1. I think it is time for the MCC hopefuls to start count down

   sasmith525 replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan

   That would probably be a very good move on their part to have one person in charge of giving pre-nursing information. When I met with a counselor before I applied in spring 2007 I was told not to even bother because with my current GPA I would not h...

2. I think it is time for the MCC hopefuls to start count down

   sasmith525 replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan

   Yes...and actually 152 is in, it's 153 that's gonna be mad...probably as upset as #121 used to be! In all honesty it sounds like the plan to go with 152 occurred last minute because I think our instructors said they weren't told until last minute. W...

3. I think it is time for the MCC hopefuls to start count down

   sasmith525 replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan

   We were told when we started the 1500's that they opted to leave two open spots in each start date so that if anyone fails or takes a voluntary stop out(for medical, personal/family issues), that they don't have to wait as long to get back in. They ...

5. Which nursing program to pick

   sasmith525 replied to nicoleEMT's topic in Michigan

   It's english...either 1180 or the other class that is compairable. I just started Macomb's program this week. Everyone seems nice and the staff seems helpful, but it is a lot of work! Much more reading then I have ever done before(I should be read...

6. Stethoscope question for MCC Students

   sasmith525 posted a topic in Michigan

   I am starting the program at MCC in about a week and I still need to get a stethoscope(among other things). I am debating between the Littmann Cardiology III and the Classic II S.E. I know I can probably get away with the cheaper one, but I eventuall...

7. Question for current MCC nursing students

   sasmith525 posted a topic in Michigan

   I am starting the nursing program at MCC in January and think I may want to get a PDA like they were talking about at orientation. With Christmas right around the corner, I thought it may be a good gift idea so I wanted to start price shopping and s...

8. Winter 2009 Nursing Registration @MCC

   sasmith525 replied to sasmith525's topic in Michigan

   I start in January. I saw what you were saying about the classes and clinical schedules. There is a certain day I want to try and get because it will better coordinate with my other schedules, but I guess I get what I can get. Looks like I will be...

   I recieved my letter the other day that let us know that registration for the nursing program for winter 09 won't begin until December 26. Being a new nursing student, I was wondering if any former/current students had any tips on registration like, ...

    When I took it back in 2002 it wasn't that bad. No cat dissection, but I do remember a rat. This could have changed in the last 7 years though!:chuckle

    I'm a January start and mine came, just as a single regular letter though, not in a big envelope with the other info. Hope that helps!
