  1. SWIC Nursing Program Summer 17

    cjmmm5 replied to RNTaylor1's topic in School, College Programs

    I know after your first full semester (Fall), you can get hired as a CNA without having the certificate, so that's an option. My kids are 11, 12 & 14 so they help a ton. I just got done with...

    cjmmm5 replied to RNTaylor1's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm very excited to have other mothers of multiple kids too! I feel so old going into this. Luckily my kids are getting older, and help me out when needed. I worked at an assisted living for almost a...

    cjmmm5 replied to RNTaylor1's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not taking any other classes, all of my requirements are finished besides the nursing classes. I want to put 100% of my study into nursing. I also work and have 3 kids, so that'll be enough lol im...

    I'm honestly not sure. I've been on a previous year they took 17-1/2 pts. Doesn't make a whole lot of

    I got a zero on English too, it was terrible. Generally it's 17 to 17-1/2 I think. Last year, which was not typical, was 16 (i missed last summer by 1 point!!)...if I had a couple more, I'd feel more...

    I sure hope so, this is my 2nd year of trying. I know how you feel, I had 11 last year and got 4 on the DET. The English part is just unreal, and I can't focus on the reading comprehension portions....

    I've also applied for this summer. I took my DET today. English is just terrible! I have a total of 18 pts now, that number scares me, wish it were a pt or two

    Well I took my DET today. Was hoping for 6 pts, only got 4. So I have 18 pts total. Totally stressing out, wish I had another point or two. Now to wait 2

    cjmmm5 replied to tranquileye82's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Yes, it was 16 last year. Normally I think it's between 17-18. The math on the DET is easy, lots of basic algebra. No calculators allowed, just scratch paper. The English was the worse part of the...

    I, too, am taking the DET this month. I missed the program last summer by one point. Fingers crossed that we all get in this year.

    BBAAM- I'm right there with you! I missed the program last year by 1 point. I bought my DET book yesterday (think I pitched the first one lol)...will be taking the test before

    The app is called Complete DET. It really was very helpful! Algebra was a Breeze, English was definitely more

    Hi Ashtonmom- I tried getting in this summer but missed it. You can buy the study guide in the book store at SWIC. It's a great guide! I also downloaded the app on my phone for like $5.99. Math was...

    cjmmm5 replied to tranquileye82's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Congrats on getting in!!! :-) That bums me out about the 16 points. I had so many mishaps that I missed the next grade for a percent or two. And last semester I dropped 158. Had I worked a little...

    You're not crazy! Lol...I've searched every too. I was thinking about it this morning, pretty sure today could be the day. I figured they'd wait til the end of the day to reduce phone calls lol. So...

    cjmmm5 replied to tranquileye82's topic in Illinois Nursing

    From reading past boards, it's usually close to mid April before they send out the letters. The last 3 years it's been I think 17 to 17-1/2 points to get in. One year I believe it was a tie of 18...

    I'm getting ready to take my DET. I'm really thinking I'm not going to get in this year. I only have 11 points (not sure how I ended up with so few). I'll have to pull 6 points on the DET to even...
