   michigansstudent replied to lovemyhuskies's topic in Michigan

   I am currently in the program. Work two twelves a week and have a family. The first semester was not a problem. Now that class is four days a week, I do find some stress in trying to get all of the assignments done. I am thinking of cutting back ...

2. Are we allowed to gloat here?

   michigansstudent replied to AZO49008's topic in General Students

   Congrats! It is refreshing to hear about those who are doing well. I am holding my own in my first 7.5 week classes, also. The amount of reading took a minute to get used to, but totally doable. To all those stressing about hearing how impossible...

3. Anatomy @ Macomb CC

   michigansstudent replied to Sirena922's topic in Michigan

   Personally I would take A&P in the winter. It is the most important prereq once you get into the program. You could prob do ok in the summer if that is your only obligation, but you might be cutting yourself short by cramming in the info so qui...

4. I am one big ball of stress!

   michigansstudent replied to Hopeful32's topic in General Students

   A&P is tough it requires a lot of rope memory. I found it best to read chapter all the way through, then make an outline of the important parts in the chapter before lecture. i also used a coloring book that had all of the body parts in extreme...

5. trouble converting to ns study

   michigansstudent replied to michigansstudent's topic in General Students

   Thanks for all the advice. I think I need to relax a little. I do the questions on the cd with the book. They only give like 10 per chapter so going through those twice and it is a done deal. I attend Macomb Comm. I think my biggest problem is g...

8. trouble converting to ns study

   michigansstudent posted a topic in General Students

   I have just started nursing school. In my prereq's I would pre read each chapter, go to lecture and take notes, get home and rewrite my notes, then do a final reading of the chapter. It was a great system. Pulled high A's the entire stretch. I ne...

9. first nursing test: FAILED

   michigansstudent replied to robert2010's topic in General Students

   The first test is always the hardest. You just dont know what to expect so therefor are not sure what and how to study. Sometimes getting a bad grade on the first test gives you insight into getting great grades the rest of the term. Of coarse the...

11. Question about mcc's admission process

    michigansstudent replied to solidus's topic in Michigan

    They will use your college gpa. Stress over the hesi that is worth 50%. I picked up work books used to study for the meap. I ended up with a great score. I found the study guide to be too vague. GL

    michigansstudent replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    I wanted to do my research on something that would pertain to my real life and be different from the rest so that it would hold the instructors attention and perhaps help in the grading. I did swimmers itch. It is more parasitic than bacteria but w...

    Hi I am so excited to start the program. I have read so many things on how scary school will be, 50% make it, no time for anything but studying, a syllabus that is about a hundred pages, etc. Yet, I cannot wait to meet all of you and get started. S...

    michigansstudent replied to AllieBaney's topic in General Students

    You are going to surprise yourself. I too was not a good student in high school. I did what I had to do to graduate. Credit where credit was needed. Did not go to classes that I didnt feel I needed. Boy was that some stress at the end. Anyway, ...
