1. Transition from Psych to Med Surg

   Veruka replied to Stephieee's topic in Med-Surg

   I worked psych for 2 1/2 years (1st job out of school), and was displaced to a med-surg floor. In my opinion, the psych background definitely helped!! Patients rarely come in with one problem, and alot of them have some psych issues. You can use y...

2. Anatomy in the summer??

   Veruka replied to MsAshley's topic in Michigan

   Go for it! I took 233 (at HFCC) in the summer, and it was fine. Believe me, it's much better than taking them WITH the nursing program (which is when I had to take 234). You can do it! Good luck!

6. Rant: others sitting in on lectures

   Veruka posted a topic in Michigan

   Ok, I just need to get this off my chest. I was lucky enough to get the section I wanted with a great instructor, through the lottery this year (as well as the other 25-30 people or so that are there, too). However, there are several people that see...

8. HFCC 221 Diabetes Help!!!!!

   Veruka replied to ToBANurse2010's topic in Michigan

   Read the book, read the book, read the book. Then after you read it three times, go over your instructor's power points. This is what I got out of my lectures so far..... Diabetes 1: remember MUST be treated with insulin. The pancreas can not pro...

11. Do you know someone who has a criminal history and became a nurse?

    Veruka replied to nurseO9's topic in Criminal

    Read again. It clearly says misdemeanors are included. Depends on the degree of the theft. From what I gather, it would be 5 years. "5 years: Any other misdemeanor involving assault, fraud, or theft."

    Well, 3 of my friends just got jobs there and they JUST graduated. They won't have their license until they take the NCLEX, so for now they are graduate nurses (not interns).
