   ChefJackie replied to ChefJackie's topic in Professionalism

   Thank you. That helps, for sure. I am not satisfied on the unit I am on because I am not learning enough. It is a Surgical floor. I have no experience with medical patients, I have only been a part of 2 codes, performed CPR once, and the floor just...

   ChefJackie replied to ShataraJ's topic in General Students

   Hi everyone :) I am a nursing student at WCCCD and I too was worried about getting in the program at one point. And it's funny once I got in, I talked to so many people about their GPA and TEAS scores and believe it or not almost everything you hear ...

   ChefJackie replied to jrg1988's topic in Michigan

   No problem :) If I were you I would take basic Pre-Algebra if you really think you need it. There isn't any Medical Math on the Teas and I can tell you the ATI Study Guide is almost exactly like the TEAS. And also to be honest with you the TEAS isn't...

   Anyone have any shoe reccomendations? I am thinking I might buy some Nike Shox. I do think those shoes are hideous but I hear they are really comfy.

    HSC 100 Medical Measurements and Math is actually a different course than ALH 105 Medical Math. HSC 100 is what is required. HSC isn't offered in the summer or online.

    I am glad you are hearing good things about your instructors. I think we can buy the books now. The bookstore has a website you can shop off of. Anyone ever tried renting books? I have heard about people doing it but I am not really sure how the whol...

    Sorry so late responding.... After you left things started moving very quickly. I was probably in the last 15-20 people called and I left like maybe 15 minutes after you. I didn't get my first choice schedule but after I got home I saw I got really g...

    Yeah, that's what I thought. I was wishfully thinking I could have more time. What's your first 7.5 weeks look like? I am going to be CRAZY busy. Unfortunatley, the only co-req's I didn't take yet just happen to be Nutrition and Med Math. So I am tak...
