Thank you so much for this wealth of information. I was wondering what to expect and a bit nervous. I do not work but have 4 children and I am glad to hear that if you work hard it is durable. I got my undergrad this way and have found that I work be...

Hi I am currently applying to nursing schools and have wondered about UIC when I go on the website is it very confusing about the process of applying. I have a friend that participated in the very first class but since that class they now force you ...

Thank u so much for the info! I had no idea that Depaul's program had been around that long. That sounds great that Pharmacology is now offered in two quarters because I hear it is a extremely difficult program. Congratulations to you I am sure u r v...

Hi, I am currently applying to different schools offering these types of programs (Rush and UIC) and I fgured that I would ask you your opinion. I am sure that you must be done or pretty close to completing this program. I wanted to know what was you...

Thanks! I am going to get writing on my essay over the weekend and I had heard that some schools perferred a more technical type and some a more heartfelt one and I was hoping it would be more from the heart.

Hi out there! I was wondering if anyone knew what exactly Rush was looking for in the essay that you are expected to write when applying? I ask this because some schools want technical essays while others want your writing to be mostly from the heart...

Wow, Thank you so much for the response, words can not express how grateful I am. Congratulations on your inpending graduation I am so jealous :-} I wondered about Rush because last year I was told to take one particular nutrition I took it and now t...

I am applying for loans and schoarships for the program because as you may well know there are no more grants awarded after you receive your first bachelors. Most loans are not paid back until about 6 months after graduating from school. The pre-reqs...

Don't worry you will get in what is meant to be will be it just for some reason wasnt your time.

Thank you so much for your help that helps out a LOT! I did get the review book when I was at the school and have been looking it over I ordered a used kaplan nursing book and i have an old net book that I will be looking over. I hope you and I both ...

I don't see there being a problem with your getting it that sounds like a pretty good score on the A2 Congrats and I believe the gpa req. is 2.75. I wanted to ask you a question though, how bad was the A2? I am studying for it now to brush up on my s...

I wish I had someone as well that I could get through the pre-reqs and program with. I had one friend but she has fallen by the wayside and I am determined and not willing to let anything or anyone stop me. I understand as well what you mean about y...

Congratulations Trudy! We women can do anything we put our minds to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brooke, Don't worry if I got through Chem anyone can :-} Congratulations and good luck I look forward to hearing from you on your journey. Tiffini

I dont think that this will be to hard. With my experience I love to take the harder classes in the summer they are shorter, intenser but in most cases if you approach your instructor and let them know that you are willing to work and attend every cl...

This depends totally on the type of instructor that you have. I took it in the summer for 4 weeks M-Fri and loved it. I had a super instructor that went the extra mile she was a microbiologist working on the Herpes virus so you can imagine the brain ...

I have both in my family an Associates degree and a BSN. I was told that the difference is .50cents to a 1.00. Especially with there now being a nursing shortage you have to decide which is best for you. Do you have family, mortgage, etc. Are you wil...

LOL that is hilarious.:-}

First off I will say that this particular patient is lucky to have someone such as yourself that truly cares. I myself decided completely and totally to further my education in medicine after watching my father at age 59 get killed by an area hospita...

Thanks so much for bringing up this topic. I had the same question but now reading your posting and the responses it helped clear up a lot for me.

Hello, I am applying to this program as well but I am now about to tackle my last pre-req (organic chem) which is totally terrifying! I wanted to know was the program really hard to get in I keep hearing these horror stories at least with UIC of bein...

I know you were told to call the school but make sure that when you do you right down the name of the person that gives you permisssion to take a course. I took a course per their ok and am now being told that it was the wrong course and I now have t...

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! For confirming what I already suspected. I have been a westsider for over 20 years and have never heard good things about the nursing programs located at the hospital. It was always said that the nurses there did not ...

Hi Does anyone know much about UIC'S Nursing GEP (Graduate Entry Program). I knew of one person who participated in this program but it is when the program first started a couple of years ago and it now seems different. Can anyone provide me with so...
