:yeah:Hey everyone, I just got my acceptance letter last week for Trumans program and am super excited!! I really want to meet people that got accepted as well!!! If you got your letter, post here!

Yes buy it! you need the pockets to carry a pocket guide, money, your stethascope, all sorts of things my pockets are always overflowing. If you take Kipnis she requires it anyway. Plus you will look much better wearing it then not, and you will defi...

The first year at Truman flew by incredibly fast. I cant believe that I am starting second year in a few months, its amazing! I feel like it was yesterday that I was frantically searching the threads here for info on Truman and advice on how to prepa...

Relax Everyone! I do not think you all need to get a CBC, why in the world woud you need that? Why would they need to know how many Bands you have and your RBC count? I did not need one of those when i started last year. I needed to get a titer done ...

Yes just make sure that you never miss class or clinical ever because it will really put you at a disadvantage. Also, make sure that you volunteer to do things in clinical or see things or whatever is offered take it! I would purchase the Fundamental...

Yes Kipnis has class from 9-1050 MW and the other teachers from 11-1250. That is all the lecture for 101 but you also have to attend a skills lab each week. There is a 2 hour skills lab that you have to take each week where you go to the mock hospita...

Murphy goes to Illinois Masonic and Romba I believe went to Our Lady of Ressurection. The hospitals change every semester but Murphy always goes to Illinois Masonic and Kipnis to St. Josephs.

Yes when you register they will ask you what section you want meaning what teacher and each teacher goes to a certain hospital. They will tell you this info in the beginning before you register. Dont forget to get there early so you will have first d...

Preston went to Holy Cross on the south side last year for 101. There is no hospital in Evanston that Truman goes to. Kipnis goes to St. Josephs which is on lake shore drive and Diversey.

I am in an ADN program with the City Colleges of Chicago and they do not require Pharm! It is an optional summer course and I am taking it over the summer, I figured it couldnt hurt. I must admit though, I am very scared based on all of the posts abo...

You can look at the schedule online for Nursing 101 Im not sure when classes are next semester, it was 8-950 mon and wednesday for me. The two books I suggested are not required and not in the packet. They are supplementary books that everyone has bu...

Yes I think that they have a good program however it is extremely disorganized and they have no respect for your time in terms of changing things last minute etc. I have only had two instructors so far, one for 101 and one for 102 and they were two c...

Truman is going exceptionally well. I can answer any questions you have, and in regards to the Pharmacology class it is Pharm 104 that they want the nursing students to take. I am taking it over the summer, it is from 8-1050 on Wednesdays.

Just to clarify, there is absolutely no waitlist at any of the city colleges of Chicago. None of the RN programs at any of the city colleges of Chicago have a wait list. If you do not get in, you have to reapply the next year. They do not keep your a...

Any of the City colleges of Chicago are super easy to get into. I have a friend that had the lowest required GPA 2.7 I think and only got C's in the pre reqs as well as a very low score on the compass test(too low for admission to the program, she ha...

There are no wait lists at any of the city colleges for ADN programs in Chicago!! I applied at all 4 of the city colleges that have RN programs here and got in first try, to all of them! Just a thought...

I received the letter a wekk ago. It said that all incoming Nursing students for Fall 09 were required to pay $290 before the 24th of this month for Testing. It said that we would be given four tests a year, i guess to prepare for the NCLEX and that ...

I think I paid about the same actually. I ordered them all seperately but I also bought the manual of lab and diagnostic tests and a couple other non required books because I read on here that I would need them!!! I also bought the Saunders NCLEX boo...

No, you do not need the ISBN #s. All I did was search for the books and purchased the latest edition available, the names of the book and authors were given to us at orientation so they were pretty easy to find. How much is the book store selling the...

I was accepted for Fall 09 and start on the 24th of this month!!! I am so excited, well anyway, my GPA is 3.2 I believe but I already have an associates degree from another city college and received all A's in Anatomy 226 and 227 as well as Chem 121,...

Oh my gosh thats fantastic! I am going to return these horrid pants immediately. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for answering our questions!!! I have a question about the required uniform that I am hoping you can help me with. I ordered the white pants that are on the order form in three different sizes(from allheart) and none of them fit!! T...

Truman has a great reputation. They are both accredited, but I would pick Truman over Daley.

Yes Im sure their not accredited. Daley and Truman are the only two city colleges that are. My sister is going to pharmacy school, hopefully. She is in her second year of pre-requisites and plans to apply to about 20 schools because its extremely com...

Yeah I know Malcolm X isnt accredited either and I only applied there just incase I didnt get into Truman or Daley, but I was hoping to not have to go there. I am so grateful to have gotten in and cant wait to start!! Did you send the acceptance lett...
