2. Taking a poll ... MCC or Baker???

   Deb Laf111 replied to Dream2011's topic in Michigan

   If you have the choice (getting accepted into both programs) go to MCC (they are accredited). I've noticed many job postings that want applicants to be from accredited schools. Good Luck

3. MCC - Nursing Students Starting 2009

   Deb Laf111 replied to MichyMich's topic in Michigan

   I really wanted to meet some of you, but there were way too many people wearing sunglasses on their head. Was anyone sitting near the front? I was about the 3rd person there at 12:30. I think I did see Corozon, sitting on left side (facing stage) abo...

   Deb Laf111 replied to MichyMich's topic in Michigan

   I'm excited to meet you and make some new friends. I have shoulder length, straight blonde hair and will be carrying a large black bag with silver embellishments on it. I don't know what else I will be wearing, probably jeans and tennis shoes.

5. Anyone sign up for Micro at MCC for the 6 week summer session? Is this crazy??

   Deb Laf111 replied to Deb Laf111's topic in Michigan

   I'm in pathogenic microbiology. I guess I should have made that clear. Sorry about that. That is too bad that we will not be in the same class.

6. How old is too old?!?!?

   Deb Laf111 replied to Amy Married to Art's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am also 46 and was just accepted into nursing school. I also worry about how my age will affect things like being accepted among the younger crowd and getting hired after I am done, but obviously, I would say go for it. You are smart enough to ace...

7. Will my poor GPA make it impossible to get into nursing school?

   Deb Laf111 replied to MrsSpence's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It sounds like you have improved your learning skills in your CNA classes and this shows you will work hard for something you really want. Most nursing programs are very competitive and you will need a high gpa. Every program is slightly different. F...

8. Might sound stupid...but need opinions!

   Deb Laf111 replied to criticalRN10's topic in General Students

   No No No way. This is a huge committment and pets require a lot of attention, especially the first couple of years. You will be so busy in Nursing school and making new friends you will not have time for a pet. It really would be best if you could wa...

    Hi Leea78, Yes, I think we are in the same class and the instructor is Michaelwicz. Sounds like he is tough, but interesting. I did not get the new book, I am going to try use the 5th edition. I would like to take a look at that book and compare to s...

    Deb Laf111 replied to shannonmarie7's topic in Michigan

    Hi Hummingbird, I'm wondering about the how the start date worked last year. Was it based on your ranking at all? Congrats for making it in again. I think your cousin will get in. I know the person that ranked #156 and I really believe she will get i...
