1. Macomb Community College Nursing 2013

   shelbyjosh replied to lewisamber7's topic in Michigan

   I am on the waitlist until March. The waitlist has not moved for 2 months. Since getting my letter in May, I have moved up the list 10 seats. Already submitted an app for the 2013 year and using my HESI score from last year. FWIW, my GPA was 3.4 and ...

2. Macomb Community College - 2012 HESI

   shelbyjosh replied to jeberger2007's topic in Michigan

   I called the other day too and I think I am up 1 spot. She pretty much told me not to expect any alts being called till at least January. She was not overly friendly on the phone either!

   It was MSU. She said they just penned the agreement. Not interested in that part but just want to get off this waitlist!

   shelbyjosh replied to jeberger2007's topic in Michigan

   There was 1 person that came into our alternates meeting and was explaining something to the ladies with her paper. I would guess that might be the person that was not there this morning. ------ indicated that everyone was accounted for in the "acc...

   Getting a little anxious for this afternoon's meeting!!! I am hoping they give us our current waitlist standing. I hope I have moved closer to the top! A few friends are at the meeting right now so maybe I will get some info from them once it is o...

6. Macomb Community College - 2012 HESI

   shelbyjosh replied to jeberger2007's topic in Michigan

   How do they notify you if you are on the alt list and you are able to fill a spot? Letter or phone call? I got my letter and I am #37 on waitlist. I am thinking if a handful don't put their deposit down or don't go to the meeting I will stand a de...

   shelbyjosh replied to jeberger2007's topic in Michigan

   I am 37 so I feel your pain! If people fail to show up for the meeting or don't pay the deposit that works to our benefit. They will get my $100 in a heartbeat!

8. Macomb Community College - 2012 HESI

   shelbyjosh replied to jeberger2007's topic in Michigan

   Got my letter...made the alternate list. Applied with a 90 HESI and 3.0 gpa. Does anyone know how many alts there are? I believe I am #37. What are my chances of getting in as an alternate? Will be sure to go to meeting and keep my spot. Any th...

    I took it in the fall and got an A-. Thought it was pretty useless myself!

    Ok here is what I found out about the required books. The 2 needed are Math Skills for Med Professionals by Hickey and Professional Nursing Concepts and Challenges by K. Chitty. Both are reasonable priced on Amazon.

    shelbyjosh replied to honeybumps's topic in Michigan

    I am in the Saturday 9-12 class. Did you get the blue "scope of practice" book yet? It's kind of an odd book! I did get the math one too. It is more of a review than anything..perhaps to get us ready for the HESI. I was told that there is some m...

14. Anyone taking Microbiology this fall?

    shelbyjosh replied to staceym's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Took patho micro this past winter/spring. Had a great professor that taught a great class. Got a 94 in the class as a matter of fact. Does require a decent amount of studying but nothing I would want to do while taking A&P.

15. Patho and A&P at Macomb??

    shelbyjosh replied to Dream2011's topic in Michigan

    After being out of college for 20 years, I jumped back in with A&P. That was the only class I took. Squeaked by with a B-. Not good enough for me. This past winter I took patho micro with Dr. Raj Pandrangi. He was absolutely wonderful! If I...
