1. Respritory therapy

   marcieg replied to dark40's topic in General Nursing

   Airis, I wonder-did you have any healthcare experience before you went into the RT program? It's sounds like radiology will work out better for you. I have worked in hospice as an aide for 4 years now, and ALL my patients die, it would be nice to se...

2. Monroe County Community College- RT or Nursing students?

   marcieg replied to marcieg's topic in Michigan

   Thanks for the info. I am much more interested in the RT program. It has been a good 17 years since I took the ACT, lol. I feel like I have been burned on nursing programs too many times now anyway (changing pre-reqs after I have already been waitlis...

   marcieg posted a topic in Michigan

   Hi all, I am looking into the Respiratory Therapy and the Nursing program at MCCC, wondering if there were any other appliciants or students here? What do you know about MCCC? What's the amount of competition for each program? Thanks!

4. Respritory therapy

   marcieg replied to dark40's topic in General Nursing

   Kharing, I have a couple of questions for you, if you don't mind. Were you able to work while you were attending school, and if you did, was it related to RT? Thanks!

5. Any Nursing Assistants uncertified?

   marcieg replied to dream2life07's topic in Michigan

   You might also look into being a home health aide, I have been one on and off for about 12 years, and I have never been certified as a CNA. The hours are very flexible and you also get milage reimbursement. I work as an HHA for a hospice and I love m...

6. looking for the silver lining

   marcieg replied to marcieg's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The difference is the tuition costs between the community college and the private college- 340.00 a credit hour (jumping to 381.00 when nursing classes begin) vs. 67.00. I can take 5 credits at the CC for every one at the other college. I was awarded...

7. looking for the silver lining

   marcieg posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Wow, do I feel stupid... I had been taking my pre-reqs at community college (with a 2 year waitlist for their ADN program). I was accepted into a private college for the BSN program after months of admission hassles, and was planning on starting cl...

8. how did you pay the bills during school? Hubby freaking out!

   marcieg replied to marcieg's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks everyone, I will have my husband read all these too. Unfortunately, there is basically nothing else to cut back. We rarely eat out, cell phones are a necessity for our jobs, we are both on the road all day, and have the mininmum plans that me...

9. how did you pay the bills during school? Hubby freaking out!

   marcieg posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am going to start my actual nursing classes in September 2006, and my husband is freaking out (to put it mildly). He knew this was coming, and now that I have been able to find out what semester for sure, he is in a panic about money. We have been...

10. Madonna University in Michigan

    marcieg replied to marcieg's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for everyone's input. I was accepted into the BSN program, and I will start Madonna in the fall, but I will still be working on pre-reqs for a couple more semesters. I think no matter where you go, there will be a mix of students, some good a...

12. which is better? 2 or 4 year RN for SE MI

    marcieg replied to dtw2mom's topic in Michigan

    I live in SE Michigan, I found that I will finish my 4 yr program in about the same amount of time as an ADN program with the waitlist at my local CC. I am choosing to go to a private school, so that cuts down on the waitlist, I have heard some scary...

13. wearing wedding rings during pt. care

    marcieg posted a topic in General Students

    I have been working as an HHA for a few weeks now and I have developed a rash under my wedding ring. It has an intricate design, so I think powder from the gloves and moisture is getting trapped in there somehow. I (of course) wash my hands constantl...

14. A+P 1 vs. A+P 2

    marcieg replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    At our school, we haveI and II of them combined into a 15 week "anatomy boot camp hell" (instructors words on the first night of class) and the level has stayed the same throughout- fascinating but very overwhelming. Some things came easier because o...
