  1. COD fall 2011 ADN program

    chicagoing replied to christine826's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Oh, sorry, I didn't know that you knew. It seems as though many people don't understand that points can be calculated by using the rubric. One of my good friends was also accepted, but I am unsure of...

  2. COD fall 2011 ADN program

    chicagoing replied to christine826's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Ok, I think you would get 1 extra point for the PAX for scoring greater than 50 in two sections. Your total looks to be 20 points per the

  3. Any College of Dupage nursing students out there? Or hopefuls?

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hi Rocky. I received 4 points for the PAX (99th percentile composite score) 13 points for GPA (over 3.9, not quite 4.0) 9 points for 8 completed classes and 1 point for a bachelor's degree. I don't...

  4. COD fall 2011 ADN program

    chicagoing replied to christine826's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Let's see. You should have received 13 points for the 3.9 GPA. How many classes did you have completed? If you had all classes except nutrition, micro, and speech (and apparently A&P II), then I...

  5. NLN score is taking forever to come!

    chicagoing replied to nurse2b013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh that's rough, waiting for those scores. I did not realize that not all exams are taken on the computer (where if you're lucky, you'll be able to see your score as soon as you're finished!) I sped...

  6. Pre-nursing student confused about planning Fall 2011 Schedule

    chicagoing replied to futurern96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Should you take anatomy and physiology together? It depends. The community college at which I take classes combines anatomy and physiology into two courses: A&P I and A&P II, 8 semester hours...

  7. Should I take chemistry just too impress?

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

    Ok, I understand...really, I do. I also have a background in the "hard sciences," which skews my perception of how difficult these science classes may be for someone with a different background and...

  8. Are my NLN scores good?

    chicagoing replied to Shanny246's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really does depend on the strength of the scores of the applicant pool for your cohort. And how these scores are used by your college when determining who is

  9. Is Micro harder/easier than A&P?

    chicagoing replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The actual material in micro didn't seem hard to understand, but the class was bordering on the ridiculous due to our extremely cocky, unorganized, intelligible, and lazy instructor. A&P seems...

  10. Should I take chemistry just too impress?

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

    Beachbedhead never stated that p-chem was required for nursing school; she was a biotechnology/pre-pharmacy major earlier in her college career. Her statement regarding advanced coursework was...

    I haven't had sushi in quite some time, but I'm game! Where is 95th Street? I hid in the bathroom when I opened my letter...I am not sure why.

  12. Any College of Dupage nursing students out there? Or hopefuls?

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I only say that because I had more than a handful of people (other students) tell me to my face that I wouldn't get in with 27 out of 27.5 points, so I was

  16. Heading Back to School -- Hitting a Brick Wall

    chicagoing replied to funky917's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am also in the same situation, but am very grateful that I even have the option of obtaining federal loans. I would equate hitting a brick wall with not having any aid (federal loans included)...

  19. Just got my ACT score back

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

    I believe the composite score still ranges from 1 to 36. I took the ACT during my sophomore year of high school (many years ago) and the writing portion was not

  21. I Don't Want To Take 9 Prerequisite Courses :-(

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

    The ADN program to which I applied has two pre-reqs. (A&P I and chemistry) and I believe 8 co-reqs. Even though it is possible depending on the strength of the applicant pool to gain admittance...

  22. I'm Totally Regretting Taking 3 Science w/Labs :( HELP!

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

    Wow - an A in p-chem. That's impressive! Were you planning on applying for pharmacy

  23. Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

    chicagoing replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes. If smokers can keep the evidence of their habit to themselves, then I don't see a problem with it. Discriminating against smokers would be tantamount to opening Pandora's Box. I work out 5x a...
