   I graduated in May of '11 and became licensed in July of '11. I had been working part time in real estate and made the decision to stick with real estate after graduating/becoming an RN. Fast forward to 2015. I am looking to get out of real estate (c...

2. Did I waste my time/money?

   vm156 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I will try to keep this breif. I graduated in May 2011, and passed my nclex that July. During my entire time in school clinicals I kept thinking "I wonder when I'm going to have a clinical that I really enjoy". At that point I had worked much too lon...

3. Unit manager as first job?

   vm156 replied to vm156's topic in New Nurse

   Just came from the interview. I found out that all RN and LPN jobs at this particular facility are "manager" positions, which means that the person hired oversees 3 CNAs for between 15-20 patients on the unit. This seems like a very strange place for...

4. Unit manager as first job?

8. Pharmacology in the summer at OCC

   vm156 replied to fullofsm1lez's topic in Michigan

   I am also in the online class. In the intro email, the instructor said to log into Blackboard 6, but in the nursing section they say it is being taught in the new version of Blackboard (which I am unable to sign into with my bb6 username and password...

9. Determining GPA from OCC for application

   vm156 posted a topic in Michigan

   I was wondering if when considering students for a nursing program at occ, do they only count the prereqs that pertain to the nursing program? The only shaky grades I've got are from math classes that I took a while ago, but they aren't part of the n...
