Hey MLB4 I was wondering, did you ever interview for any of those residency programs? If so do you have any information? Thanks

Hi I'm a new RN, the job market is very tough. I have been applying for job for about 5 months, so many I lost count. Probably over 300. I've applied mostly to new grad postings, maybe about 85% the remaining were regular postings in hospitals, nursi...

Thanks.... i already work @ Advocate and will be graduating in December.... ~fingers crossed~ Hopefully you get good news :)

Do you guys know if there are considering RNs with an ADN?

hmmm it depends, I actually work about 24 hrs per week and on my days off I would study an average of 5 hrs per day for a total of about 15 hrs of studying per week and thats besides the hrs spent reading weekly chapters.

I have just finished my first semester of NS @ Harper, and I loved it. It was hard but doable. I started school with the mentality that it was going to be hard, so I started to study hard from the beginning. The teachers are great and very helpful, t...

I can honeslty say I agree with you, I LOVE NURSING SCHOOL!!! :redpinkhe I am just finishing up my first semester of nursing school, and yes it is very challenging but I just love going to school everyday, I love clinicals, and learning new things ev...

Is it easy to get in the BNAT program at Oakton Community College. I have to get the testing done in two weeks and I am nervous about it. Has anyone recently applied and if so can you offer some help as of what I should prepare myself. Thank You:love...

Hi Girls I have another question , i was just wondering about how much money you spent on your books? I was looking into the bookstore and saw a lot of books plus the nursing bundle for nur110/111/112, are they extra from the ones listed on each of t...

Thanks for the info cityof_wonder, I am so motivated and nervous at the same time. I will start reviewing some of the cna skills cause I haven't used them in a while.

Thxs itsa307 and cityof_wonder for all your great advice. I am so excited to start and although I know its gonna be hard I'm gonna give it my all in order to succeed, it's hard getting into nursing school but the real journey begins when you are actu...

Hi itsa307 Thank you for responding so quickly. I registered for Nur110-Nur111 on tuesday mornings, Nur 112 on Monday morning and Thursday evenings and nur180 on Mondays evening. I'm so glad the first semester doesn't take everyday of the week! Thank...

Hi girls, It's been a long time since anyone posted here, I just wanted to see how everyone is doing in their first semester? I got in for Spring 2011 and I'm so excited yet nervous. I haven't received my official letter yet but I have registered for...

OMG, I JUST HAD TO SHARE THIS..... GIRLS I GOT ACCEPTED!!!!!!:dancgrp: I cant believe it, I am super happy. I can't wait for Spring 2011 to come, I already registered for classes and spoke to my boss regarding my new schedule since they are willing t...

Hey emiliisawesome Congratulations on your acceptance Thank you very much for responding, I am so worried about getting into the program because I have already been denied admission once, not at harper though. I want to get in already and start my w...

Hi guys, and congratulations to all that got in. I have just applied to harper and I'm waiting until after December 20th to get a response. I hope I get in for Spring 2011. Can anyone that got in tell me what the average score to get in is? I am so n...

Hey, I am trying to apply to Harper, I see they have extended their deadlines, I was wondering if anyone of you got into Harper. I just visited their website and saw how they calculate their applicants. Do you know what the cutoff is? I know the high...

Well its somewhat discouranging but not the end of the world, i just have to retake the nln and try to score higher. I am not too good at math so that may be where I may need to get some tutoring for . I did not apply for Spring session b/c my nln sc...

Spring semester is very hard to get in because you have to get a really high nln score, I would have to say a minimum of 94% and up. I talked to an advisor recently and she said that all student information is entered in the system and the computer s...

I took all of those classes in Spring semester, it was pretty hard but not impossible. Pharmacology is a very hard class and I think it's better to take after both A&P are done because pharmacology is all about how the drugs work in the your syst...

I am also taking Micro over the fall and the book we'll be using is "Microbiology an Introduction by Tortora". I am really looking forward to this class as is my last pre-req... yey....

I am currently 23 yrs old and wanted to be a nurse since I was in high school, however I didn't think I was capable of doing it and never went with it. I actually got talked out of my dream by an advisor from a University that talked me into going to...

Hey fulloflifelove, I am actually looking into the lpn program at the humbolt park location through carreras de salud, since you went there do you mind sharing your experiences of the program. I was told I was a very strong candidate and that it was ...

Ok so after reading through this thread, I've gathered some usefull information to help me prepare for my upcoming nln test. This is the second time I will taking this test because the first time wasnt good enough for my school. I received a 119 comp...

I might be kinda late @ answering your post, I had commented previously before I took the nln. However I took the nln and obtained an 119 composite score or in the 81%! I applied for the nursing program for fall 2010 along with a friend of mine who g...
