am going to be off for a week before school starts so I am going to try to stock the freezer with some meals and get a bunch of warm weather recipes together so I have "go to" dinners and plans for dinners.

Like the PP said it is an accelerated program for students who already have a bachelor's degree in another area. It is 12.5 months but is intense, 5 days a week 8am-5pm.

Name: Melissa School: Loyola University, Chicago Program: Accelerated Bachelor of Nursing What area of interest at this time: I am trying to remain open but I am leaning toward L&D or OR. Biggest fear: Failing! This is a huge sacrafice for me and my husband as I won't be working for 13 months. What you'd like us to know about you: This is my 2nd degree, in my previous life I was/am a CPA. I am married and have two adorable furbabies.

I will be quitting to start my ABSN in May. We are strongly advised not to work and I can't imagine working and finding the time to study, etc. Student and private loans will be my friend....

Thanks! Ours our white as well so I think I will probably by 2-3 depending on # of days we will have clinicals.

Hello! I just got my acceptance letter and start in May! We have uniforms we need to buy from a specific site, but no mention was made of how many to purchase. I was thinking at least 2 pairs, but I would love some input. Our uniform is pants, top and clinical long coat.
