1. Pray for Me

   AuntNana replied to justme01's topic in CNA/MA

   I'll pray for you too. Just treat your patient like he or she is a close friend or family member. Chat with them all the while you are doing your skills--while explaining what you are doing. If you catch yourself forgetting something, just back ...

3. Waiting List 4 Wcc,occ,hfcc And Schoolcraft.

   AuntNana replied to kyla_tiara's topic in Michigan

   WCCCD has no waiting list. It goes by GPA of pre-reqs. Less $$$, Less time, & approximately $0.30 per hr pay difference. I could be mistaken but that's what I've been told. You can always go for the BSN or further later. I hope that helps.

4. WCCCD discouraged

   AuntNana replied to Tiffie1210's topic in Michigan

   Of course, apply. But if you are really concerned about your GPA, take micro over. At the info meeting, I remember hearing: "If you get a "C" in one of the sciences, you probably want to take it over." Check the other threads or call the NUR offi...

8. NWLB is crap

   AuntNana replied to Anne36's topic in Michigan

   I just talked to someone who still works at GM & was given $5000 for some class to learn how to give massages. Amazing, isn't it? I also just called Workfirst myself because I am concerned about all the fees & such after I graduate with my...

9. Please Help!!!!!

   AuntNana replied to kirstin06's topic in Michigan

   $28K in school loans is getting screwed over--LPN or RN. Don't forget, those loans are not the low interest loans offered through the CCs. I agree, go the community college route. What if you want to continue your education? You're going to want/...

10. Reapplying to WCCCCD

    AuntNana replied to SillyRabbit's topic in Michigan

    Hi, I have to add something else too. I went into the NUR office just last week. I was one of the students fortunate enough to get the MI nursing scholarship. I had applied around Thanksgiving last year. Now a new year is upon me so I inquired wh...

11. Reapplying to WCCCCD

    AuntNana replied to SillyRabbit's topic in Michigan

    Hi, I was going to respond a few days ago. I agree w/everything SerenityRN2b2010 said. I'm sure the NUR office is in turmoil because of the move. If it was ME in your position, I would go & get my application packet & tell them I will tur...

    Hi, I did my OB rotation at Hutzel. I loved it down there. They provide student parking & a shuttle service. It's not too far but I was on the day shift & had to be there 1/2 hr. early so that I'd make it to the floor on time. There's a...

15. Anyone else going crazy waiting for nursing school to begin?

    AuntNana replied to mom4jesus's topic in General Students

    I hear ya goofy! Everything you said is so true! I'm also a senior this fall. I took classes towards my bachelor's just so I could keep up the momentum of NS. I am happy I did although quite envious of those laying in the sun (my day will come......
