Mz2juceey Most LPN programs for Chicago Public High Schools have selective enrollment. Few schools that offered this program are Percy Julian and Gwendolyn Brooks, Benito Juarez, Dunbar and Sullivan. They are under the medical & health career...

TCloud25 What an inspiration :yes:If Nursing is our calling,giving up is soooo not an option!! We have to climb that mountain until we reach the top no matter how many times obstacles enter our path. This just gave me that extra push to keep moving.....

I remember a relative of mine did it some years back. Maybe she was the last class since it was updated recently. I was just giving her a some ideas of schools in Chicago though,we can scratch that off the list Lol.

Im in the Midwest and a few schools here offer the lpn to bsn bridge or accelerated BSN program. Check out your schools website,it ususlly lets you know if that program is offered. Depends on what you see yourself doing in the future. If getting a bs...

The program is either 12 or 16 months depending on your placement exam results and any transferring credits that may cover the pre reqs. Type in ATS and you will get all reviews from both the Chicago and Ohio campus. Definitely do your research and c...

I can answer some questions based on when I was considering them some years back. The program is 12 or 16 months,depending on: your (Accuplacer) exam,and your transfer credits for A&P 1/2 (both at the same school) with a B average,Psychology,Eng...

Hello FutureNurseMini Not too much info from what was stated because they both are new schools and it will be their 1st class this year. Best Med class has been pushed back to August and pre reqs will start in May. Tuition is the same as above,no fin...

Most states will let you challenge the CNA exam after you complete Fundamentals of Nursing and a certain amount of hours in your clinicals. Here in Illinois its 40 hours. Check with your state.

As long as you have a great support system in your corner,you will be fine. Make sure to have your Plan A,B and C ready just in case. My cousin was in a RN program and got pregnant during her last semester,had to leave for a few weeks but came back a...

I left another one out lol Ambria College in Hoffman Estates is one that accepts financial aid (pell and loans). No waiting list and Pre reqs needed are: Psy,Math for Nurses (dosage calculation),Eng 101,A&P and Intro to Computers. You need your C...

Contemporary math is kinda business related ,still deals with statistics,geometry,science,etc..I have heard thats its easier than College Algebra,but haven't taken it for myself.

MAT155 is Statistics. This is a course that combines math and science. Deals with probability and analysis from what I remember. Majors in Nursing,Natural Science usually have this as a gen ed requirement.

The 2 year program is so competitive and not enough slots available for the majority of applicants applying. Also considering the long wait list for RN programs, the LPN route is a better fit for me at this time. I have a teenage daughter in school,...

Most schools will take some C's while others prefer B's. The entrance can be either the Hesi ,The Teas Test,or PSB. You can find out exactly which one they have by calling the admissions dept or check out their website,and look for admission require...

Welcome to AllNursing!! I think you have a great chance to get in,especially if you do well on the entrance exam and everything else needed for their admissions requirement. You can also find a traditional RN program that is 2 years and apply there a...

You should be able to get into a nursing program because most only require the pre reqs done like med terminology,a&p,eng,psy and college algebra. I took up medical office assistant about a year ago and most of my classes were transferrable to an...

Thanks Jess! If I had my cna certification finished I would be right there with ya lol Definitely keep me posted. I'm sure the nervous bug will go away after the first few weeks of class :-) Just make sure to get a schedule going for studying and re...

I notice they have a high turn over rate when it comes to employees. I had three different admissions rep,one left because she felt the school was treating students unfairly. Tjerdine did you do the lpn program there or just cna?

Yeah,thats goood that students are not messing around when it comes to the quality of their education. Can you send me the ATI books to my email as well,I want to review it early on. I know if anything is out of order Im gonna report it,especially w...

I appreciate the updated post for PCCTI. Im narrowing down my school selections and I had them on the list for Feb start date, so this info is good to know ahead of time. I wish they had some Chicago clinicals though. Thanks So Much!
