1. Questions about applying for the WCCC Nursing Program

   Scantron Mom replied to crazybutterflygirl's topic in Michigan

   *Forgot to say - Don't fret over re-taking those core pre-reqs for a straight A. True, both low/high grades will be displayed on your Webgate record, but the department will only include the higher when evaluating your application-GPA. I am in the p...

2. Questions about applying for the WCCC Nursing Program

   Scantron Mom replied to crazybutterflygirl's topic in Michigan

   The number of applications does not matter if denied because of 'too low' GPA. However, your application(s) may be *remembered* if you're denied due to insufficient documentation, incomplete forms, etc. If you've got your eggs in line, are a master ...

3. WCCCD Medical Math

   Scantron Mom replied to Veritable_RN's topic in Michigan

   I had Dr. Gwendolyn Cook...excellent! She is very structured, wants you to succeed, and isn't afraid to give you tips for easier calculations. Math has always intimidated me (my highest section was business math - never took algebra either) and I tho...

4. WCCCD discouraged

   Scantron Mom replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan

   We (students beginning the program this month) have been repeatedly told by numerous sources, that the cut-off was at 3.7 for alternates. However, please don't let that intimidate you - this session was also the last time WCCCD allowed outside studen...

5. WCCCD nursing essay

   Scantron Mom replied to MISSALISSA777's topic in Michigan

   I did as I was told; combine the two. I thought of the two topics more so as, where do I see nursing in the future, and how will I make an impact in the field AS a nurse. I don't know anyone (personally) who turned in two essays.

6. WCCCD Orientation

   Scantron Mom replied to SmackerNurse's topic in Michigan

   *I'm also at Western - Annapolis with Peltz...class with Diedo. Send me an email if you're interested in connecting. They may combine their NUR111, but either way, we have the same clinical section AND our NUR110. Hi everyone! I was told by friends...

7. Immunizations

   Scantron Mom replied to TinkerBell2002's topic in Michigan

   I recall Ms.Norris mentioning that a drug screening would be necessary for WCCCD's program, but it's not included in our list of requirements. Am I overlooking something? Are we supposed to have a drug screening prior to orientation too?

8. PDA Recommendations?

   Scantron Mom replied to SnowStar4's topic in Michigan

   Hey everyone...you can kill me...but only AFTER I graduate. :sofahider I asked my husband about the book situation and he reminded me that our son's first DS broke, and the second is the same color as his PSP. So there you have it. I had the two mixe...

9. PDA Recommendations?

   Scantron Mom replied to SnowStar4's topic in Michigan

   Yes My husband found several DS functions by surprise. His intention was to 'tease' my son by playing a few games when he was grounded from electronics - and he went out and purchased one for himself. It can hold complete programs (even Office, Drea...

10. HFCC or WCCCD????

    Scantron Mom replied to Erica2BRN612's topic in Michigan

    Erica I wouldn't put much trust in the website information. Last I checked, it had not been sufficiently updated in quite a while. The program nursing classes are held at (Belleville) Western and (Detroit) NW campuses. They used to be held at the D...

11. PDA Recommendations?

    Scantron Mom replied to SnowStar4's topic in Michigan

    Sorry. I was referring to the Nintendo DS.

12. PDA Recommendations?

    Scantron Mom replied to SnowStar4's topic in Michigan

    Why can't we opt for putting the same book information onto our DS's? A DS does pretty much everything that a PDA does. Can someone give me a few website addresses (for electronic book purchases) so I can call and ask? We've been using our DS's for r...

13. HFCC or WCCCD????

    Scantron Mom replied to Erica2BRN612's topic in Michigan

    From my (witness) experience, it is true for everyone. I had two classmates in Micro that arrived to class just a LITTLE upset. They had planned on applying in May 08 for the fall 08 program and were both told (at different times - guess they were in...

14. WCCCD Fall 2008 Waiting!

    Scantron Mom replied to SmackerNurse's topic in Michigan

    Congrats Amie and nice to see you on the boards! I'm not quite sure what these gals are talking about though. Over-joyed and nervous? Who? Us? HAHAHAHA... We're all in this together! Congrats to everyone. Meme...I really hope they do right by you - ...

15. HFCC or WCCCD????

    Scantron Mom replied to Erica2BRN612's topic in Michigan

    Hi Erica! I was once in your shoes; HFCC or WCCCD. I chose WCCCD and start the nursing program this fall. I wanted to inform/remind you of something that many people overlook. WCCCD requires these courses be completed AND POSTED to your transcript pr...
