    Happy New Year to you as well. I'll let you know what I find out when (and if) I receive a response to my e-mail. Let's both cross our fingers and hope that we'll get to do the happy dance

  4. Would you marry a Doctor?

    chicagoing replied to fleurafor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sure there is probably a website for non-physician ladies seeking wealthy physician husbands out there that the OP can peruse. Or how about a sugar-daddy matchmaking website? I've heard about...

  5. Nurses attitudes

    chicagoing replied to DianneJ's topic in General Students

    However you respond, try to keep a cool head. There is nothing to be gained by talking back or getting angry. However they treat you is a reflection of them and perhaps their own insecurities. Try not...

  6. Would you marry a Doctor?

    chicagoing replied to fleurafor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Those intelligent, powerful, rich men will smell you coming from a mile away if you are in love with their earning potential. And unless you have something desirable to offer, you won't have a chance....

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

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

    I wore a faux crossover top that tied in the back and bootcut drawstring pants. The key is to look tasteful, have your top cover your bottom, hem the pants if you need to, and wear pristine white...

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

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

    I had the exact same question prior to beginning my CNA course. I was told to wear street clothes to the first class; our instructor would then cover the specifics of the uniform that was required for...

  9. Fastest way to learn spanish?

    chicagoing replied to USMCseng's topic in General Students

    Not all Spanish-speaking people are from Spain. There is a difference, and it's not semantics. What is this world-wide country literacy survey? And since when is Spain considered a third world...

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

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

    I am not sure I understand what you mean by what are they looking for? I just always assumed that we'll be ranked strictly on points. (?) I don't really have a desire at this time to pursue a BSN. I...

  11. Fastest way to learn spanish?

    chicagoing replied to USMCseng's topic in General Students

    Did you mean Spanish-speaking people? I find the above statement difficult to

  12. Fastest way to learn spanish?

    chicagoing replied to USMCseng's topic in General Students

    Take 6 months off from life and head to a Spanish-speaking country and immerse yourself in its language and culture. That's probably not feasible for most people, but it

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

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

    I think UIC would be a long shot, since I do not have any relevant volunteer experience. I wish I would have taken note of the deadlines...all I knew was that the early decision deadline was sometime...

  14. How Many Hours Of Studing Required For A&P1?

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

    I probably studied 4 hours a week and received a high A in A&P I. I knew other students that would study 20 hours a week and write note cards in 50 different colors and receive B's. It just...

  15. Nutrition, Cellular Biology and Organic Chem... Too much?

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

    I am not too familiar with the the quarter system, but I'll assume you are referring to the winter quarter. I think that achieving decent grades in those classes when taken together is definitely...

  16. Pre Nursing Student JJC.

    chicagoing replied to determined_30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Notes and outlines can differ from institution to institution, instructor to instructor. I found what worked best for me was using a lecture outline (provided by the instructor, if available) and...

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

    Hi, I don't have any new information as of yet (I have not e-mailed Jim R.). I am going to bring my transcripts from both COD and my UG university, as well as the rank/score sheet from the website. I...

    Ok, ok. I inserted the confused emoticon because I am not sure it's a generational thing. Where I live, it very much is

  20. Asking for a change of grade

    chicagoing replied to cookie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't exactly understand why, but the use of the word "need" irks me...perhaps the younger generation feels a sense of entitlement...as in, "I didn't earn the grade I wanted, so I may as well ask...

  21. Asking for a change of grade

    chicagoing replied to cookie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, keep in mind that a grade of "F" is a semester in the making. You could have (and should have) discussed your performance with the professor prior to the final. Why did you post two threads...

  22. cliques in nursing school

    chicagoing replied to sunshine344's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Did you ever speak up and ask the other students for help? ETA: What I meant was did you wait around for others to help you (assuming that if you were kind enough to help them, then those other...

  23. is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

    chicagoing replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    I have found the nursing pre-requisite courses at the community college to be almost a cake-walk compared to the pre-med pre-requisite courses at a top-ranked public university. The widespread level...

    Good for you! Did you find many physics questions in the science section?! I submitted my application online last week. I suppose now someone (i.e. an advisor) will be willing to meet with me. I need...
