So, I am hoping for some input by fellow illinoisians. I recently transferred from Augustana College to NIU in order to enroll in the nurisng program. However, I am really dissatisfied by the state school atmosphere, feeling like just another face an...

Just want to thank everyone for the great responses!!

Hello Everyone! I want to thank you for any help in advance. I know there a lot of study/note taking threads on the site and I have looked through most of them, but none of the threads really get at what I am looking for. I am reading all of my ch...

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...

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...

Hello there, Although I am not currently enrolled in an ABSN program, I did extensive research and talked to a lot different schools in the Midwest area, before deciding to go into a regular 2 year BSN program. Every school looks for something a l...

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...

Thank you all so much for the replies : ) I really do appreciate everyone's input and advice

I was just hoping to get some input from other students who have taken either A&P I and II in one semester or have completed the sequence in general. For my spring term I am finishing my pre-reqs in hopes that I will be accepted for the nursing p...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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.

I was just curious. I noticed you are looking into nursing programs in illinois. I am currently a pre-nursing student at NIU and I was just wondering which university you are attending, because I just recently transferred there in hopes I will be acc...

Thank you so much. It is kind of a big risk, but I hope it will pay off. Thanks again : )

For those interested in NIU, I made the decision to transfer to NIU after three years at Augustana in hopes of getting accepted into the nursing program at NIU for next fall, because students at Northern are accepted first, it is extremely difficult ...

Thank you all so much for everyone who responded! I appreciate all of your opinions : ) I think I will take your advice

So, I am about to enter my senior year of college and up until this point I was a Speech-Language Pathology major, but after hours of SLP shadowing at a hospital, realized nursing was much for me. My current school doesn't have a nursing program and ...

So, this question isn't as specific to nursing, but I am assuming that anyone who has applied to nursing schools may be able to answer some questions for me (and if you are, thank you in advance). I am graduating from college this May, but I will be ...

If you don't mind me asking, have you started your ABSN program yet? Just curious, as to what to expect.

Sorry, I know this post is a little old. But I am trying to decide between Lakeview in Danville or Charleston. I unfortunately must work part-time on the weekends in order to pay for housing, so I will need to go which ever city has the most possibil...

Thank you very much.

First off, I just want to thank anyone and everyone who replies to this thread in advance and also I would like to throw a disclaimer out there, this topic has been discussed previoulsy on different threads, but I am hoping for advice specific to my ...

Thank you for sharing. I also considered doing a traditional bsn, but you are right with so many schools having rn-bsn online programs, it makes much more sense just to get my ADN and then take a couple of courses each semester. If you don't mind me ...
