   mono2010 replied to RickyLatino87's topic in Illinois

   Craiglist in the city is cyclical. The most apartments are available in the spring/early summer. I would recommend checking with an apartment hunter. They usually see updates the same day. I just moved to West Town/Uk village. It has alot of restaur...

   mono2010 replied to RickyLatino87's topic in Illinois

3. Resurrection University Fall 2012 Applicants

   mono2010 replied to RickyLatino87's topic in Illinois

   Hi there. I am a Senior. The number of days changes every 8 weeks and depends on whether or not your clinical site has enough space for a full shift or they need to break it into 2- 4hr days. Some students prefer the 1 day (get it out of the way) and...

4. Nursing school + working - WWYD?

   mono2010 replied to WorkingTowardsBSN's topic in General Students

   I'm in an accel. bsn program (eve/wknd) and working full time. Its brutal but it can be done. If there's a way to work less hours I would recommend it. Its hard to balance the amazing amount of reading, care plans, papers and clinical. I have started...

6. Advice on Accelerated BSN programs

   mono2010 replied to SarahLee7's topic in General Students

   I am in my second semester of an Acc. BSN at a Private school. It is more expensive ($50k) but it was the only option for a Evening and Weekend program . It is a BEAST! Lots of reading (100+ pgs a week), very fast pace (classes are only 8wks), very l...

7. I start nursing school in a week!

   mono2010 replied to ivikatasha's topic in General Students

   I agree with with what the others have said as well. The first semester was the hardest. I felt like I could never keep on top of all the reading and so forth but have to remember that you can do it! Try as hard as you can to read all of the text the...

   mono2010 replied to mono2010's topic in Illinois

   You don't have to wait. You can log into the portal and click on academics. There's a link that says online registration or something like that. It will allow you to see the available classes/sections and register. I just did it on my own. I signed u...

9. Am I waisting my time with associates degree?

   mono2010 replied to chall2011's topic in General Nursing

   I would recommend looking into an Accelerated BSN program which is what I'm doing. I already have a BS and the better part of a MS. The program is only 20 months and it will be all nursing instead of the gen eds that you usually have to face with a s...

14. Should I take Micro and Physiology in the same semester?

    mono2010 replied to MonkeyMama's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I did that last term and it was alot of work. It can be done but you have to be focused. Its also alot of information to take in at once. As the the others mentioned parts of the classes do overlap. Good luck
