Hi Kelly51420, Things are going great here. Can't wait for my last and final semester to be over with though. I'm counting down the weeks, 14 left to go. It's a very busy semester, so it should go by fast, I hope. How was your first semester? Hop...

I am starting my last semester at St. Clair County Community College and out of 110 students that started my program we are down to 87. We've only lost 23 in 4 semesters. I don't believe that anyone failed this semester and I've heard that very few ...

First of all, like I said the program is very doable. I'm not going to lie, first semester is awful. I thought about quitting multiple times, but I'm now glad that I didn't. Because it does get so much better. I truly believe that first semester ...

I am in currently in the ADN program at SC4. I graduate in May and can't wait. It's a tough program, but very doable. Let me know if you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them for you.
It is a competitive program, but I did get in on my first try. They calculate your GPA, HESI score, and the amount of pre-reqs that you have completed. I had a pretty good GPA and HESI and had all but one pre-req complete when I applied. They acce...
I don't know anything about the job market for LPN's in Michigan, but the school I am at does have a LPN to RN program. I think it's only a year, but you have to have so many work hours as an LPN before applying. I am currently in the ADN program a...
Kelly and Sunshine Congrats to you both!! It is so exciting. I know how you're feeling, you probably just want to get it started. That's how I felt last year at this time. But really just enjoy your summer because it is so much work once you start...
Hi Kelly, I was surprised to see someone else from SC4 on here. I still check allnurses regularly, as I find it very informative even while in the program. Anyways, I am now in my second semester and things are going really well. I'm not going to...

I think I got my book from Borders, but I know that you can get it online as well. I'm not sure how to delete a post. If you know, let me know how and I will do it.

Principles includes principles lecture (4 long boring hours), skills class (2 hours) and clinicals (2 days a week). If you fail any part of these 3 you fail principles and have to retake all of them over. Oh and in addition 8 weeks out of the semes...

(a) let's say that i am getting in for example, if you have all your preq. in how difficult is the first semester then? i don't want to lie and say it was easy, because it wasn't. it was probably the most stressful thing that i have ever done in my l...

Pebbels123, To be honest with you, I don't feel comfortable giving out my private information and would rather talk to you through allnurses. I believe that you can only pm after you've posted a certain amount of times (but I'm not sure). Anyways, ...

I am currently in the nursing program at SC4, 2nd semester. Last year I had a 91 on the HESI, a 3.97 GPA and all but one Pre-req class done. I was in my last pre-req at the time of application, but that doesn't count. I got in on my first try. Yo...
I'm currently a first year nursing sudent at St Clair County Community College (in Port Huron). Pharm is not a pre-req (we take it with our first semester), but we can take patho before we start (or after if we choose to). I had it last semester on...

Does anyone know if all Nike Shox are the same, or do they have different "models"? TJMaxx has all white Shox for $60, where as retail on them says $115. I'm just not sure if they are all the same or do they have some that are less expensive?
