    maddiem replied to Dtermnd2Bgreat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    maddiem replied to kuksuk94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    UIC is probably the hardest nursing school to get into in IL. I've heard they get hundreds of applications...and I think they only accept like 70 people. I don't know the exact number but its...

    maddiem replied to kuksuk94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All of the schools being discussed are good nursing schools. Employers are not too concerned with where you go to school...it's more about your NCLEX and how well you did in your nursing program. If...
