  1. New grads at Children's?

    IGiveTheShots replied to gigglebuns1186's topic in General Nursing

    Okay so now I'm getting anxious. Its been exactly two weeks since I applied, and I've heard nothing. Anyone hear back yet? Let me know if you did! I'm seriously thinking about calling

  2. DePaul's MENP questions

    IGiveTheShots replied to bcxllady's topic in Illinois Nursing

    What did you get on the other portions? GPA? Can you get decent recommendations from commendable sources? All of these factors play a role. If you are an overall competitive applicant, there is no...

  3. New grads at Children's?

    IGiveTheShots replied to gigglebuns1186's topic in General Nursing

    That's a good idea, especially if you want to work anywhere other than DC or are applying to other states. Texas is big, lots of hospitals, so it doesnt hurt to have your license there too (just costs...

  5. BSN or Graduate Entry...please help??

    IGiveTheShots replied to mara1419's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I personally went into graduate entry (at DePaul), simply because I didn't see the point of getting another bachelors. If anything, I look much better on paper than a BSN at my same experience level...

    IGiveTheShots replied to boykinm's topic in General Nursing

    IGiveTheShots replied to d'cm's topic in General Nursing

    Please remember: Correlation does not equal Causation!!! You are asking a large population of educated health care workers. The answers will be largely skewed toward non-smokers, regardless of...

    IGiveTheShots replied to voanderson's topic in Illinois Nursing

    So! Here's what I did: I took out a private loan for living expenses my first year - HUGE mistake! I live(d) in the big glass building right next to campus and, while extremely convenient in every...

  11. 2010 DePaul Masters Entry Cohort

    IGiveTheShots replied to voanderson's topic in Illinois Nursing

    No credits will be transferred unfortunately. Our curriculum prepares you for the NCLEX, even if you may have covered some of the material. Just think of it as an easy

  13. 2010 DePaul Masters Entry Cohort

    IGiveTheShots replied to voanderson's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I can't really tell you much about job opportunities aside from the fact that you come out with an RN, MS. The program is quarterly, and you take anywhere from 16-20 credit hours a quarter. Classes...

  14. 2010 DePaul Masters Entry Cohort

    IGiveTheShots replied to voanderson's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Congratulations and welcome!! I'm in the Fall 2008 cohort so I won't be around when you guys start (or are you starting in January 2010?) but I just wanted to extend my congratulations. As with any...

  15. Yikes! Relocating to Chicago Area/ New Grad

    IGiveTheShots replied to whatshername's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I grew up in a suburb about 15 minutes away from Naperville (Downers Grove) and absolutely loved it. We'd go to downtown Naperville for edible cookie dough and ice cream, walk around the boardwalk,...

  16. GEP programs (questions)

    IGiveTheShots replied to veggiemom's topic in Illinois Nursing

    To give you an idea of the amount of hours you are in class (the time you put in outside of class is of course up to you) here is my schedule for this quarter (third quarter of the 7): Monday: Theory...

  17. Question about nursing.

    IGiveTheShots replied to Marzena's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Your best bet would be to call the hospital, probably HR, and see if they offer options for shadowing nurses. Another way you could get in would be to volunteer at the hospital. Good

  18. Looking for an apt in Chicago

    IGiveTheShots posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    I know this isn't exactly nursing related, but I'm a 1st year nursing student who is planning on moving around August to somewhere in the Lincoln Park/Wrigleyville area. If anyone knows of places that...

  19. Looking for an apt in Chicago

    IGiveTheShots replied to IGiveTheShots's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm more looking in Wrigleyville than Lakeview, and the reason I'm moving is so that I don't have to spend as much as I currently am on housing (which is much more than I should be for LP or LV). I've...

  20. Questions about Children's Memorial

    IGiveTheShots replied to greygooseuria's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I dont know details about the freeze so I don't want to speculate, I just know it exists. If its something that may affect you I would just contact HR and

  21. Did anyone go to DePaul University or Loyola University of Chicago?

    IGiveTheShots replied to FoxyRoxy21's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hi there, I'm currently in my second quarter at DePaul, and I could not be happier. The environment here fosters a sense of guidance and security that even my undergrad (IWU) lacked. The profs are...

  22. Questions about Children's Memorial

    IGiveTheShots replied to greygooseuria's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I work as a CNA in ambulatory, so I guess I can't really help you out in those areas, but I will say that CMH is putting a freeze on new hires because of budget related issues. I would still apply, it...

  23. Nursing or Med-School???

    IGiveTheShots replied to kup6's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm interested to know the motives of your decision. Is salary at all involved? I'm not judging, but based on your desire to be a CRNA or doctor it seems to be. If that is in fact the case, I would...

    IGiveTheShots replied to melmarie23's topic in Post Graduate Students
