thanks helper. how competitive is depaul? rush? I haven't been able to get into any pre-req classes for the summer so I will probably have to take them in the fall which means I might have to delay even starting to do applications for awhile...ugh! Oh well. I'm just worried that I'm going to spend all this time and money doing my prerequisites and not even get into a programs...that would be frustrating!!! THanks! K

No responses yet? Argh. Aggravating. Are the community colleges in Chicago a good place to get prereqs completed? Truman college? Also, is the depaul direct entry msn only available to non-nursing majors with a BS? I have a BA and I wondered if that made a difference. Also, I've heard that at rush they are pretty lenient with your prior transcripts if you just do well in your interview....any ideas? Thanks.

Hi all! I'm relocating to Chicago in about a month. My boyfriend is going to northwestern med school. Anyways, I've been looking into accelerated nursing programs and have been completely stressing out about it! I have a BA in sociology and basically have no science classes (except a few microbiology courses). I was looking into DePaul, Rush, Loyola, etc. and they all seem to require so many classes. Anyways! I'm wondering...where should I get my pre-reqs done? NOrthwestern has a one year program to get your pre-reqs done...do you think this is worth it? Do you think I'll ever get in? I would love to be able to start in January of 2006...is this feasible? Also, I'm looking for jobs in the healthcare sector so I have some experience while I'm taking pre-reqs...is this a good idea? Ahhh....I thought applying to schools was going to be easy!!! Kate :uhoh21:
