1. Cuny math placement test...Need Help!!!

   Morribee replied to Redfalcon518's topic in New York Nursing

   I recently took the SUNY math placement test, and scored higher than I expected to. I prepared using a CLEP Algebra study guide, College Algebra Demystified, and the Khan Academy website. Of the...

2. Will I be accepted to Joliet Junior College?

   Morribee replied to Reese2012's topic in Illinois Nursing

   Just repeating what I said above. If you apply without having the compulsory prereqs done, your application will fail the prescreening and you won't even get to write the TEAS. They will not consider...

3. Will I be accepted to Joliet Junior College?

   Morribee replied to Reese2012's topic in Illinois Nursing

   Oh, I did get accepted - I just can't go. My husband took a job out of state and there is no way for me to stay here in Illinois and go to school. Sorry that I wasn't more

4. Will I be accepted to Joliet Junior College?

   Morribee replied to Reese2012's topic in Illinois Nursing

   They're only going to look at your GPA for Eng 101, Psych 101, Psych 215, Heal 109 (nutrition), Bio 250, and Bio 251. You've got 2 Bs and 1 A with 3 classes left to take (though you can apply after...

5. Did you buy your stethoscope from Amazon?

   Morribee replied to super bolus's topic in General Students

   The Littmans I saw at my school's uniform sale weren't shrinkwrapped either. No clue if they're supposed to be. I had the one I ordered from Medisave engraved, so if it were wrapped they would have...

6. TEAS score for JJC

   Morribee replied to Reese2012's topic in Illinois Nursing

   For the group starting in August (thus applied last Feb.), the average composite score for admission was 80%. I think the average for reading was 88%. I don't know what the lowest scores accepted...

7. Transferring to Joliet Junior College: Advice?

   Morribee replied to haruka671's topic in Illinois Nursing

   I noticed in the other thread that you still need to finish Bio 151, Chem 100, and the two A&P courses. I would focus on doing well in those courses first before worrying too much about the TEAS....

8. Joliet Junior College Prereqs

   Morribee replied to capella44's topic in Illinois Nursing

   The online nutrition course at JJC is mostly a lot of busywork. There's only one teacher I know of that teaches it online and half your grade will come from discussion board postings. Make sure you...

9. Where these types of things in Science section of TEAS?

   Morribee replied to GirlDotson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I'll share what I recall from taking the TEAS V in March, but it's very possible you'll see a different test than I did. From your list: Gas Laws - yes, I remember answering at least one question on...

10. TEAS V Advice

    Morribee replied to cjo85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're taking TEAS V, you don't need to know earth science. There were earth science questions on previous TEAS versions (and some schools still use TEAS IV, I believe), but there aren't any on...

11. Summer school anyone?

    Morribee replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Microbiology (blended course, with online content and twice weekly labs in the classroom) and Sociology. I'll only be on campus two days a week, but on those days I'll be there until 10pm....

12. Freshly Accepted @ JJC!!!! :-)

    Morribee replied to mosuhpanic's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Pretty sure a C is all you need to graduate, though it might hold you up trying to get into a BSN or other degree program after JJC. I'm taking it over summer, along with sociology, and I'm

13. Freshly Accepted @ JJC!!!! :-)

    Morribee replied to mosuhpanic's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I think for the first 5-6 weeks clinicals are held in the skills classrooms, so I don't think that slot will be empty. Definitely ask someone at the office though. What clinical site are you going to?...

14. How Long does a TEAS V score last?

    Morribee replied to Lauracl22 CNA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure how long TEAS scores last; I suspect each institution makes up their own rules on that. However, I do think it's a good idea to take A&P before you take the test. I did my TEAS in...

15. white plus size scrubs

    Morribee replied to bubbasmom's topic in General Students

    Just in case you can buy your own, Cherokee Workwear goes up to 5x and has larger measurements than some other brands. I needed white pants for my CNA class and they were thick enough that people were...
