  1. Running Out of Time! Help!

    chicagoing replied to squeeek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going to hedge a guess and say no, you will not be able to complete all of these classes for a May 2011 start date. When is the application deadline? Or does the school operate on rolling...

  2. Anyone here ever failed out of nursing school?

    chicagoing replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry that you failed out this semester. However, seeing that it is a fact that 3 classes were not passed, why would the nursing school believe that you would pass all 3 if given a second...

  3. Has anyone ever put down your career choice?

    chicagoing replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    I'm at a stage and age in life where I don't really care anymore about what other people think of my career choice. I'm going to do what I find fulfilling and makes me happy. I can handle ignorant...

  4. Does where I take my prerequisites matter?

    chicagoing replied to karamarie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there, It seems to really depend on the individual nursing program. I took a peek at the ASU thread, and an ASU student who completes all of his or her pre- and co-req classes (I forgot the term...

  5. General Chem II

    chicagoing replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is general chemistry II a continuation of inorganic

  6. Taking PAX-RN today at college of Dupage anyone else?

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am pretty certain that I know how it works...we use the rubric provided on the nursing admissions website and calculate our points. The top 117 people will receive an offer of provisional admission....

  7. Taking PAX-RN today at college of Dupage anyone else?

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I assumed they would just follow the rank/score sheet. Admissions should tally our points, rank us, and send out offers to the top 117 students. It never occurred to me that they would just use PAX...

  8. Taking PAX-RN today at college of Dupage anyone else?

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What do you mean, you wish you knew what they wanted? I guess I don't understand. I thought we're all aiming for high GPAs, PAX score percentiles above 67% in all 3 areas, and 8 completed classes....

  9. Taking PAX-RN today at college of Dupage anyone else?

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh gee, so I would have had a nice shot at being admitted last year:uhoh3: According to the COD website, the "offering of this program and its schedule is being evaluated and alternatives may be...

  10. Taking PAX-RN today at college of Dupage anyone else?

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, I'm not considering the LPN program since my goal is to become an RN. I honestly haven't thought about what I would do if I don't get in. I have very limited funds and it just isn't feasible to...

  11. Taking PAX-RN today at college of Dupage anyone else?

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I don't get in to COD, I'll probably retake organic chemistry and apply to the UIC BSN. I am not considering Lewis, Resurrection, or any for-profit institution (since I should be able to get in...

  12. ABSN GPA Dilemma!

    chicagoing replied to Kaliangel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not familiar with Samuel Merritt's ABSN program, but I would check with admissions to determine whether they consider the last 60 hours of the undergraduate degree or the last 60 hours of college...

  13. Chemistry

    chicagoing replied to StL_Momma27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, you mentioned that you are trying to get on a wait list, which would lead me to believe that your school is not competitive (grade-wise). If that is the case, I would definitely recommend taking...

  14. USF Transfer Applicant from UC Davis

    chicagoing replied to imoreno91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did you try posting in the California Nursing Programs discussion

  15. Of these Los Angeles schools, which one is least "ghetto"

    chicagoing replied to okiedokie123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Define "ghetto". I am not familiar with the community colleges in California, but as an Illinoisan, I would look at perhaps the NCLEX pass rate for a college, cost, admission requirements,

  16. Taking PAX-RN today at college of Dupage anyone else?

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why does it seem as though we are the only 2 people posting on allnurses' COD threads? Where is

  17. Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I won't delete my Facebook account, but I sure as heck would advise anyone and everyone to cancel those SMS alerts! Who really needs to be receiving texts about what so-and-so ate for dinner, what...

  18. Grammar on Hesi A2!! Please help!

    chicagoing replied to la0044's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One of my pet peeves is when someone will say, "He and I's (insert

  19. Grammar on Hesi A2!! Please help!

    chicagoing replied to la0044's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know anyone (in my own life) off the top of my head who has taken an actual grammar course. Grammar was taught during the middle school years (not high school) as part of the language arts...

  20. NLN PAX RN pre entrance exam HELP!!

    chicagoing replied to mightwannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try to review some basic physics. And remember to work quickly; "mark" the questions that you can't answer right away and come back to them. It's better to guess on one question that you're stuck on...

  21. Taking PAX-RN today at college of Dupage anyone else?

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I still wonder who will be taking nursing 1100 during the spring semester since there is only one available section with 25 spots. I know that many people (myself included) are already registered for...

  22. Taking PAX-RN today at college of Dupage anyone else?

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    But how can that be? Our deadline is Feb. 1. Would COD really be able to rank all of us in time for letters to be sent out two weeks later? (I sure hope

  23. Taking PAX-RN today at college of Dupage anyone else?

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hm...I haven't really thought about that actual day being here. It is somewhere in the far-off future I wonder if the "size" of the envelope will be any indication of a provisional acceptance or...

  24. I just lost my brother, hoping to get some feedback

    chicagoing replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    I am sorry for your loss. I don't have any words of wisdom, but the advice from others who have posted to this thread is great. If anything, keep going with school to keep your mind busy. Talk with...

  25. Did I ruin my chances of getting in?

    chicagoing replied to Curlygirl9195's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've also read that those students whose classes are nearing the cutoff date may benefit from retaking those classes, if only to refresh oneself of key concepts. And as another poster stated above,...
