  1. Wh-wh-where'd all the CLC students go?

    Hey everyone, haven't been around for awhile. I feel kind of overwhelmed with getting a handle on all the reading and the work. Trying to find my stride, I guess. I think the most difficult is all...
  2. Wh-wh-where'd all the CLC students go?

    Question about EBO's. It's kind of dumb but do we turn these in for a grade? Also do they have to be worded in our own words or can I just copy the answers I find in the text word for word?...
  3. Wh-wh-where'd all the CLC students go?

    Collene, I took A&P at College of Dupage before I transfered to CLC, so we probably haven't met. I did take Micro with Rhonda Flemming in the evening though. I worked out the sitting situation-...
  4. Wh-wh-where'd all the CLC students go?

    Thanks Blue Wolf and Lori, I started my vaccinations back December and got my physical in May. So I just need to get all that info to the health center and I am good to go. I just bought my books...
  5. Samland Institute

    I did their weekend program in Bolingbrook because it was most convenient for me. Took 8 weekends, not too bad. The instructor was nice. I think it was probably easier and more informal then the...
  6. Wh-wh-where'd all the CLC students go?

    Hi, I'm starting first semester and we just had our nursing orientation meeting today. I am trying not to but I feel completely overwhelmed by the amount of "stuff" we talked about. Modules,...
  7. Hi, I have to take the HESI enterance exam end of Sept. I bought a book that is supposed to be a study guide for all the nursing enterance exams. So I am not sure if HESI is harder or easier. I'm...
  8. I Can"t Stand It Anymore!!!!!

    Exactly!! I'm not sure how the educational system got to the point where students are treated like dirt and we pay for
  9. Human Growth and Development Course

    I didn't want to dig back through the whole thread... Does anyone else have to write observation papers? We have to write three. Each one we are required to observe a different age group. I did my...
  10. IL CNA Classes?

    Someone already posted links to Samland. I took my CNA with them because it would have cost me a whole summer of paying a sitter to take the community college course. Also, taking it through...
  11. I need advice, I need to vent. So just throw your thoughts out there. I'm on the fast lane to Burnout-ville. First off, I have 3 kids- a 9 year old who is autistic and two preschoolers. Which is a...
  12. Knock, knock, where are the A&P 1 students

    I am thrilled, I got a 92 on the Lecture test and 99 on the Lab test. The lecture test I was shocked because I thought I had done really bad. It was an awful day with my son being in the ER all...
  13. Well, I was really obsessing. Guess what... I ended up getting an A (92) on the A&P exam. 3rd highest grade in the class. I swear, I thought I had gotten a C. I guess I wasn't as bad off as I...
  14. Thanks! I did try working without the benefits. I put in a request last week to cut down to two days a week, my weekend days. My request was denied. The head nurse said that I have to be working...
  15. OMG, this made me cry!

    Yep, that was my dillema too. My husband went 1099 because in his field it is easier to gain employment that way. But that meant I needed to go back to work, mostly for the health insurance. I've...
  16. Exasperated...! 5th rejection?!?

    Well, the problem is that the nursing shortage has caused there to be a shortage of nurse instructors. Also, at the ADN advising session, the nurse instructor also pointed out that there is a limit...
  17. Need ideas for supplementing income

    You could work as a CNA. The nursing homes especially are pretty good about working around your schedule. That is what I do at least. But we are required to take a CNA course and become certified...
  18. I got in!!

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :balloons: --------------------------------------- Our school only requires that you have Biology and Chemistry completed in order to put in the application. Then...
  19. I'm going into it for the job and for the money. I mean, with the exception of a few professions, most people go to work in order to get a paycheck and also try to choose something they will
  20. From my experience, those who don't really want to get into nursing will not get into the program, because they will drop the idea somewhere between A&P and microbiology. If they don't, they...
  21. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!! We had our first lecture exam last night. I have been studying the lecture outline he gave us. I have taken notes. I highlighted everything he said, "make sure you...
  22. You would like hanging around with me then. I have also noticed that there are alot of people that are completely clueless about what they need to do to get into the nursing program or how the...
  23. Nursing School entry throughout the states

    I think all the colleges are pretty impacted. I'm trying to get into an ADN program at a community college and I the program has 117 positions a year. From what I understand, depending on the year,...
  24. Ummm....aren't we grown ups now? UGH.

    Is he by chance autistic or aspergers? Anyway, that would burn me up too. :angryfire I also spent my elementary and jr. high years in hell, being picked on because I wore glasses and was shy. The...
  25. I start work as a CNA on weekend overnights and one weekday overnight come Tuesday. I'm really happy! I just got hired on today to the place I wanted. I have turned down two other job offers...
