    chicagoing replied to guest_57352's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And even then, it may be difficult to get a job! I have a friend who graduated from Georgetown Law, and he was out of work for over a year (in NYC). If he couldn't get a job, then imagine how tough...

  3. NLN Results....

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

    Since a composite score of 100 is average, a 105 would be just slightly higher or better than average. Standard deviation is 20 so the 105 is closer to the the 50th percentile than it is the 68th...

  7. Is there chicago cna position that pays $10 or more per hour?

    chicagoing replied to RescueNinja2013's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I didn't realize Provena paid that well. I would assume the $12.22 does not include benefits? One of my family members works at a Provena organization and stated that the CNAs usually make around...

  9. Am I prepared for Nursing?

    chicagoing replied to Devie06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's extremely common for teens and young 20-somethings to not really know what it is they want to do in life. (If they had such awareness, I don't think you'd encounter so many nursing as a...

    chicagoing replied to Belli 40 LVN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. My Great Reality Check

    chicagoing replied to rn4me2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You don't need to apologize or lie awake at night thinking about this. Positivity is great, of course. I don't think your post was wrong or anything like that and I certainly did not mean to imply...

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Good luck tomorrow! But what am I missing? I thought permits won't be available until March 10 and the class doesn't start until the 14th (next Monday)? I'm signing up for the summer. Was the info....

    chicagoing replied to briaan's topic in Illinois Nursing

    chicagoing replied to skyheaven477's topic in General Students

    Hi, I was just accepted to a community college program with a fall 2011 start. I chose to apply only to an ADN program because there are jobs available to nurses with associate's degrees in my area....
