I wanted to sign up for the seminar but i cannot. I am taking summer organic chemistry class. Feel like i am going to fall behind now.

Hey guys, To all the people who are accepted, Has anyone gotten all of their vaccinations and cpr done? I received an email to attend the seminar. I feel so bad that i cannot go because I am taking my last science course over the summer and I won't be able to come to the seminar. I feel like I'm going to fall behind everyone else. What's the news for the wait-listed people? Keep Hanging on. You guys still have two more months. Good luck!

I believe they are talking about the uocoming sept-feb. If it was for last sept-feb, then they would have told us to get one during admission application or something. I didn't get one last year either. I am hoping it is for upcoming. I am going to call today as i have a few questions for them. I will update you guys on what they tell me! Nikita.

So how are you guys preparing for nursing school? Are you guys commuting or living there? I have to commute. Do you know how the program structured? Sorry, i just thought we should also talk about how we are doing to manage everything, share ideas and thoughts. Well i am sorry guys i should have read the previous pages. You guys already talking about that. Haha. I am commuting to the campus through the blue line. It is pretty easy to get there. From the station, uic is only 5 min walk. I cannot live there so yeah plus i love living with my family. :)

I did today. For chicago campus.

Hello, I received an email that i am accepted. Keep holding on guys. Dont lose hope! Nikita :)

thanks PaulDee! You are very encouraging to everyone on this forum. I'm sure you are going to be an awesome nurse. I still do have hope, but i also do hope that I don't have to wait another semester to apply to other nursing programs. Because I wanted to get into this program for Fall 2014, I took classes from January to December nonstop 2013. I even did 3 classes over the summer. I took one science class that i didn't need, so I had to take a science class over the summer to finish the requirement that said you had to have 3 of the 5 sciences completed. I have worked so hard, and I'm sure everyone else have too. It will be just so discouraging if I don't make it into this program. If you don't mind me asking, what other programs have you applied to? I don't know why, I couldn't find any other nursing program that I was interested in. That's the reason I didn't I apply. I did like Resurrection University. It sounded like they have a good program. I just have too many thoughts in my mind right now.

I had my interview today. I was really nervous, but i think I do okay, not too good nor too bad. But I was a little confused. I didn't see the interviewers writing much down on paper. There were not really responsive either. They were not smiling or anything, which kind of scared me that maybe they didn't like our responses. I haven't applied to any other university, and I am regretting that now. Now, its too late.

Hey guys, What are the current issues in healthcare? I don't know anything about any issues. Please help guys. thanks, Nikita.

Hi, I have 4.0 until last semester. Getting a bit lazy this semester. I got my essays checked by a transfer adviser. I Volunteered on and off from 2010-2013. wow..you have it in a week. Good Luck. By the way, how are you preparing? I don't know what they are going to make us write. I feel like they are going to pick from the best students depending on their interview and writing skills. I am horrified. This is the only program I applied for.

I am going march 8th at 11 am.

Hi, I received an email for interview too. I am so nervous. I dont know what to expect. By the day, if you dont mind me asking then what day did u pick to go? I wonder what kinds of questions they are going to ask. And, also i wonder what we will have to write.
