  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...

  16. I GOT ACCEPTED!!!!!

    Morribee replied to GamerGirL337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! Isn't it a great feeling? Good look to all those still waiting - don't give up

  17. Good place to buy white scrub pants?

    Morribee replied to momma25's topic in General Students

    We had to wear white pants in my CNA class, and most of us ended up buying Cherokee Workwear because they seemed less see-through than some other brands. They're fairly thick - one girls wears light...

  18. Joliet Junior College Nursing Applicants

    Morribee replied to Emerald2's topic in Illinois Nursing

    When I did my CNA course at JJC it didn't matter where we did a CPR class, so long as it was the one for healthcare providers. I would imagine it's the same for the nursing program. I was told by...

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

    Morribee replied to mosuhpanic's topic in Illinois Nursing

    There was a PDF attached to the acceptance email. Times for the sessions and instructions for how to register are in there - day students have three times to choose from (not much variety though, as...

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

    Morribee replied to mosuhpanic's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Congrats to you! I got my email today too, and will be in days. Have you signed up yet for the Getting Organized session before registration on April 27th? I like your idea of a circle of help, and I...

  21. Joliet Junior College Nursing Applicants

    Morribee replied to Emerald2's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Congrats Emerald! I got in too, for days. So glad to finally know, and ready to move onto the next stage of the adventure that is nursing

  22. What TEAS score did you get & did you get accepted in the nursing program?

    Morribee replied to nursein2012's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I got a 92.7 composite score, 95 on reading (the two subscores that count for points at my school); my program hasn't sent out admission results yet. I'm feeling optimistic, but won't relax until I...

  23. Microbio students summer 2011!

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

    I'm taking micro this summer too. It's in a blended format, so I only have to go in two days a week to do the labs; everything else is done online. I would rather have taken it in a full-length...

  24. Who's taken the teas v?

    Morribee replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I don't think there is an online version of the ATI study guide, but other book stores do sell it. I ordered mine from Amazon and had it in two days (with Prime shipping). If you're willing to pay a...

  25. Joliet Junior College Nursing Applicants

    Morribee replied to Emerald2's topic in Illinois Nursing

    From what I understand, last semester's average TEAS score was 79 composite and the average from the semester before that was 77. I don't know what the reading averages were. I'd say you have a pretty...
