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

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

    So...how did it go? I was wondering if COD canceled the exam due to the terrible traffic

  2. Ridiculous, overbearing restrictions on volunteers

    chicagoing replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just because a person can (do x-y-z skill), doesn't mean he should if he is not

  3. Ridiculous, overbearing restrictions on volunteers

    chicagoing replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe I was addressing your point that nurses can pass on "menial duties" to the commonfolk. I don't believe I even mentioned physicians. Even the most brilliant physician can make a costly...

  4. Ridiculous, overbearing restrictions on volunteers

    chicagoing replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hm...if my loved one were to die as a direct result of a nurse passing on "menial" duties, then I'd sue that hospital so fast they won't know what hit them. It's better to be safe than

  5. A&P Scheduling..HELP!

    chicagoing replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely take the course with the better instructor. You will learn much more and in the process, probably end up enjoying your time in the class. I'm envious, though, that you may have the...

  7. C.O.D LPN alternate list

    chicagoing replied to 2ndshot's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Thanks for the link. I don't quite understand how to determine which 8 classes COD will consider for the GPA calculation. I should probably just make an appointment with an advisor once I start my...

  8. Wow- Aced A&P I and Stats!!! 2 More Finals to Go!

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

    Great job! Although I have read quite a few of your posts and know that your A's are a result of old-fashioned hard work (and not

    Is the link supposed to be AmeriCorps

  11. tattoos?

    chicagoing replied to cgravier's topic in General Students

    I'm not in nursing school yet, but I know plenty of nurses who wear long underwear under their scrubs for when it's cold outside and/or in the facilities in which they

  12. Took the NLN-Pax-RN / Anatomy I didnt fair so well...should I retake it?

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

    I just sent you a

  13. Took the NLN-Pax-RN / Anatomy I didnt fair so well...should I retake it?

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

    How many points do you think you'll have if you *don't* retake the PAX? It doesn't seem as though you'll have much more of an advantage, even if you score higher than the 65th percentile in all areas....

  14. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

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

    You have a good point there (last sentence). Your post gave me a chuckle. Thanks Sign me, Insecure, High Strung, and

  15. Took the NLN-Pax-RN / Anatomy I didnt fair so well...should I retake it?

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

    Have you taken a look at the ADN Admission Worksheet yet? I don't quite understand how to determine GPA calculation. The max. number of courses that will count is 8. 1. English 2. Speech 3....

  16. Night or Day nursing programs

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

    I think that the students who would be most likely to choose the night program are those who are older than the typical college-aged student. These students may hold part- or full-time jobs during the...

  17. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

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

    Actually, that is NOT irony. Please re-read my post. I never did judge you. I asked simple questions, that's all. I believe you were accusing the OP of judging the "level of competency" of the class....

  18. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

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

    I fail to understand your logic. The OP is "jealous" because she has an "A" grade and the others may or do not? The OP is "selfish" because she wants to maintain an advantage come admission time over...

  19. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

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

    I feel your pain. To work your butt off the entire semester for a good grade, only to receive a take-home exam near the end is a bunch of bull. No one really knows if students will help each other,...

  20. Anyone applying for Fall 2011 at College of Dupage?

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Thanks. Good luck to you too. I am currently looking through the review guide; the physics doesn't seem hard, but I haven't taken college physics in many

  21. Anyone applying for Fall 2011 at College of Dupage?

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I am taking the PAX on Dec. 11. I am perplexed as to why physics is included on the exam, since physics is not a pre- or co-req for this

  22. I need free money for school any ideas?

    chicagoing replied to jolie bebe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Add me to the list. I would also like to know where the Easter Bunny lives. Sorry, is this a serious

  23. C.O.D LPN alternate list

    chicagoing replied to 2ndshot's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Lisa, Do you know how COD allocates points for admission? Are science classes weighted more heavily than non-science? Would I be able to contact the adviser to determine my point total before I...

  24. how does the grading system work at your college?

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

    The community college that I am currently attending uses the 100 point scale, with 60 = D, 70 = C, 80 = B, and 90 = A. I prefer the +/- system, because it is a more accurate depiction of a student's...

  25. Do I need to get started on a Associates Degree before RN pre-reqs?

    chicagoing replied to lina.561's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The Associates Degree of Nursing (ADN) will allow you to sit for the NCLEX (which will lead to your becoming an RN). This associates degree usually can't be started until you are actually admitted to...
