1. CNA Textbooks

   Glitter Bug replied to RaeMae's topic in Illinois Nursing

   I have a copy of the CNA book as well if you still need it - however it also came with a workbook that I had to tear pages out of, and do the work so I'm not sure that would help you. Let me know if...

5. Did Anyone Get Their Letters from JJC yet?

   Hi Kimbly9, It didn't take too long at all to get the acceptance/denial letter. I believe it was only a few weeks. Good luck to

   Glitter Bug replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Illinois Nursing

   Conversions are definitely a big part, but there is much more to Chem than just that. The last thing I want to do is discourage you in any way, but I did struggle with Chem. In fact, I had to repeat...

8. ANY from JJC?

   Glitter Bug replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Illinois Nursing

   Hi there, I would suggest buying the TEAS study guide. That will give you a better idea on what to expect for the test. Some people find the test to be easy, and others tend to struggle. I think it's...

9. ANY from JJC?

   Glitter Bug replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Illinois Nursing

   I think any material that I may have left would be handouts and things that you'd end up getting from the teachers anyways - I'm pretty sure it isn't anything that would definitely help you out one...

10. ANY from JJC?

    Glitter Bug replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Illinois Nursing

13. ANY from JJC?

    Glitter Bug replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Yeah, you are correct - You are not allowed to use any calculators for the math portion. I did buy the TEAS study guide and looked over that as much as I could. It was about $40 or so. This is the...

    I don't mind the questions at all.:nuke: My GPA isn't the best. I believe I'm sitting at a 2.9-3.0ish. Mary Beth Luna was one of the advisors I spoke to, and she told me that in order to get into the...

15. ANY from JJC?

    Glitter Bug replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm a JJC student, and I plan to apply (again) to their program. I plan to retake the TEAS in hopes for a higher score, which will hopefully improve my chances of getting
