  1. Tuition Reimbursement

    In regard to tuition reimbursement, is the benefit available immediately, or are you required to wait a specific time frame before utilizing it? What hospitals in and around the Chicago or north suburbs support additional education for their nurses?...
  2. CNA needs help paying for LPN

    The name of the program is the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). You have attend an information session, orientation, testing, and meet with a career advisor at your local unemployment office. Participation is based upon your work history and skill set...
  3. Backpack that can hold 6+ books?

    I think it will depend on how large the textbooks are and if you're carrying a laptop as well. I use this version by ebags and it is indestructible and comes with a lifetime warranty. There are numerous pockets and it converts to a backpack when nece...
  4. New and Need help with my schedule

    I would hold off on the biology, one semester won't kill you. Focus on your writing and math skills, as both are necessary for the courses you'll need to take. Dependent on the instructor, biology can be a cakewalk or a pain in the butt. Given the fa...
  5. New and Need help with my schedule

    If you're taking a full load both semesters, when do you plan to study for your GED? Unless your writing skills are extremely well, you may want to hold off on any course that will require papers and such until you have taken your introductory compos...
  6. Anyone taking Biology summer 2008

    This has been the night from hell. I incurred website problems during my medical terminology exam. Ten of my answers failed to register. The answer sheet started blanking out. I am so frustrated. I don't know if my instructor will permit me to retak...
  7. Anyone taking Biology summer 2008

    LOL! I haven't tried that yet. Is anyone else losing weight? I'm down nearly 15 pounds since school began.
  8. Health insurance during nursing school

    Have you used this service before? It would appear that they disclose that the information would be shared with the insurance companies listed. I'm assuming that most people seeking a quote are considering a purchase. The purpose of posting the websi...

  10. Anyone taking Biology summer 2008

    You're not alone. My house leaves much to be desired and I have reconciled myself to the fact that cleaning won't happen for a couple of weeks. I researched a cleaning service and will be trying them out. With a busy schedule spanning seven days per ...
  11. Anyone taking Biology summer 2008

    This has been the week from hell. I've had a bronchial infection that won't quit and searing pain that may be stemming from my occipital nerve. These things are coupled by the fact that a computer glitch and a mistake on the registrar's part inadvert...
  12. PCCTI LPN School?

    I sincerely believe they bit off more than they can chew. I attend Oakton at present and they are far more organized and professional. This school is very loosely run and the conversation is likened to what you would have in the company of close frie...
  13. PCCTI LPN School?

    My experience was at the downtown location. I can't speak for the others. Several people students were in the office while I was there. I do recall a fee of $25.00 if the test (HESI I believe) is not passed. I think they allow you several opportuniti...
  14. PCCTI LPN School?

    Interesting comments. I visited the school a month ago and sat for nearly twenty minutes while idle chatter occurred and phones were answered. I was never assisted. It left a very strange taste in my mouth and the impression I had was that things we...
  15. Anyone taking Biology summer 2008

    We're currently on chapter 3. We began last Monday. My professor is very easy going and we will not cover the full text. His lectures provide the material that we'll have on our exams. We presently have four exams scheduled, three 500 word journal ar...
  16. Anyone taking Biology summer 2008

    i think studying and class attendance is a given, but it is impossible to know what to expect unless you've spoken to the professor. my summer classes are not intense, or at least don't appear to be so. the pace and material covered is largely depen...
  17. How many classes and what classes are you taking?

    As if my summer schedule wasn't enough!!! I have a three week break before the insanity begins again. This may be why my knee is aggravated. I need to sit down, so says my physician EKG instructor. :chuckle Fall 2009 Human Anatomy & Physiology ...

    These are the classes I'm taking for the summer: May: 3-week Algebra course (based on the 16 week version) June: ECG training (8 weeks) Algebra (7 weeks) Psychology - Human Development (web) 7 weeks/16 week version Medical Te...
  19. What to do while you wait?

    I compared the requirements for the two year and four year programs, and made certain that my course selections covered both. I will be relocating for nursing school and plan to attend a BSN/MS program and return for a MBA upon completion. I 'm think...
  20. Would A&P 2 help replace a low grade in A&P 1?

    Drop the class. A&P II over the summer would be an accelerated condensed version of the normal semester/quarter course. You will probably be in over your head and would risk doing poorly and ruining your gpa. So, here's your options. Audit AP I ...
  21. phlebotomy tech

    The answer would largely depend on your interests and finances. If you're funding this out of pocket, you'll probably want to start with CNA training. Finding a job will be easy and it is likely that your employer will provide you with the additional...
  22. Anyone taking Biology summer 2008

    I'm taking Biology 121 - General Biology. It is the section slated for science majors. I was originally registered for the easier course but I changed due to a time conflict. It was a great decision. My professor is very laid back, straightforward, a...
  23. NYU Clincals

    I think we're getting our wires crossed. *s* I'm applying as a full-time undergraduate student for Fall 2009. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to begin my clinical classes at that time if the non-nursing courses had not been completed. NYU doe...
  24. NYU Clincals

    NYU requires completion of non-nursing courses prior to clinical. Is it possible to begin the clinical classes in the spring? It appears that I have one extra semester of study before entry into the program. In regard to employment, is it possible, o...
