1. Lcc roll call applying for 2014

   snow_bear replied to Aryn626's topic in Michigan

   I will be applying for Fall 2013 as I am seeking to relocate to mid-Michigan. I figure I will have 139-141 points by March, so I don’t know if that will be enough.

2. Lansing Community College

   snow_bear replied to snow_bear's topic in Michigan

   That's what I was afraid of. I think I will be better off to finish school where I'm at and relocate after graduation. Hope the job market is better by then! Thanks for your responses. :)

3. Lansing Community College

   snow_bear posted a topic in Michigan

   Do I stand a chance of being accepted into LCC's 2013 nursing program if I don't have ALL of the pre/co-reqs completed by the end of this year? I have a 3.9 GPA, will have all of the pre/co-reqs (including Pharmacology) by the end of this fall term...

4. Nurses with Rheumatoid Arthritis

   snow_bear replied to ssanders80's topic in Disabilities

   Hi. I am a pre-nursing student and was just diagnosed with RA this past January. Since that time, I have been on prednisone and methotrexate and while I am better than I was before treatment, I still have a lot of pain and fatigue. I will probably ...

5. Lumbar Fusion - need some support

   snow_bear replied to vlmusicalsound's topic in Disabilities

   I had a large disc herniation at that level about 12 years ago and had a discetomy without fusion. Made a complete recovery and returned to full function without limitations.

6. UPMC - PSB-RN Exam

   snow_bear replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania

   I would love to work for UPMC as a PCT and eventually as an RN. I've applied and applied, but nothing has come thru.

7. UPMC - PSB-RN Exam

   snow_bear replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania

   Well, I contacted Shadyside SON and was told that I could not retake the math portion of the exam because there are only 56 days between the date I took the exam and the last possible test date. I've pretty much decided to take a CNA course in the fa...

8. CCAC - Evening/Weekend

   snow_bear replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania

   Are you able to select whether you want clinicals on the weekends or are they randomly assigned? I don’t care if I have clinicals all weekend and have to drive to Timbuktoo to get there. I just leave my job until after I finish the first semester a...

9. UPMC - PSB-RN Exam

   snow_bear replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania

   Can I retake it for this fall? I was under the impression that you could only take it once a year. I got an "A" in Algebra. I think I was spending too much time working out the trickier problems instead of just passing over them and doing all of t...

10. Quitting full-time job for nursing school

    snow_bear posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    It looks like I may have to leave my current job if I want to attend nursing school as even the "evening/weekend" programs require that you be available some time during the week for clinicals. One program does have weekend clinicals, but those are ...

11. Appendicitis? Really???

    snow_bear replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Med-Surg

    I had my appendix removed with NO scans before surgery because the doc was so convinced by my symptoms and I did have a high WBC.

12. CCAC - Evening/Weekend

    snow_bear posted a topic in Pennsylvania

    Does anyone know how the class and clinical assignments work for CCAC? The nursing dept secretary told me that some clinicals are on weekdays from 3:00 - 11:00 p.m. and some on Saturday mornings. Do you get any choice in scheduling or do they tell ...

13. UPMC - PSB-RN Exam

    snow_bear replied to snow_bear's topic in Pennsylvania

    I got my test results in: Reading Comphrension: 99th percentile Sciences: 95th Spelling/Vocab: 88th Vocational adjustment: 83rd Math: 36th !!! That obviously rules out Shadyside. Looking into CCAC now.

14. Are there any a&p tutors, or study buddies on this forum?

    snow_bear replied to MsFutureNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Study everything and study every day. Take notes while reading your book, use the online resources from the textbook publisher, study guide, outline notes, flashcards, coloring books, whatever you find works for you. You can NEVER overstudy A&...

15. A&P....love it or hate it?

    snow_bear replied to snow_bear's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'll be done with A&P II in a few weeks, then I'll be taking Micro & Patho in the fall. I'm not really looking forward to Micro, just hope it will be more interesting than I think, but Patho should be fun! :)
