  1. Other Students Repeatedly Asking me for things....

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

    I should clarify that the students who I will not help are usually skipping multiple classes. I have a hard time helping anyone who tells me that she is skipping class to study for another class or...

  2. Community Health at UIUC or Nursing at Lakeview?

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

    I don't have much insight regarding community health at UIUC (but I am a U of I grad), but have you considered applying for the nursing program at Parkland Community

  3. Other Students Repeatedly Asking me for things....

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

    I've been in similar situations...my answer is simply, "No, I am not able to do that at this time." (...or ever!) I don't mind sharing notes, but I will not be a note-taker for the lazy students who...

  4. Easier Admission?

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

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Thank you for your response. I was acquainted with a student who was accepted to the Fall 2010 program who told me that she knew of someone who was admitted with just the pre-reqs completed. I...

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

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I did read the packet and the Powerpoint presentation. The way I understand the information given, the applicant needs to have all 6 steps completed before their application will be evaluated. That...

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

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I guess I'm not quite following. COD is encouraging prospective students to submit incomplete applications (i.e. apps that don't include both chem and A&P I grades)? I understand having a file or...

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

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I don't think that COD will evaluate your application until the chem grade is submitted. Chem and A&P I are the only two pre-reqs and without them, you (or anyone else) will not be considered for...

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

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I can't submit my application until both Chem & A&P have been completed and grades submitted to the College. My transcript was submitted last March, I believe. It has been accepted into the...

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

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I won't be submitting my application until after the grades are posted for the Fall semester, since I will need the A&P grade to even be eligible for admission. I submitted my transcript from my...

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

    Hi there, I will be applying for a seat in the Fall 2011 program. Going into the summer session, I will have completed the following pre-reqs/gen eds: Microbiology 1420 Foods 1110 (Basic Nutrition)...

  12. Do I Stand a Chance of Getting into Nursing School?

    chicagoing replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    The pre-requisites are classes that will need to be completed prior to applying for a nursing program. Some colleges may accept high school science courses, while others may require some or all...

  13. What to wear to interview??

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

    I am also unclear as to what "Boces" is, but I would not recommend wearing capri pants to an interview since they give off a casual vibe. At the very minimum, I would dress business casual (nice pants...

  14. Unfriendly and unsupportive fellow students...

    chicagoing replied to dollface6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have found that most students in my classes give the perception of what you had described above. However, I've come to realize that all of us have so much on our plates at the moment (classes,...

  15. how did you take your prerequisites?

    chicagoing replied to sam1984's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never had to declare a major when I started taking classes at the community college (many years ago). I was just interested in taking classes for enjoyment and had been doing so for 10+ years. No...

  16. Any College of DuPage COD Nursing Students with a bachelor outside nursing?

    chicagoing replied to need2getin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks Lisa. I thought the only 2 pre-reqs were chem (either contemporary or general) and A&P I. All of the other non-nursing courses (A&P II, microbiology, nutrition, speech, writing,...

  17. Any College of DuPage COD Nursing Students with a bachelor outside nursing?

    chicagoing replied to need2getin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pre-reqs = chem & A&P? Or does COD also consider the gen ed classes when determining GPA for

  19. College of Dupage letters mailed - Fall 2010

    chicagoing replied to CODADN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Congratulations, drugrep, on your acceptance! Would you mind if I asked if you had completed all of the pre-reqs/gen eds before you

    Congratulations on your wonderful

  21. Finally!!!

    chicagoing replied to dreams2bnurseco's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your post made me smile.

  22. I'm so dissapointed in myself; not doing great in Chemistry

    chicagoing replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am confused. You need solid proof that the instructor is somehow "screwing" with your grade because you used your cell phone in class. However, you apparently also signed an agreement stating that...

  23. College of Dupage - ADN pre-req questions - chemistry, anatomy

    chicagoing replied to chicagoing's topic in Illinois Nursing

    The Contemporary Chemistry course I took was from Summer 2005 and did not include the lab component. I did receive an A in organic chem lab (lab and lecture courses/grades were separate); however, I...

  24. College of Dupage - ADN pre-req questions - chemistry, anatomy

    chicagoing replied to chicagoing's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Oh my, that is discouraging COD requires either one semester general chemistry (for health-science majors) or contemporary chemistry (of which I received an A). The two general chemistry courses I...

  25. CNA with no nursing in the future?

    chicagoing replied to AHeartLikeHis's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi there! I am also new to the forum. 7 out of 8 persons in my CNA class last summer had plans on attending nursing school (I was the exception). I have yet to apply for a CNA position (I'm on the...
