  1. I had my titers and drug screening done at St. John's Main, where they have an occupational clinic or something...basically where their employees get their shots/testing done, and it is also open to the public. I want to say the drug screening was on...
  2. Zhockey- Your first clinical site depends on who your instructor is. I was on a med/surg floor. But ----'s students were on Cardiac. Although, my instructor @ Troy was an ER nurse, they made her operate on Med/Surg for us (she would go back to ER whe...
  3. Usually only the August and October starts get their whole schedule from Teri right about now, January and March starts get them more towards November/December, due to clinical sites changing and people dropping out and what-not.
  4. Does anyone's financial aid summary on their website have an amount there yet? I'm supposed to be receiving a pell grant, and I had to fax my tax forms over to them by June 1st, which I did, although my fax machine can act up sometimes. It use to say...
  5. I received a letter telling me that I had to bring signed copies of my tax paperwork, and a household verification form by June 1st, but that's all I've heard so far..
  6. We had tons of dumb/repetitive questions last year in our orientation... it was pretty ridiculous. Just wait, cause you're going to have them in your classes, and if they'll ask dumb questions in front of ----, they'll ask dumb questions anywhere. I ...
  7. Congrats to you Corazon, for both the grades and upcoming graduation!! I agree with you, I am in the program and still have a life. I've got a 3 year old daughter and a husband, and we still manage to make it out on the weekends with friends, take t...
  8. Blynn - I made it in last year, and we werent ranked on whatever we wanted, it was the A&P, Micro, and English, just like you guys. Some people arent test takers. They may be extremely brilliant, but dont do well on the HESI. Just because someon...
  9. ADN or BSN?

    I wish I had gone the BSN route from the start. Im in MCC's ADN program, and I didn't make it in the first time around. So, once I'm done, it will have taken me 4 1/2 years to complete the 2 year program (pre-reqs included). You have to do whatever i...
  10. Yep. Thats how it starts, with the first 1-40 being able to decide if they want to start immediately in August, or wait till a later date, at which #41 would be notified that theyre able to start in August instead of October if the August start choos...
  11. Lisa- I never seemed to remember the classes by their numbers, just by the teacher or class name.. if you're talking about the 6 hour lab, since we had the same teacher, she kind of just checks you off as you do stuff. there is no final, as your one ...
  12. No, thats not allowed, and you cant put that in your pocket as far as clinicals are concerned. You are allowed to take notes in class with ipads, computers, tape recorders, etc. Skyscape is only able to be registered to one device, so you arent able ...
  13. To broadly answer a few questions I got through PM that may be helpful to all, and to answer the last few...: - I have a Samsung Fascinate (Verizon). I love the phone (but the person I learned about it from had the ipod touch i believe), and Skyscape...
  14. Congrats to everyone for making it in!! I started in January (I was ranked 151 out of 160, slated for March start, and got moved up to the January starts)... After reading the posts, I figured I could answer a few of the questions that people didn't ...
  15. Macomb Pharmacology

    No, apparently I had to ask for a switch by January 3rd, even though I didnt meet anyone till the 7th, so I dont know how I could have switched! But its okay, I couldnt ask for a better instructor. She is really smart, knows her stuff and is so under...
