I think I got mine right around halloween in the fall of 09. Good luck!

For 1st semester students, they separate you into 3 lecture groups. The lecture times are 8-10, 10-12 and 1-3. You have lecture twice per week (Mon and Fri) and clinical topics with just your clinical group (approx 8 people) once per week.

The students wear wine (maroon) colored scrubs. You also have the option to wear white. Many students use their phone to record lectures. Some people use laptops during theory to type notes. I haven't really seen much of that at clinical though. ...

Based on what I experienced during clinicals there, I think the nurses can wear whatever they choose. But I'm not sure if that has changed or will changed with the opening of the new hospital.

Does anyone know when the emails about being accepted to the program will go out? I think it probably won't be for a few weeks, but I obsessively check my email!

Charlie Abrams is awesome for chemistry! There are lots of opportunities for points and he is passionate about chemistry. I took Chem 201 with him and he was also teaching organic chem at that time.

Does anyone have any ideas on places hiring nursing students? I will have my CNA license in June, after my first semester is over. But I wanted to try and line something up before then. Most hospitals will not hire you unless you already have your...

Thanks! I will have completed my first semester and clinical rotation (med/surg) in mid May. I would take a pct or cna position to get more hospital and patient experience. Most of the positions I have seen for nursing students want you to be in yo...

A note about the chemistry class at Truman. I took my pre-req's there. I have a BS in Finance and had not taken chemistry since high school. Truman told me I needed to take chem 121 and them chem 201. I ended up testing out of chem 121. The test ...

Sorry to take so long to respond to your question! I am applying to JJC, Truman, and Daley for the fall 2010. I was really interested in West Suburban, despite the bad reviews. Then I found out that they would not take a lot of my classes from my pr...

When I was looking in to West Suburban, I looked for people on Facebook. You can search by school. I sent them private messages and asked their opinion. Most of them responded, and the responses were overall negative. You may want to try that to ...

I applied a few months ago for their CNA program and never heard anything back from them. I did not follow up because there is a slip of paper stapled to the top of the application that states in big, bold letters "Do not call us to ask about the st...

Does anyone have any info on this program? I can't seem to find much info on their website besides general requirements? Any idea of what time of year the program starts? I see their NCLEX pass rate is 100%. Any info is much appreciated! Thanks!

Anyone know anything about this place? I am thinking about doing my CNA training there. What do you think? Any info is greatly appreciated!

Please, please, please share your scores, gpa, classes taken. I too am incredibky frustrated I did not get in and what to know how I stacked up. Thanks!

Anyone have any info on this program???

Jenifu - what classes have you already taken?

The TEAS is changing so I have to take it again anyway. The averages were in my denial email. Can the people who got in please share their application info? I want to know if I should keep trying to get in or stop wasting my time. My TEAS scores w...

The email came this afternoon. I did not get in and am devastated. The TEAS average was 84.6 and reading was 94.9. I had a 93 in reading and 86 overall. I don't know what my exact GPA was, but I had all As except for Psych 101, in which I got a B....

If any of the other applicants are interested, maybe we can exchange phone numbers and or email addresses so we can notify each other to check our jjc email! If you want to do this, email me at mcollins629 at gmail.com

Has anyone received an email yet? I haven't yet!

I don't know what the average was. My average was 87 and my reading was 93. How did you do?

I plan on applying to as many programs as possible! It's difficult because each program has its own requirement (ex. some require organic chem, some require CNA status). I just want to make sure I know about as many programs as possible. Thanks for...

Can anyone think of nursing programs in the Chicagoland area (including suburbs) with a spring (January) start date? I know West Suburban, Loyola, JJC, and Moraine Valley do. Any others? Thanks! I keep going back and forth on what programs to apply...

Has anyone taken BIO 226 at Truman with Dr. Fakhoury? I'm in his summer class now and am just trying gauge what I will need to study for the exams. Any advice is appreciated!
