   SkanauxRN2009 replied to Katydidit34's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just know you will get in. I wish you lot's of success with it. I have decided to get out of nursing. I have been in pre req classes full time for two years making mostly A's and some B's, and lately I am reconsidering my dedication to it. I wa...

2. Are your fellow classmates really serious about nursing?

   SkanauxRN2009 replied to jaysma's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I give you a high five. If you read enough of these posts, it is like your in high school or something. I am also an A student, but I would never cut down anyone who is not making these grades. It does not mean they are not serious or giving it th...

   SkanauxRN2009 replied to Carebear77's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That is funny about the guitar class. If you took because it sounded good, then more power to you. Lol. Guitar playing nurse is funny. I am taking 14 credits this semester, but may take more next semester. I have a hubby and two kids. It is kin...

   Your quote says your waiting for your letter, does that mean you found out already if you got in? or you don't know yet? I will keep my fingers crossed for you. :)

5. Should I make a three hour drive?

   SkanauxRN2009 replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Speaking from experience, I left a CC that was very close to home. I transferred to a University, the closest one to me at that, and it is still a 50 minute drive in rush hour traffic. I absolutely hate the drive and it is only 23 miles away. I w...

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

   SkanauxRN2009 replied to dtw2mom's topic in Michigan

   Call your schools nursing department and ask them. That is the best way to answer questions to your concerns. I am a former student of WCCCD, to my knowledge there is not a waiting list there. They take an enormous amount of students compared to o...

7. When applying to nursing schools...Do your reasearch

   SkanauxRN2009 replied to NurseBunky's topic in Pre-Nursing

   From what I have found in my research, a lot of nursing schools are kind of secret about certain aspects of their programs. Some of them will tell you what they want you to hear, not always the truth of the matter.

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

   SkanauxRN2009 replied to dtw2mom's topic in Michigan

   Just wanted to correct you. There is not a waiting list at Eastern or U of M. Don't know who told you that, but it is not true. As for GPA, most nursing schools are expecting you keep your GPA at 3.5 or higher. The two private schools in the area...

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

   SkanauxRN2009 replied to dtw2mom's topic in Michigan

   I attend the University in Ypsilanti. There is no waitlist as a previous poster replied in this forum. U of M does not have a wait list either. I think that is basically a CC thing. You are recommended to keep your GPA at 3.5 or above, but accord...

10. Nursing School entry throughout the states

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to SkanauxRN2009's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for the suggestion. That is funny, hanging out by the door. Lol, I am not a club member yet, they might call security on me, heh. I will still try to find someone in their program on campus. Don't know why all the secrecy with it though. ...

11. do most hospitals only hire student nurses for PCt's?

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It depends on what state you are in I guess. PCA is a fancy word for nurse aide. I worked as one for many years without a certification from the state. They do have CNA's here, but they work in home care or nursing care facilities etc. In the hos...

12. Are your fellow classmates really serious about nursing?

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to jaysma's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I agree with you and Marie. The fact that these people are attending classes is a good thing. Some people don't even make it that far. School is not a priority to everyone. At least they are attempting to get an education. I go to school with a ...

13. Nursing School entry throughout the states

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to SkanauxRN2009's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Forgot to ask you, do you know if your school has high numbers of applicants with limited slots open for student nurses?

14. Nursing School entry throughout the states

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to SkanauxRN2009's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Well much luck and success to you on your entry in to your school's program. I did walk in to the nursing department to see if they had any kind of mentor program, and they looked at me, like I was an alien. Then both women I spoke with told me th...

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to micster's topic in Pre-Nursing

    \ I am a student at EMU. Where did you get your information on their failure of good pass rates? Have you known anyone who has applied to their nursing program? Just wondering. They also have a MSN program. They accept 80 students a year for the ...
