  1. OK Truth Time!! Who Else Had To Get Readers(Glasses) Yet???

    zbb13 replied to tex42cares's topic in General Students

    I was fine until a couple of months ago. I have a strong prescription, nearsighted, but all of a sudden I can't read medicine bottles if they are covered in some type of plastic material, or pages of...

  2. Going back to school for RN after many, many years

    zbb13 replied to KA Stritt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went back to school after twenty something years. I was also quite anxious so I started slowly, one course a semester. It took me a few weeks to get into the reading/studying routine (I did worry...

  3. Truman College Nursing Students starting Fall 2011!!

    zbb13 replied to chicagonurse2b's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I got mine at the Agyle Clinic (Argyle a couple blocks in from Broadway). I can't remember how much I was charged, but it was reasonable. I saw the name of the clinic in a previous Truman posting. I...

  4. Calling all Truman College Nursing Students

    zbb13 replied to 4hana9's topic in Illinois Nursing

    What waiting list are you speaking of????? There is no official waiting list to get into the program. It is all based on grades and having taken the prerequisites and the compass reading

  5. New here! in dilemma, need advice

    zbb13 replied to NIGHTINGALE-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Someone gave me this advice the other day--Consider your two options. Flip a coin. After you check the result, note your immediate reaction. If your immediate reaction to the result of the flip is...

  6. Best Chicago area RN programs @ community colleges

    zbb13 replied to amusedgirl's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Why should you keep away from the CCCs? I am going to Truman in the Fall. It has the reputation of being an excellent program, and you only need three prerequisites to get in now. Yes, it is all...

  7. Trying to get into 2 yr nursing program help!!!

    zbb13 replied to jstgttingstrted's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Truman no longer has that ranking system. I had over 97 points, but they did not take that into consideration, as they have centralized all of the nursing programs in the CCCs. The central CCC office...

  8. You don't work in anER. Get over it.

    zbb13 replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    I hear both sides, and I have sat in an ER quite a number of times with my kids. Could there be a clinic set up under the same roof as the ER, manned 24/7 to deal with patients who are not presenting...

  9. A quick vent about APA

    zbb13 replied to Tait's topic in General Students

    Sounds crazy to me. Sometimes people get hung up on such nitty gritty little details. Best of luck with impending

  10. Bookish, low common sense... will I fit in?

    zbb13 replied to FRESH_90's topic in General Students

    You, could very easily be me, and I was trying to find a way to ask the same question. I'm starting nursing school in the Fall. I do get it, just with lots and lots of repetition. I'm a 4.0...

    zbb13 replied to chicagonurse2b's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Did you guys get a new email from Truman-something about Pharmacology? I guess they haven't put my correct email address on their main mailing list

    zbb13 replied to chicagonurse2b's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I still don't have my email, and there is no answer at Truman. Can someone here please private message me and I will send them my email address. If you can forward the letters to me, I would really...

    zbb13 replied to chicagonurse2b's topic in Illinois Nursing

    There is only one clinical per week in the first year, and then two in the second. They were sending my emails to the wrong email address. I hope to get them

  19. Truman College Nursing Students starting Fall 2011!!

    zbb13 replied to chicagonurse2b's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I guess this is kind of par for the course--I didn't get anything. I didn't get the email I was sent saying I got into Truman either. Thanks so much for posting--at least I know now to ask them...

  21. Possible to work full time and go to nursing school?

    zbb13 replied to rbk8's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Truman offers quite a few different options for clinicals, but they are not flexible at all, and as far as I know, there are no weekend ones (I will stand corrected if I am wrong). I was told I would...

  22. What was the lowest diastolic bp you have seen?

    zbb13 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Mine. 60/40 and dropping after epidural. Everything was going black, and I thought perhaps I was dying, which was a little anxiety provoking, to say the least. Woke up

    zbb13 replied to chicagonurse2b's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I didn't mean to be pretentious. I didn't put anyone down. I have a very, very hectic life, and I need to spend my study time studying (if you knew me, you would understand why I'm saying this,...
