The nursing program looking rather short.

Has anyone attended this school? Is it good, bad, okay??

You can use a calculator, but it's one they give you...very average. We haven't had a big exam as of yet, but so far you really have to keep up on all the reading, math and medical terminology yourself...they tell you what you'll need to have in a 30 page syllabus.....We all feel like we're drowning at this point, but I guess that's normal. It has an amazing reputation though, and looks great on a resume...!

thanx for responding and good luck to you! I hope you do well

Hi sreed1966:

I feel the same exact way. I'm in the ADN/evening and weekends and I am totally streesed out. I'm practicing vitals every night that I go home. I haven't looked at the med term, not that worried about it because I had it at Wayne County. It's alot with me working full time and embarking on this crazy journey called nursing school.... Good luck to you!!!!:uhoh3::eek::crying2: all of the emotions I go thru in one week......

Hi Waiting:

Today our clinical ran over and we didn't even have time to start doing vital....and check off is in 2 weeks...so we will have a week to practive, get peer evals, and test out of it.....Blah!

I took all my pre-reqs at Schoolcraft. Just noticed you mentioned Wayne State. I'm staying down here with family M-R, and drive up after A&P Thursday nights.....Gonna be a LONG school year, but hopefully it will be worth it! Good Luck! And yes, I cried half of last week! Haven't done it yet this week, but it's only Wed..lol

That sucks.. Are you in ADN or BSN???

I'm in ADN days....but actually I have A&P1 at 5:30-9:50 on mondays with lab...and lec on thurs from 5:30-6:50..

Nurs110 lec M-R 1:30-2:50, and NURS 110C Weds 7-1:30

Not too bad of a schedule. I'm 43 years old, so I decided to just get the 2 year at this point...I'll figure the rest out later.

Same here... I'm 25 and I feel like I've been in school forever... Maybe we can meet up and actually meet in person...

I heard that on the math test you have to get a 90% on it or you are out the program is this true?

You do have to get a 90% on the math test in your second nursing course. If get two attempts to pass it, if you don't you receive a "F" for that course and have to re-take it. IMHO, I wouldn't want a nurse who can't get a 90% on a test that is beginning algebra to take care of me. Passing medications is nothing but basic math.

Oh, so you get TWO chances to pass it, and if not, you can retake the whole course again and still be in the program?

I was told by someone that if you dont get a 90% the first time you fail the program and youre asked to leave.

My syllabus said nothing about being removed from the program. Mercy is a very helpful school, if you need help its available.

bump how is everyone doing?
