  1. Question About Stretched Ears

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to KatieMarie1127's topic in General Students

    It becomes that when you say it's "hideous." That does not further a constructive conversation and only serves to be hurtful and to project a stance of otherness being lesser. True we all have the...

  2. Resurrection University Fall 2012 Applicants

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to RickyLatino87's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Actaully that didn't change for me until a week after I was accepted. Go under "my profile" and then click "my information" and it will say "application complete" but that is what eventually changes...

  3. Question About Stretched Ears

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to KatieMarie1127's topic in General Students

    The OP does not deserve body

  4. Resurrection University Fall 2012 Applicants

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to RickyLatino87's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Res is the only school I applied to. There is something about it that appeals to me too in a big way, so I know what you mean. I'm sure they'll get to you soon! They are busy after all. Just because...

  5. Rush GEM Fall 2012

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to cubbieblue2012's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Another point to consider is after completing your nursing coursework at UIC and sitting for the NCLEX, if you pass and become an RN, you are an RN with no degree behind it. UIC does not confer a...

  6. Question About Stretched Ears

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to KatieMarie1127's topic in General Students

    I think you have to go through school and get a job first, then figure out how to express yourself later. I am entering a BSN program and have many many tattoos, including a half sleeve and forearm...

  7. Resurrection University Fall 2012 Applicants

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to RickyLatino87's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Wow that is a lot of classes to do during summer! You're gonna be busy is an understatement! If you have a competitive GPA and good science gpa then let's hope the TEAS isn't gonna hold you back too...

  8. Resurrection University Fall 2012 Applicants

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to RickyLatino87's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Ugh I know how hard the wait is! It took 5 weeks for me to get an answer after my application and test scores were totally complete. I was admitted under Guaranteed Admissions so if you are waiting on...

  9. Some words of encouragement for low GPAers

    PrayToTheUnicorn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a career changer and have a previous degree with a terrible 2.7 GPA. I have been taking all of my pre-reqs for over two years while working at a full-time job during the day. I maintained a 4.0 in...

  10. Some words of encouragement for low GPAers

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to PrayToTheUnicorn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep it just gets so hard to keep going and going, before you've even gotten into the even harder work of a program. It's enough to drive you crazy, but I think it weeds out the weak. So remember you...

  11. Loyola ABSN vs Rush MSN

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to lholladay's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Rush is absolutely the most

  12. Depaul MENP fall 2012

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to oskar's topic in Illinois Nursing

    It is generous to accept people for the winter term rather than rejecting them outright and asking for a reapplication, but it sounds like they're not doing it across the board. Now there will be...

  13. Salaries at Northwestern, Rush, Children's Memorial?

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to UpliftingRN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    At 56 k your take home pay with claiming 0 dependents would still be around or close to say $3000 per month. I would hope you can live on that. Find affordable rent. Make a budget. For the first time...

    FutureNurse, heard anything yet? Ricky, are you closer to choosing a

  15. Resurrection University Fall 2012 Applicants

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to RickyLatino87's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Got a voicemail from Juan today but it was after office hours. I about lost my mind and I thought his voicemail sounded awkward. I was thinking the worst but then it occurred to me to check the online...

  16. Student loan taking forever to pay off...

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    Thank you for correcting me again after the poster before you did

  17. Student loan taking forever to pay off...

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    Don't ever skip a payment. No matter how much you pay, whether it's the minimum or double or whatever, you still owe a payment each month when it comes due. You can get them deferred under some...

  18. Getting impatient

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to kate2353's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well these people do have admissions as their full time job year round, and then this stuff is piled on at certain times of the year. Evaluating transcripts, letting people know what's missing, and of...

  19. I'm not getting in :(

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to Jennifer425RN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow those are some long wait times! I'm sorry! Sorry for my ignorance too. Dang, this whole process is enough to make a person give up, probably weeds out the bad eggs. This certainly makes us...

  20. Getting impatient

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to kate2353's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think calling is a no no. They are swamped. Email is better. But you do have a date sortof, and that was more than I had! We'll all have to wait... and wait... it's making me

  21. I'm not getting in :(

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to Jennifer425RN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah I was confused by that too. Did you mean 2012, and does that mean when your pre-reqs will be

  22. back up plan???

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to AliRoseC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never had a backup plan until this week, as I'm waiting on the one program I applied to, to give me an answer. I'll know in two weeks. If I'm rejected I'm looking at a yearlong mix of more chemistry...

  23. Waiting for that Letter!

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to amaphi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All my eggs are in one basket too, and I think my basket has a hole in it. This waiting is brutal and I have two more weeks I was

  24. Getting impatient

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to kate2353's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am completely wigging out. Some people have already been accepted at my school of choice. I have a low cumulative GPA so I am worried and rightly so I should be. It has been a month since I applied...

  25. Freaking myself out

    PrayToTheUnicorn replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, you should do what you think you want to do. Don't just "pick something." Also, there are no guarantees in life. You could do the work required and get into nursing school and have an accident...
