  2. PA vs. NP in CHICAGO

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Cardiology EP NP's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Can I ask how old your wife is? It sounds like she went back to school later in life. At least she will get money for her retirement. Times are tough these days. I have job hopped quite a bit and I...

  3. PA vs. NP in CHICAGO

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Cardiology EP NP's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Blueblaze, I'm SO SORRY your wife lost her position. Did she try some of the chicago area hospitals like Rush, northwestern, and children's memorial? They all hire Nurse practitioners. Good samaritan...

    Cardiology EP NP replied to gotksgirl's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hey oldiebutgoodie, That's very interesting with respect to your experiences with DePaul. It makes me wonder why they are so disorganized. I wonder how it will be when we are in the program. I was...

  5. Getting into a nursing school in Chicago

    Cardiology EP NP replied to chiliwings's topic in Nursing Career

    I believe all the schools you listed are equally competitive. Getting into nursing school is fairly competitive here in the chicagoland area. Most schools have waiting lists, however, I am not so sure...

  8. Info on DePaul University?

    Cardiology EP NP replied to gotksgirl's topic in Illinois Nursing

    ok, I have to vent. I STILL haven't heard from depaul. I spoke to christine today and she's going to email the chairperson to find out what is going on. This is driving me insane. I think I'm going to...

  15. PA vs. NP in CHICAGO

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Cardiology EP NP's topic in Illinois Nursing

    That's a good point suzanne. I know PAs work under the supervision of a doctor and how docs want to be in control. That's why I guess in my spirit I really didn't feel like PA was for me. I have...

    Cardiology EP NP replied to Cardiology EP NP's topic in Illinois Nursing
