    And if it is ONLY 79% on 4L then your first priority action is to turn up her O2!!

    luvs637 replied to zpb72000's topic in General Students

    I saw that it says 79%, but after that it says she was placed on 4L. It should be higher than 79% on 4L or she is in real

    luvs637 replied to zpb72000's topic in General Students

    luvs637 replied to cbrennan1188's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I would say your chances of getting in are pretty high due to your masters GPA and extra-curriculars. When did you take A&P though? Alot of schools would like to see it taken recently and with a...

    luvs637 replied to cantbeagoddess's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Personally I never did NCLEX questions. I would just study the powerpoints. I worked for a few years as a CNA in a hospital, so a lot of the stuff in 104 came easily to me. I have heard that 104 is a...

  8. Oakton Community College - NLN and admissions

    luvs637 replied to cantbeagoddess's topic in Illinois Nursing

    The teachers write their own tests, but like I said, nothing in 103 is difficult. They are trying to get you used to being in the program, not challenge you. Everything is common sense for the most...

    luvs637 replied to cantbeagoddess's topic in Illinois Nursing

    The info in 103 is pretty much common sense. I don't think anyone ever fails 103. 104 is the class to worry about more. Do you have to do the community project for 103? When I took the class each...

    luvs637 replied to Chris99mu's topic in General Students

    I am in the exact same position as you--previous Bachelor's, doing ADN, 1/4th done, guaranteed a job....EXCEPT now my floor manager is leaving. So makes me wonder where my "job" is going to be. The...

  14. Anyone been told a lie about making money as a CNA?

    Yea, I mean all of that stuff certainly helps! It can't hurt!! My bf graduated from UIC and he really liked it there. The dean was referring to the graduate entry program. The national ranking for...

  16. HELP! Nursing Programs in Illinois. HELP!

    luvs637 replied to MaleCNA87's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Honestly I would say that UIC is not an option. I heard an interview with their dean on the radio last year and he said that they had over 16,000 applications for that programa and 4000 of the...

  22. Possible to work full time and go to nursing school?

    luvs637 replied to rbk8's topic in Illinois Nursing

    No, I have never seen a school that offers weekend classes only. Maybe that would be an option if you just wanted to go for your LPN. I am only taking classes for Nursing right now, I also have a...

    I would get the CNA certificate because many of the nursing programs in the Chicagoland are require it, especially the community colleges. If you work as a CNA in a hospital, you will see much more...
