1. Micro, Chemistry, and AP I (two in one semester)

   awhitt001 replied to nnicolee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I actually took AP I and Micro at the same time. I didn't find it to be too difficult. The first couple of weeks were actually almost identical (cell structure and general biology). Although Micro spends the rest of the time covering non-human cel...

   awhitt001 replied to iwillact's topic in Oklahoma

   RLPORTEE -- I'm sorry to hear of your situation and hope that you ARE able to find a program that works for you. Again, try your state's Board of Nursing website. Also try looking on your state's government website. Our's (Michigan) lists programs...

4. Any info on hospitals that will pay my school bill?

   awhitt001 replied to iwillact's topic in Oklahoma

   RLPORTEE -- What you said in your original post did not offend me. What I said was that it was difficult to believe and I explained why. To be clear, I'm not saying that you lied in your post either. I'm only saying that you may not have all of the...

5. Taking A & P 1 this Fall

   awhitt001 replied to littlebitark's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'd second just about everything above and add a couple more.... 1) Get your book(s) as soon as possible and start reading. You won't know everything when you get to class the first day, but having already read the material, the lectures may "click...

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

   awhitt001 replied to Dream2011's topic in Michigan

   I agree with John20. I'm currently at Baker finishing pre-req's -- received my AAS there and I like the school. But when it comes to applications for the Nursing program, I'm submitting app's to multiple schools. I've spoken with a few friends tha...

8. How Do You Feel About Nursing Schools Still Milking the "Nursing Shortage" Lie?

   awhitt001 replied to Mezcalero's topic in New Nurse

   A couple of things to think about..... 1) If you simply look at the predictable increase in patients due to the aging "baby boomer" generation, the projections for nurses over the next 5-10 years is anticipated to be at shortage levels, even with ev...

9. Will it matter that I have a non-nursing B.S.?

   awhitt001 replied to maggie24's topic in Student Assist

   Maggie -- I saw that you mentioned that your Anatomy grade will be 5 years old once you graduate, but have you looked into a school that has a "nursing as a second career" program? For instance, the University of Michigan has an accelerated program ...

10. How well do Bakers credits transfer??

    awhitt001 replied to cgallagher's topic in Michigan

    I'm a Baker student finishing up my pre-reqs to apply in Fall 09 for the Spring 10 term. (I already have a AAS from Baker as well, so I've been in school a while ) Because the competition is so tight at Baker, I've decided to hedge my bets and appl...

    awhitt001 replied to gemberly's topic in Michigan

    I too am in this situation and will be submitting my appeal in a couple of weeks. I'm not expecting any problems, but if I do have them, I'll be up a creek From what the financial aid advisor told me, this is not a school thing, but a federal thing...

14. Would You Prefer a Male Nurse?

    awhitt001 replied to djc1981's topic in Male Students

    I'm just the opposite. After two separate HORRIBLE experiences with male GYNs, I will never agree to a male GYN again. I even refused a male OB and made quite a scene when they tried to send one in at the last minute when my daughter was born. How...
