    Hi everyone! First, I usually spend about 5-6 hours a week reading, studying and doing assignments outside of class. When we have a test, I would say I add another 2-3 hours to that. Second, the...

  5. JJC Spring 2011?

    Emerald2 replied to Tleelove's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Dancingkayla25- I was really surprised that the average test score for the first theory test was 80%. I did a little above that, but still didn't do as well as I had hoped. I'm really lucky to have...

    Emerald2 replied to Tleelove's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Good to know! It was just worrysome, because there were 2 particular teachers that I haven't heard anything good about!! You are right, the goal is to pass and you can't change who you get! Thanks,...

    Emerald2 replied to Emerald2's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Jem8945- I'm pretty sure if you have all the prerequisites done you can just apply to the nursing program, but I would apply to the college first because you have to have a student email and I'm not...

    Emerald2 replied to mosuhpanic's topic in Illinois Nursing

    From what I understand, the first 4 weeks of clinical time are spent in the classroom, my time is from 4-10 for the evening program, but I think when you start out you are only in class for 4 hours...

    Emerald2 replied to mosuhpanic's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I have a 3 year old, so I know how you feel! My husband works a lot and sometimes works nights, so the good part is that it's only for 8 weeks each semester. Do you have any family that can help...

    Emerald2 replied to mosuhpanic's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I vaguely remember being told at the informational nursing meeting a few months ago that the clinicals would be the 3-11 shift, but I'm not sure whether we work until 11 or get off a little earlier....

    I took underwood online and I loved her, I got an A and she did an awesome letter of recommendation for me. I do know that some people didn't like her, but if you do the work, it's not a bad class,...

    Emerald2 replied to Emerald2's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Thanks LilRn, that helps a lot, thanks for your help! For some reason doing caths and injections is less nerve racking to me than doing bedbaths! Crazy right! Am I correct that the first semester...
