1. We got into the CLC Nursing program...now what

   colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois

   Congrats to all of you!!!!! Regarding the CPR class, you need to have taken that prior to starting clinical. Which won't happen for a couple of weeks into the semester. So if there's a January CPR class available it should work too. Double check w...

2. Will I ever hear back from CLC?

   colleenm replied to kiki22's topic in Illinois

   Hi Kiki, I am in 4th semester at CLC now, but I remember being in your shoes. The waiting is TERRIBLE! Seems to me I found out in early to mid November. I remember the deadline for submitting your application was early September. I know for sure ...

3. Has anyone heard of Western Governor's University?

   colleenm replied to StillHoping's topic in Western Governors

   Interesting debate here... I personally am interested in the RN to MSN program. I am currently in my 4th semester of an ADN program. I've been told by many people (co-workers, managers, current instructors) that the RN-MSN route would be a great i...

   Hi Barb. I am in my 4th semester of an ADN program, and my goal is ultimately to be a FNP. I have read several threads on allnurses.com regarding Frontier School. It seems like a wonderful place, and a great online learning environment. There are...

6. CLC students?

   colleenm replied to 15chris15's topic in Illinois

   You have to apply to the program once you have your NLN score complete and all your pre-reqs met. I took the NLN in the summer of 2007, applied to the nursing program by the early September 2007 deadline, and then heard from them in early November 2...

7. Wh-wh-where'd all the CLC students go?

   colleenm replied to ViolettaCCU's topic in Illinois

   Hi ya Kelly! Good to hear from you again. Well, the first thing I realized when we entered 3rd semester clinicals was that it felt more "nurse-like". We were allowed to do more for the patients, and it was cool. You'll have clinicals 2 days per w...

   colleenm replied to 15chris15's topic in Illinois

   You've got part of it right. I did take that A&P class, and I did sit next to Britnee in lecture (between Britnee and Patrick), but Diedra is the one that has the daughter wanting to get into nursing school (she was in class with us too with her...

    I'll be entering my 4th semester of the College of Lake County (CLC) nursing program this fall. Prior to entering the nursing program I went through their phlebotomy certification program (12 weeks). For the clinical portion, at least the hospitals...

    So, how did the exam go?

13. CLC students?

    colleenm replied to 15chris15's topic in Illinois

    I thought I remember something about the fact that you can test out of the first 2 semesters if you're a licensed LPN. This may be old information though, because they are changing the curriculum starting Fall '09. Give the nursing department at th...

14. CLC students?

    colleenm replied to 15chris15's topic in Illinois

    Good luck with the exam tomorrow. I'm sure you'll sail right through it! I'm not sure about the fingerprinting... I don't think we had that - just a criminal background check. Let me know if you have any questions once you review the link. (If yo...

    colleenm replied to 15chris15's topic in Illinois

    First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! It is HUGE to get accepted into the program, so give yourself a great big pat on the back for that. As you've probably heard, the college has changed the curriculum starting in Fall of '09, so you're in for a whole...
