    2011NursingStudent replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, no no no no...no...do not try it!! (Assuming your summer sessions are about 1/2 the length of the typical session). The nursing prereqs are very, very intensive, its difficult to get a good gread...

  4. I almost got kicked out of my program from ONE mistake!

    2011NursingStudent replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    That's funny how its different in different states - in IL, leaving the rails up is considered restraining the

    2011NursingStudent replied to jbidaho's topic in General Nursing

    You could do a direct-entry MSN program with the previous

  6. Nursing school and insurance

    2011NursingStudent replied to Bleanne00's topic in General Students

    You could buy an individual insurance plan, not sure what state you live in, but I bought an individual Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan for around $200/mo. Also, if you call your general practitioner,...

  7. Should I do CNA or LPN before I go into the ADN prgram?!

    2011NursingStudent replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you picked a great career choice - wish I had taken classes for it right after high school =) The CNA is pretty short, but it usually pays around $10 an hour. The LPN program is usually 1/2...

  8. What do I do? Roaches, no heat...

    2011NursingStudent replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    Uckkkk!!!! That is not worth any amount of money --- what if you get those roach eggs on your shoe and bring them home??? Gah.......keep looking for jobs, there are jobs better than that out there,...

  10. Moraine to Harper?

    2011NursingStudent posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm starting to really freak out. I've spent a decent amount of time preparing for Moraine's nursing program, got a great TEAS score, CNA, took Micro, A&P1 and 2 other pre-reqs and haven't gotten...

  11. Moraine to Harper?

    2011NursingStudent replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Really?? It's rarely full?? That's so strange, Moraine usually has 300+ applicants for 50 or so seats. My situation sorted itself out though, because my fiancee ended up accepting a job in Berwyn, so...

  12. Any College of Dupage nursing students out there? Or hopefuls?

    2011NursingStudent replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

  13. Health Insurance

    2011NursingStudent replied to FutureUofARN's topic in General Students

    You should get some quotes on individual plans - that sounds excessive. I have an individual plan with maternity form Blue Cross and its only $270/mo. ($2,500 hospital deductible, $30 office

  14. How will the new healthcare law in 2014 NOT create more jobs?

    2011NursingStudent replied to xInspiredx's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Providers won't get paid as much, so they'll still be strapped for cash. Besides that, states don't have the money to pay their Medicaid bills now (at least in IL/CA, and some other states), and are...

  15. Disturbing data on Wisconsin

    2011NursingStudent replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    I did see a guy swerve slowly into what would have been oncoming traffic in Fennimore at about 2am once and then just stop there, apparently passed out at the wheel. That sticks in my mind (but that...

    2011NursingStudent replied to NatashaS.'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  18. Interested in becoming a CRNA

    2011NursingStudent replied to knkata's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Why not just skip the EMT and go CNA to

  19. Nurses working without health insurance

    2011NursingStudent replied to linguine's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I purchased an individual Blue Cross/Blue Shield of IL plan for $270/mo... it was cheaper than my employer's insurance and has $30 copays, $3,000 hospital deductible and maternity coverage after 12...

  20. Advocate hospital starting salary for new grads

    2011NursingStudent replied to NoeIssa's topic in Illinois Nursing

    The income tax rate is still around 5% with the increase - if you look up income tax by state, Illinois is in the middle. Wisconsin is 7%. The sales tax is astronomical, but there is no mortgage tax...

  21. Hooters as Job History...Could this hurt my chances of getting a job?

    2011NursingStudent replied to AMD88's topic in Nursing Career

    I think the Corporate Training and the fact that you were on your feet for long shifts are great experience - a lot of people going into nursing (like myself) haven't worked for companies where we've...

  23. new grad getting married..i need advice!

    2011NursingStudent replied to gobucky*'s topic in General Nursing

    2011NursingStudent replied to okiedokie123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ...And oddly, I want to work there anyway =) I've had nothing but a great experience with that hospital, two surgeons literally saved my son from losing fingers because he had artery damage and little...
