Best of luck

Well, first things first, find some stress relievers since you get stressed out easily. Because getting into nursing school can be stressful, so imagine once you're in!!!

I'm a nursing student in an ADN program in Chicago as well, and I'm not to much worried about the job market. I have several friends and family members who are employed RNs in the Chicago area, some newly employed. Now you might not land the hospital or unit of your dreams right away, and yes their are a few hospitals that require BSNs, but their are definitely jobs out there, and some come with the stipulation that you earn your BSN within 3 years. Be diligent, find a part time or registry job as a CNA, PCT, LPN while in school that would be open to hiring you after graduation, and network with other nurses to use as employee referrals on applications. Even consult with some of your instructors or your director to utilize some of their connections for employment. Ultimately, the program you're in might not have job placement but they could still offer some assistance in your search because how many graduates land jobs after graduation is a small reflection on their program.

Thank you all. I'm extremely excited and ready!!!!

I just responded to my acceptance letter and accepted my seat into an RN program here in Chicago. Any advice for a new nursing student starting their first semester of nursing school in Jan. 2014???

I'd love to hear more information about this as well, for I'm relocating to Miami, and was looking to enroll in the Spring 2013 program as well. I'd also like to know how are the job prospects for a Keiser graduate.
