I was wondering if anyone has information about this school? I spoke with admissions and they do not have a waiting list so all I would have to do is pass an exam and I can start in July. The school is in Addison which would be perfect for me Howeve...

Alright, I am very new to this so please bare with me. I have gone back and forth for years now about going into nursing. Finally, after driving my family and boyfriend crazy about what I want to do with my life, I decided to finish my pre-reqs for t...

I have about half of my pre-reqs done and I am taking my time with the sciences because I really want to get good grades. I also have a child and work full-time so I am pacing myself. I am currently taking Biology 110 and I am having a hard time. I s...

Yes it is intro to bio or Bio 110. It is a pre-req before I can get into A&P and other sciences. I am struggling but I guess I just have to keep on truckin!! Thanks again

Thanks for your advice. It really feels as if she is weeding people out and that is really sad. I don't know what is going to happen but if I don't pass this class I could lose my pell-grant and be on academic probation If by midterm I am still stru...

Wow thank you everyone!! You all gave such good advice. I suppose I could try a different method of studying or join a study group :nuke: Either way, I am definitely going to keep trying. Thanks again

No problem. For starters I would contact admissions to see what classes you could take ahead of time. Check out www.Chamberlain.edu The one thing I could see being a problem is getting all of those pre-reqs in before the start date. Also, the spring ...

Hi I am in the enrollment process at Chamberlain for the July start. I do have some of the pre-reqs already done from my associates degree (not the sciences). They have ASN, BSN, and RN to BSN bridge programs. I also live out your way and Addison rea...

I am undesided if I should spend the next two years taking pre-req courses at a local community college (A &P, Micro, Path etc) I have some out of the way but I really just want to get started in the program. The school I plan on attending has a ...

Right I understand MOST programs work that way. However, this particular school is a school focused just on nursing so they allow students to incorporate general classes in with the program. They check a students GPA from high school or previous coll...

Hi I just wanted to ask you if you took all the pre-req courses before you began the BSn or if you did it with the nursing classes. I ask because I am undecided if I should stay at a community college and finish as many as possible (it'll take me for...

wow thank you. i definitely take this all into consideration. i really would just like to begin the program because i am so excited!!!!! of course i have that little voice in my head telling everything you all said lol. when i look at the first year...

Wow thank you. I am in the same boat when it comes to gpa. I was actually was considering taking my pre-reqs at ECC just to save some money and improve my overall GPA!! I also bombed my high school ACTS from 10 years ago . My appointment is Thursday ...

Hi I am looking into the onsite BSN program at Chamberlain. How did you like the program? Teachers? How prepared for the NCLEX were you? Any info would be really appreciated :heartbeat Thanks!!

Nicely done !! Did you get your BSN? I am planning on transfering to a 4 year. I am now remembering how tough the sciences are. I just need to stay positive and push through. I am only able to go part time for my pre-reqs because I also work full-tim...

Hi everyone, I just started my pre-reqs and I have to eventually take the NLN exam before I apply. I have been taking the practice test in the study guide and I am freaking out because I am scoring horrible on the tests!! Did you guys begin this way ...

Wow thank you very much. I am in district which I think will be helpful. I will definitely aim for ECC over NIU but I will try both JIK. I will keep you posted though!!! Thanks again

Hi I am taking my pre-reqs at ECC and will apply for the program by next August for Spring of 2010. I am stressing out about the NLN entrance exam. Was it hard? I have the study guide but I am doing horrible at my practice tests! What were your grade...

How did you all do on your entrance exams? I purchased this book called NLN Pre-Entrance Exam study guide and have been taking these practice tests to prepare. Now I have never thought of myself as 'dumb' or 'inadequate' when it comes to grasping thi...

Ok I am also considering doing this while in school. I have heard over and over again that NS is extremely intense I have (like the rest of you) bills to pay to survive! How do you go about doing this? I imagine when I am ready to apply I will contac...

I am the same way. I really think my family is fed up with me deciding to do this and then that. The positive aspect is that I can honestly say I learned a lot while bouncing around trying to figure it out. Then you meet those people that seem to hav...

Wow thank you all!!! I really feel better about it. If all goes well I will apply next Feb and begin the program in August of 2010 I'll be 28. Best of luck to you all in your careers as nurses! XOXO

Wow thank you for posting this. I am 26 and scheduled to start my pre-reqs next week for the BSN. The thought of not finishing until I am 30 scares me. I have a daughter that is 4 years old and she will be 8 by the time I'm done. After reading everyo...

Thanks. How is the program so far? Have you decided what you want to specialize in? Arey ou in class with a lot of younger students? I initially wanted to do the ASN program at a community college but the program is so small that people with 4.0s and...
