One of my medical licensing exams is pretty booked up, but there was an opening that fit perfect into my schedule on the 30th of Dec. I'll drive there from here and get there on the 29th. Any locals wanna meet up? Maybe can recommend a cheap motel for the night?

The test center is located at:

8501 West Higgins Road, 6th Floor
Chicago, IL 60631

I will be there unless something pops up here in Philly in the mean time.

I believe that is actually the Schaumburg area? I will actually be driving there tomorrow for the day from Green Bay. Some of the less expensive hotels around there would be the Hampton Inn (which is off of Higgins) The Comfort Suites (which is just off of Higgins as well) Alot of those hotels have corporate rates for alot of companies due to the amount of headquarters' that are in Schaumburg area (My HQ is right across from those hotels on higgins). So check for Corporate rates. That is also around the Woodfield mall (used to be the largest until the Mall of America) Plenty of eating places around there as well. If you partake of the nightlife there are quite a few establishments around there as well ( Entourage, Alumni Club (used to be owned by Walter Peyton) Champps (Sports Bar'ish) There is also a Brew pub on Mall Drive I think that is pretty decent as well as has good food)

Have fun there, it isn't a bad town at all, I am there at least every other week.

Instead of driving to Chicago, can't you just buy a passing score from Blagojevich?

Just wondering....

Friggen web site keeps teasing me. There is an opening tomorrow morning in Philly... I cant make it. The openings often happen at 11p for the next day and are no good after 12a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) People chickening out at the very last minute.

Your test sight is about 5 minutes from my house in Park Ridge, and there is a Comfort Inn on Touhy Ave. in Des Plaines, IL, that is about as close to your test sight. I think a room there is about $80/night, and that's about the cheapest you'll find in the area (that anyone would actually want to sleep in). There is also a Hilton Garden Suites on River Rd, but it is more expensive. Both are 5 minute drives to your test sight. There are many hotels in Rosemont, IL (just next to O'Hare airport), it just depends how much you want to spend.

I'll be in town, though I don't know my schedule yet. My veterinary clinic is also right down the road from where you'll be staying. If it can work, I'd love to get together for a drink or dinner if possible and meet the Trans Dr. I know you'll want to be up all night studying for your boards. I remember when I had to take my Vet Boards, it was real nice to be done with them!

Right on, George. I wont be studying before the test as it is just a clinical skills test. I just go in and act like I am at work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Formality. So the night before would be good for meeting up if we can.


Trevor - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I wont forget the paperwork.

George,

Charge him $85 for the night - he doesn't eat much and if you invite him with honor he brings his own beer!

Sounds like fun. Schaumburg isn't far from me. Have you decided on where you will be staying? Lots of meeting places around.

good luck with the test

i find that sitting next to the smartest person in the room and turning my head to a 90 degree angle in that persons's direction helps alot : ) YMMV : )

Not on this test. 12 patients, individual rooms, and individual kiosks for writing your clinical note with 15min per each pt and note.
