    LisaWantsBSN replied to Roxy0628's topic in Illinois Nursing

  3. Chamberlain College of Nursing

    LisaWantsBSN replied to Roxy0628's topic in Illinois Nursing

    HESI A2 is super easy. I took it last year at Chamberlain without taking any science classes and got 92.7%. I bought the HESI A2 book but it is much cheaper to buy from Barnes and Noble instead of...

    LisaWantsBSN replied to Lee2584's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Thanks a lot for the information D. It looks like I won't be able to get a job at any hospital in Chicago as a nurse with an ADN and I can get an MSN but no one would hire me without any experience....

    LisaWantsBSN replied to need2getin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. Chamberlain College of Nursing

    LisaWantsBSN replied to Roxy0628's topic in Illinois Nursing

    tuition was no biggie for me when they accepted me. What was not acceptable was the fact that I have all the gen eds and they wouldn't accept them and wanted me to take them over again. That was an...

  10. Any College of DuPage COD Nursing Students with a bachelor outside nursing?

    LisaWantsBSN replied to need2getin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LisaWantsBSN replied to Roxy0628's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I hear you with only hearing positive things about Chaimberlain but you might consider reading the entire thread that you posted on. There might be something that you are concerned with. Also, there...

  14. Any College of DuPage COD Nursing Students with a bachelor outside nursing?

    LisaWantsBSN replied to need2getin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    yes you need chemistry and the first A&P to apply but then they look at all who apply and see how many of the prereqs are completed and with what grades and then it is on a "point" system. You...

    LisaWantsBSN replied to amanda1229's topic in Illinois Nursing

  19. Chamberlain College of Nursing - Addison

    LisaWantsBSN replied to icechick's topic in Chamberlain College

    They accept the same classes they won't accept from me from NIU, just not SIU, which both have the same curriculum. I already have the bachelor's so at least I can skip that whole thing again and just...

  20. Chamberlain College of Nursing - Addison

    LisaWantsBSN replied to icechick's topic in Chamberlain College

  21. Chamberlain College of Nursing - Addison

    LisaWantsBSN replied to icechick's topic in Chamberlain College
