    happyinillinois replied to Blue Cat's topic in Illinois Nursing

    You can't even apply to the Nursing program until you've at least taken Bio 250. It will definately be cheaper to take your prereq's at JJC than at a University, so start by doing that. Compare what...

  17. Anyone taking summer science classes @ JJC?

    happyinillinois replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    That is a heavy load for summer. You might want to rethink it. You need to get A's in all those classes to get into the Nursing program. It might make more sense to slow down and spread it over...
