  1. Lewis or Loyola? Cant decide.

    heythatsmybike replied to Zachmat's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I guess it would depend on a few things. You like the idea of starting in the fall with Lewis but you’d likely be in school far longer correct? I’d go with Loyola but another factor would be...

  2. Transferring ABSNs?

    heythatsmybike replied to Bonstemps's topic in General Students

    As Long as you are in good academic standing and can get a letter from your administration stating so there are several schools that will take you but it may require additional time than what you have...

  3. DePaul MENP Program Admissions

    heythatsmybike replied to KBloom07's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I’m doing something different, a DNP in CRNA so its a little different but really there are still schools out there that will let you in right after your BSN and will even let you apply while...

  4. DePaul MENP Program Admissions

    heythatsmybike replied to KBloom07's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Accelerated programs are often 12-16 months and there are more of them compared to masters entry programs, so after applying to both I was able to start my accelerated BSN program way faster than the...

  5. DePaul MENP Program Admissions

    heythatsmybike replied to KBloom07's topic in Illinois Nursing

    One other thing to note, this program doesn’t have the highest NCLEX pass rate. They continually misrepresent it at their open houses and interviews as high 90s. If you’re gonna pay Rush prices,...

  6. DePaul MENP Program Admissions

    heythatsmybike replied to KBloom07's topic in Illinois Nursing

    It’s cost is comparable for other private universities in the Chicago area, but definitely not across the board. As far as I saw, only one class overlaps from the MENP program to the DNP tracks and...

    heythatsmybike posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am currently interviewing for new nurse grad positions in the ICU. I am finding that no interview is the same and was looking for advice on some things. When is it appropriate to ask for base...

  9. Working as a new grad in Portland & Relocating

    heythatsmybike replied to heythatsmybike's topic in Oregon Nursing

    It’s pretty great. Definitely way better than previous hospitals back home in terms of culture, resources and pay/benefits. Highly recommend it if you can swing

  11. Interview Process & Etiquette

    heythatsmybike replied to heythatsmybike's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you guys so much, this has all been really helpful. Would you guys recommend me reaching out to the nursing manager re: when I should hear back or the HR person? I have tried both in the past,...

  12. DePaul MENP Program Admissions

    heythatsmybike replied to KBloom07's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm aware two years is standard, just didn't think the MS is worth the 80k+ that they charge. Looking forward to CRNA school, they had told me only two classes would transfer (only into their CRNA...

  13. DePaul MENP Program Admissions

    heythatsmybike replied to KBloom07's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Don't do this program. It's two years long, the masters isn't technically an MSN it's an MS and it's over 80k and doesn't do a whole lot extra for you. No grants, if you qualify GPA wise after a...

  14. Practicum/Capstone Clinical Question

    heythatsmybike posted a topic in General Students

    I was just curious if other students had been told their hospital facilities do not allow them to do any IV pushes, lab draws from central lines or any access to central lines, opioids, sedatives,...

  17. 38yo male, VERY non-traditional potential nursing student... advice?

    heythatsmybike replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in Nursing Career

    Not all RN's work on floors, and there are other things, well-paying things you could do with this degree so don't let any naysayers try to deter you with the whole poop and pee speech. You sound...

  18. DePaul MENP question

    heythatsmybike replied to MarikoD's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Beware that this program does not award a traditional MSN degree. It is a Master of Science degree, which can be a little misleading....

  19. Chicago (+suburbs) pay?

    heythatsmybike replied to vhfhflzzz's topic in Illinois Nursing

    What the above poster said is correct. Neighborhood you live in is everything. Although you are always 5 miles away from Northwestern at any given time, it may take 30-60 minutes of commuting each...

    heythatsmybike replied to PscyhNP2022's topic in School, College Programs

    Abrazel- Did you check out the campus? I was typing my last post from my phone and I meant to write I didn't feel they could handle 60 students. I was curious what your thought was after visiting...

  22. Marquette University Direct MSN (Hybrid-Pleasant Prairie) for Fall 2017

    heythatsmybike replied to PscyhNP2022's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm curious about applying too. I've already been to the "campus" and although it is a very odd setting, the current students I spoke to seemed extremely happy they made the choice. The opening...

  25. Marquette University Direct MSN (Hybrid-Pleasant Prairie) for Fall 2017

    heythatsmybike replied to PscyhNP2022's topic in School, College Programs

    Has anyone gotten any feedback from current students? Looks like this particular location and hybrid program only started last fall. Has anyone toured the facility and scoped it out themselves
