3. Emotional Rollercoaster

   NIUnurs2be replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Students

   From someone starting a BSN program this fall, I too have a wide range of emotions. More than anything, I just want to start already!! I am such a nerd and am so excited to cover nursing material, even though I have heard the theory can be a little d...

4. Why does anyone go into nursing?

   NIUnurs2be replied to guineapiglover2011's topic in General Students

   I hear this question time and time again. I began my college career in the hopes of becoming a speech language pathologist and three years later decided to pursue nursing. Most people think I am out of my mind and especially since I have a twin siste...

7. Summer prep for Fundamentals ?

   NIUnurs2be posted a topic in General Students

   Hello all! I am probably going to come off sounding like a huge nerd, because I know it is summer and I am supposed to be relaxing but I am one of those people who like to stay busy and engaged at all times. I am starting nursing school in the fall...

8. A&P I and II in one semester?

   NIUnurs2be replied to NIUnurs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It is a BSN program to achieve your liscence as an RN. I go to Northern Illinois University. I think it is pretty strange also, I don't know of any other school in the state that combines the two courses, but the program itself has a decent reputatio...

9. A&P I and II in one semester?

   NIUnurs2be replied to NIUnurs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing

   In almost every other univeristy I know, you also have to take A&P I before A&P II but for whatever reason, the school I attend combines both courses into one full semester. I don't think that type of course would transfer anywhere else to a ...

    NIUnurs2be posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

11. University of St. Francis vs. NIU nursing program

    NIUnurs2be replied to NIUnurs2be's topic in Illinois

    That's actually really funny that you say that, because I had already finished my third year at Augie and everyone tried to tell me to finish and graduate, then go onto get my second bsn in nursing. I was so worried about whether or not I would be el...

13. NIU nursing (state nursing school vs private nursing school)

    NIUnurs2be posted a topic in General Students

    So, this question may be a little broad. But I recently transferred to NIU (Northern Illinois University) from a private college to hopefully get into the nursing program. But I am really disappointed by the general atmosphere of the campus, the clas...

14. Confused sophomore.. decision to become a nurse.

    NIUnurs2be replied to undecided16's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My twin sister goes to Loyola for pharmacy, and she is actually a great Chemistry tutor, so if you need help you can go the Sullivan Center, she had done wonders for me. Good luck with everything, I am sure you will do great.
