  3. Oakton Community College Fall 2011 program

    luvs637 replied to omonhpy's topic in Illinois Nursing

    People basically pick by clinical site...Your clinical and lab grades are just p/f so I wouldn't worry too much about who the teacher is. People rarely fail clinical unless they act completely...

  6. Chamberlain College of Nursing - Addison

    luvs637 replied to icechick's topic in Chamberlain College

    I don't really think it matters that it is not accredited at this point. I mean if their other campus got accreditation, and this campus has the exact same classes...then logically this campus would...

  7. Chamberlain College of Nursing - Addison

    luvs637 replied to icechick's topic in Chamberlain College

    A school cannot become accredited until after they graduate their first class, so no they are not yet eligible. Even their Addison campus only became accredited within the last several

  9. Rush University GEM Summer 2011!

    luvs637 replied to ninzy's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Would someone who is accepted mind posting what your qualifications were? What was your previous degree in? How much volunteer work did you do or what was on your resume that you feel made you stand...

  10. Looking for ways to finagle my way into ADN program ...

    luvs637 replied to anpvk7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep studying! Something to consider---you said you got a 92 on your first test, well most nursing programs (at least around here) have a higher grading scale. In my nursing program, a 92 would be a B...

  11. First Semester Students, How's it going so far?

    luvs637 replied to mangopeach's topic in General Students

    So far it's going great. We've had 2 quizzes and I got perfect scores on both of them. We already checked off on our vital signs, bed making and baths, and other CNA skills. Tomorrow is our first...

    Sorry, guys! No other reviews from me! The teacher I had for Pharm was awesome to have made those review packets though. I love them and it made learning the material SO easy for

  13. Pharmacology

    luvs637 replied to keishapnstudent's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My teacher has a website with study guides on it. They are listed by body system mostly. They are excellent reviews and do a good job of explaining things in an easy way. The website is www.boyev.com...

  14. Whad I do -- Whad I do??

    luvs637 replied to interceptinglight's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I understand the priority of getting the meds passed, but my perspective comes from working in a hospital where the nurse and cna would both be written up without question and possibly fired for...

  15. Any tips for working a 12 hour shift?

    luvs637 replied to Christine90's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Don't let anyone pull on you when you are trying to help them up from bed or out of a chair. Your back will be KILLING you after 12

  16. Whad I do -- Whad I do??

    luvs637 replied to interceptinglight's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I disagree. You did nothing wrong. Insulin can wait 10 minutes until the linen is changed. Then she should give her insulin, then return to the catheter. No one should ever lay in urine soaked linen,...

  17. Lutheran General or Condell anyone?

    luvs637 replied to netglow's topic in Illinois Nursing

  20. IL Program Rankings

    luvs637 replied to SMOKEY2112's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I wouldn't really trust those stats without knowing exactly what they are based on. Nearly all of the schools in Chicago have very high NCLEX pass

  21. What Illinois colleges are less competitive for getting into nursing school?

    luvs637 replied to bacole86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some of the community colleges don't look at GPA, they focus on test scores. I know Oakton does that. Also, try Chamberlain, I know it says their minimum GPA is 2.75 and I know people who have gotten...

  24. Do most hospitals pay for nursing school?

    luvs637 replied to JoshL's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I don't know for sure about room and board, but I would assume it does not include that. I don't know anyone that has ever tried to use it or needed to use it. Since everyone using the education...

    luvs637 replied to JoshL's topic in Illinois Nursing

    My Chicago area hospital gives f/t employees 4000 a year for nursing school OR the option that they will pay for everything, but you must work there for a minimum of 2 years after
