    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hmmmm... some things you don't already know about me... - I love to watch most sports. I am particularly fond of NFL football, college football, and college basketball. Last year I came in...

    Yes, I was at the Office Max in Gurnee (on Hunt Club Rd.) today. They had the Flex Notebinders there. Also, they have most of their regular binders on sale too. The Flex Notebinders were on an...

    Since we'll be in the class together, mind if I look over your shoulder and share Diedra's book? Vicki, you took the class recently, and I seem to remember that you didn't have the book either,

    Diedra - did you get your software yet? I am probably going to go with the same as you, but want to know what you think of it so far. Also, what made you choose the Taber's dictionary vs. the...

    maybe they've changed this?? i mean, why would they say it is required for nur171 if you won't use it until nur271? not that i'm doubting you, but i'm hoping they have changed something because i...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Diedra, that's the same one I bought last semester. I LOVED it, and it held up very well. It's very convenient because you can add and remove stuff very easily, but because you can flip the cover...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    OK, so even though I am only about 3/4 of the way through the handbook, and haven't even looked at the modules yet - today I drove over to the bookstore because my daughter was there to help me. Holy...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hi all! Well at least I guess the weight of "the bundle" will make it seem a bit more worth the cost. I remember my first semester when I bought my biology book and my Intro to Medical Imaging book...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Absolutely!!! I have my "downer" moments too. But I agree with what Diedra said - look what you've done already!!! As far as the voice recorder goes, I know Patrick (the fidgety guy who sat next to...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hey Kelly. To be honest I haven't even opened the bag since bringing it home from the bookstore. Once I do I'll let you know what it's about. That handbook is enough to try to get through for now!...

  11. Need Advice for working in Illinois during ADN program

    colleenm replied to MidLifeRN2012's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Where in the Chicago area are you? The College of Lake County (in Grayslake - a northern suburb) offers an evening program. I am not sure about what CNA's can expect to earn per hour, but I can tell...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    What a funny story! And I can totally see Carolyn freaking out like that. What a riot. We might do our turkey a little different than some, just because my step family in the south was doing it LONG...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    BTW, has anyone else had trouble getting info from the Bookstore online? I keep trying to check on the books, but I can't even get past the part where it asks you to select the term. There are no...

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

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Yep! We have. After my mom died my dad had a job transfer that moved him down to Georgia where he met his current wife. We've had many fried turkeys down there on many Thanksgivings and have made...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Yep, the band is plastic. My daughter (19) took a look at it and said "You're not going to wear that except work and school, right?" with a look on her face that clearly said "Mom, you are such a...

    Vicki - yes, those are the carpenter style scrub pants. Both places had them acutally. The Cherokee ones from Xtra Credit Uniforms seem a little nicer. They have a double pocket on the leg. The...

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

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hmmm... I'll have to think about that - that's a very clever idea. You always need a place to put the extra papers and so forth. Then if you used a notebook for all you notes it'd be pretty easy to...

    So I sent my hubby the link for the backpack I want Santa to bring to me. (Boy is my husband having an easy shopping year - I'm doing all the legwork! Honestly though, I don't mind. I'd rather know...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hey - is your hubby going along to Austin's or is it a girls night situation? We might be interested in going... I have not even opened the box on the PDA yet. I'm going to do it this weekend. I...

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

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Oh, OK, now I gotcha. Well, last year when I took Phlebotomy they told me I needed titres drawn for Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella (Chicken Pox). (They're not cheap either!) I asked if I...

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Weeeellll, technically only 3 (that someone saw anyhow!). Once in the store, once to show my daugher, and once to show hubby. Although I did try it on again last night myself! I'm such a

    colleenm replied to HospiceRN88's topic in Illinois Nursing

    So I went to Tri-County today and got my "oh-so-sexy" uniform shirt. NOT!!! Ugh! It is SO ugly! But I see what you mean Diedra, when your hubby said it was flattering on the hips. It is a teeny...
