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

    For any later comers to this thread, if you are looking for a good instructor, try using ratemyprofessors dot com. I've found quite a few instructors through that website and the reviews are usually...

    One of my friends had ***** for micro and really enjoyed his class (she received an A). My micro teacher was just blah...I had signed up for another notoriously difficult instructor, but she pulled a...

    Oh wow that is really cool. I looked at the map on the COD website and never realized that some of Cook fell within the COD district

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Isn't LaGrange Park in Cook County, or are there parts that lie within Dupage? One of my very close friends just bought a house in LaGrange Park and she marvels over the high property

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Oh I'm just joking around :) I don't really feel left out. I've met a few people already in my classes that I will probably be studying with (since we are already studying together

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    We'll be oddballs together. I am a bit south of you and nowhere near Naperville! Everyone's going to get a reprieve from the waiting today since there is no mail

  10. Surprising my parents about getting accepted?!

    chicagoing replied to SUL2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What about meeting each other halfway? (literally!) A 3 hour car ride seems a bit...LONG :) Are your parents aware of when you should be receiving your

  12. Surprising my parents about getting accepted?!

    chicagoing replied to SUL2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you Skype them?

  13. Anyone else having second thoughts?

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

    Hi there. Are you interested in working in a lab and doing research? I would think that many of your classes from the biology degree will "count" towards your pre-reqs. for the ADN program. (I also...

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    The workload for CNA class really wasn't all that heavy. The clinical only lasted for 6 or 7 hours (I don't quite remember)...and boy, time really did fly. I found that most of what we learned was...

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

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I think that is what they've done in the past, but I seem to recall reading that they may send out acceptance letters as late as March

  16. Ironing your Scrubs

    chicagoing replied to medsurgtrenchesRN's topic in General Students

    I love to iron. I even offered to iron my CNA classmates' scrubs, but no one took my offer seriously I expect that when I am in nursing school next year, I will happily iron my scrubs (wrinkles or no...

  18. students who don't seem to study and do so well

    chicagoing replied to italy's topic in General Students

    Well, I hate to break the news to you, but life is not always fair. Have you ever spoken with this girl? How much awareness do you have of her study habits? Be happy that you are able to even be at...

  19. Is anyone confident about getting into Nursing School?

    chicagoing replied to Student4_life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am confident that I will receive my acceptance letter in just a few weeks. The college's program to which I am applying lets you know what they are looking for and provides a rubric for one to...

  20. annoying 'friends' in nsg school

    chicagoing replied to peaceee2010's topic in General Students

    1. She texts instead of paying attention to lecture 2. She needs a summary of the material because she is busy doing #1 3. She takes hours to get "stuff" done when it's time to go home 4. She flirts...

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    AK11 - how many classes have you completed thus far? We seem to think there are 10 possible classes that can count towards application points (and the CNA course is not one of them), so if you only...

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Oh that's rather strange. I thought that you had somehow listed your location as Israel, but you didn't. Maybe one of the moderators will

  23. NLN Pre-RN Test results

    chicagoing replied to ogstarbucks's topic in General Students

    97, 93, and 94 are percentiles...not composite scores or composite percentile. The composite score is 135 and reflects how well the OP performed on the entire exam (verbal, math, science). The...

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

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I also only applied to COD. COD is the most affordable program available to me. I don't have the burning desire to obtain a BSN right off the bat; I'd rather go the ADN route, get a job, and have my...

    chicagoing replied to RscodADN10's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hi there. I'd rather not say who my teacher is...you never know if someone from my class is reading this right now :) When you say "worse", what do you mean? The course material? It is very hard for...
